Livestock Marketing 



Approximately 12 I. OCX) carloads of 

 livestock were produced and marketed 

 by Illinois farmers in 1936. If the 

 effect of the cooperative agencies is to 

 increase average price level only 'Sc per 

 hundred, the additional income on 1936 

 volume would amount to a million and 

 a cjuarter dollars. What more should 

 the livestock producer expect in the 

 way of dividends.' 



In a recent meeting of livestock men. 

 one livestock producer replied in an- 

 swer to the cjuestion. "What Do Live- 

 stock Producers Expect From Their 

 Marketing System.'", that 'they expect 

 too much." Is that true.-' What should 

 livestock producers expect from their 

 marketing system.' What are the ob- 

 jectives in the cooperative program ' 

 Can you answer these questions? The 

 men whose pictures appear here are 

 helping supply the right answers. 



Some men say that cooperative agen- 

 cies should be primarily interested in 

 paying dividends or returning savings 

 to shippers. Others say that the coop- 



eratives should be able to fix prices 

 Still others believe that the cooperatives 

 should be able to sell their livestoik 

 for just a little bit more than they get 

 for anybody else's livestock. None ol 

 these answers is true. The real objec- 

 tives of the Cooperative Livestock Mar- 

 keting program are Sales. Service and 

 Savings. 



These pages are dedicated in honor 

 of Count} Livestock Marketing Com- 

 mittees. Because of their help and the 

 support of the I'arm Bureau. Illinois 

 has become the leading state in volume 

 of livestock marketed cooperatively. 

 Approximately 2'> per cent, or one car- 

 load or truck load out of every four 

 goes through cooperative channels 



Gentlemen, may you live long and 

 prosper. The livestock producers owe 

 you a debt of gratitude. The RLCORD 

 takes this opportunity of expressing 

 to you the appreciation of Illinois' or- 

 ganized farmers for the work you are 

 doing.
