Farm Organizations: January 2008 Archives

General farm organizations in Saskatchewan have had a colourful, and in some instances coloured, past. They have followed some interesting patterns - often established in the face of poor economic circumstances, their membership structure based loosely on some past organization's structure, and (most importantly) governed by, and only by, producers themselves. Ultimately, the demise of these organizations has also followed similar patterns - dilution of their focus or objectives and declining membership to the point of insolvency.
