Book excerpt: Excerpt from Integrated Petroleum Operations Through Farmer Cooperatives, 1950 and 1957 Many farmers formed cooperatives to provide themselves with high quality oil products at the lowest possible cost. These cooperatives represent a form of economic integration by farmers to procure needed production supplies. Over the years, petroleum coopera tives have found it advisable to follow industry trends and to vertically inte grate their operations further. Begin ning first with retailing, they moved on to wholesaling and then on to refining and producing crude oil. Their own transportation services accompanied each step. This was consistent with the integrated activities of farmers in earlier days when they produced their own feed for horse and mule power.(3) numbers and kinds of services or functions cooperatives performed in processing and distributing petroleum products; and (4) extent to which farmer cooperatives had integrated their petro leum operations.
