Abstract: Excerpts from the report: In coping with the changing technology, cooperatives are now giving considerable attention to economic integration. Integration describes the process of bringing together and performing economic functions under centralized control. It usually requires additional capital and highly skilled management. To assist cooperatives in integration. Farmer Cooperative Service and Farm Credit Administration have jointly undertaken an analysis of the programs of cooperatives that have successfully integrated agricultural activities for their farmer patrons. The cooperative and integrated activities of United Cooperative Farmers, Mass., (UCF), of Fitchburg, are an example of progress in adding and improving services. This report describes these activities and their development. Such information should be helpful to other association interested in providing more services or extending present ones.
