October is National Co-op Month and this is the International Year of Cooperatives. Member-owned farm cooperatives create local jobs and improve food security. Two million U.S. farmers are members of more than 2,100 ag and retail purchasing cooperatives. These co-ops reinvest in their community. During National Co-op Month, Associated Milk Producers Incorporated and its Dinner Bell Creamery, the North Dakota Farmers Union and the Red River Farm Network recognize the role cooperatives play in our lives. Remember, cooperatives build a better world!
