Great article about co-ops. I just received a very nice dividend check from our local grain cooperative. My dad always talked of how when both a local an electrical coop and a telephone coop wanted to set up in our county seat how the local main street businessmen revolted. They didn't want any "communists" coming into our town. So the 2 coops set up on nearby smaller towns and are now the largest employers in the area. Narrow minded people. Thank you Dani for your writings. James Holte

Brava Dani ! Well done; research and composition spot on. The more I read you, the more I'm certain that we are 'on the same page' and that you too are struggling to 'sell it' - so to speak. Brava ~

Great article, and for the next “mind blown” moment let’s consider who else has their interests more aligned with rural Americans and farmers than the current administration? Answer, China the world leader in PV’s

Thank you for your excellent research and writing! I stumbled upon this post quite by accident-- oh happy day! After the first sentence I was fascinated; by the end of the first paragraph I was hooked. Your point that the political beliefs of the Farmer's and other residents of rural areas are mostly irrelevant in the support of the cooperatives that help the entire community thrive. I will follow you for further enlightening education from the heart of this nation. ♥️
