Abstract:

Eastern North Carolina farmers entered into a cooperative business plan in 1936. Farmers from five counties - Carteret, Craven, Jones, Onslow, and Pamlico - organized the Federate Cooperative Exchange, Inc. The cooperative operated out of New Bern where cannery, meat curing, and processing plants were opened.
