      abstract = {Review of the development and current state of antitrust  law regarding cooperatives shows that interpretations of  legal activities for farmer marketing cooperatives have  varied widely.  A public policy defining the scope of  exemptions granted cooperatives by the Capper-Volstead Act  of 1922 and defining procedures for determining undue price  enhancement under the act would improve the operating  climate for cooperatives.  Recognizing the intense  competition and importance of large, diversified firms in  the food industry, the policy should foster workable, as  opposed to perfect, competition, and permit marketing  cooperatives to participate in the economy as fully as  other firms.},
