Excerpt from Cooperative Marketing of Turkeys Some of their major accomplish ments have been in increasing their processing efficiency; market ing more effectively; paying growers equitably and thus giving them greater incentive to produce quality birds; performing production and related services for growers at cost; and providing growers with turkey insurance, information, low-cost packing materials and transporta tion, and other benefits. Turkeys were first marketed cooperatively in 1918. The earliest associations, known as pools, were small, informal groups formed to market one or two carloads of turkeys in the fall. The next step was organization of State or district pools. These, in turn, made up the membership of the first regional federation in 1930.
