Abstract

This is a two-stage study of Kentucky farm women’s attitudes toward and involvement in farm supply and marketing cooperatives. A mail survey of 880 farm women examined enterprise, family, and personal characteristics of members and nonmembers. Personal interviews with managers and chairmen of the boards of 30 cooperatives examined organizational procedures and attitudes of administrators on women’s involvement. Farm women viewed cooperatives as business organizations, primarily instruments for individual economic satisfaction. Cooperative officials and women differed sharply in their views of cooperative operations, member satisfaction, and the cooperative’s receptivity to women’s involvement in all aspects of operations.
