Second Thursdall of each month
The view from
Rural Route #8
by Jim Suber
Co-op.
The spokesmen were
blaming the lack of fertilizer
sales in the soggy Midwest for
the failure of Farmland In-
dustries, which sought Chap-
ter 11 bankruptcy at the end
of May.
Oh, come on.
Maybe the bankruptcy is
nothing less than some of the
final words to the sad story of
the decline of small family
farming in America.
Or, one could blame it all
on poor management of an
odd-ball business struc-
ture--that is, member-owned
cooperatives operating under
laws written just for
them--trying to survive in a
world of more conventional
corporate predator fish. A
tadpole inn pond filled with
bass and pickerel was Farm-
land in the business world,
some will say. And, they
might add, it no longer--if it
ever did--deserved special
treatment.
Is this the end of a noble
experiment in community to-
getherness? A death blow to
the cooperative spirit of the
populist plainsmen? Probably
not necessarily, but it does
give one pause.
If old-time watches of coop-
eratives will take a step back
in time with me, they will find
• a basic conflict and adversar-
ial relationship between the
cooperative system and the
private sectors since Day One.
The latter not infrequently lev-
eled charges of unfairness
against the former, and the
former usually tried to posture

when Farmland sold its Flor-
ida fertilizer complex to Cargill
{this was no joke and raises
questions of who knew what
when and let whom else know)
anything was possible, be-
cause Farmland,. through all
its machinations and stripe-
changes and hair-dos, in-
eluding its dumping of its
grain.business of all things,
clutched tightly to its phos-
phate, which unlike nitrogen,
isn't readily available for proc-
essing.
Of particular interest to
Kansas will be the fate of the
deal Farmland had or has with
U.S. Premium Beef to operate
as the nation's fourth or fifth
largest beef packer, depending
on whose statistics come to
rest before you.
Back to the local level, one
has only to recall the whole-
sale consolidations of local
farm cooperatives in the last
15 years, including some
bankruptcies of some of those
individual ones and even sev-
eral of the little strings of
them, to recognize times that
have changed, at least outside
of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota arid Wisconsin,
• strongholds of cooperative
culture.
Otherwise, Wall Street has
already carved the turkey, it
would appear, at least until
the next beleaguered set of
folks with some problem in
common starts another one.
Cooperatives used to hold
soft places in the heart," and
people could joke a little about
them without fear as they
might about a likeable but
bumbling uncle. Thirty-two
years ago in west-central Kan-
sas, a straight wind blew down
a big metal "Double Circle CO-
OW sign near where I worked.
A friend posed a riddle: She
asked me if I knew what the
.sign ~d when it hit the
ground. I didn't guess. She •
said, "Koh-Whop["
According to one survey, there
are now a record number of bil-
lionaires in Amer!ca--nearly 200.
