I don’t find anything wrong with farmer co-ops, which I view as muscular form of liberty & association in action.
Farmers can, I believe, actually achieve better results financially by banding together.
Thought my comments questioning Loudon’s assertions about Henry Wallace did not reinforce them by presenting the facts.
Yet your reflection “I don’t find anything wrong with farmer co-ops, which I view as muscular form of liberty & association in action.” did not show this,
I didn’t say there was (anything wrong with Wallace setting up co-ops), and actually I agree with you. Wallace set those co-ops in Iowa and they did some good. He took a lot of heat from certain heavies. Now who would be against him doing that. Guess who they would be and what they would say ? All the author of the piece did was reflect the charges made against Wallace (which I remember as a young man at the time) and duly report them. As Henry The Ford The 1st proclaimed “History is bunk”
