# Purpose

The purpose of this Part is to provide for the formation and operation of agricultural co-operative associations and to provide for the rights, powers, liabilities and duties of co-operative associations.

Associations organized hereunder are non-business associations inasmuch as membership therein is limited to producers of agricultural products.

This Part is designed to encourage the intelligent development of agricultural products through co-operation and to rehabilitate farm families of low income on a scientific and co-operative plan.
