      abstract = {The Glasgow Cooperative and Ray-Carroll Grain Growers, two  successful farm supply-marketing cooperatives in Missouri,  have made significant contributions to their 6,700 members  and to their communities.  Organized in 1923 and 1931,  respectively, these cooperatives have developed grain  marketing and storage facilities, dependable sources of  farm supplies, a wide variety of related service for  farmers, and a competitive influence on other agribusiness  firms in the trade area.  The study also points out the  cooperatives' contributions to the welfare of local  business communities, including participation in local  activities and leadership. },
