Equity in the agriculture industry or in a cooperative refers to the value of the assets owned by the organization or its members after all the liabilities or debts are subtracted. Patronage refers to the practice of returning profits or benefits to the members of a cooperative or mutual organization, such as a farmers’ cooperative, in proportion to their use of the organization’s services or products.
A cooperative, or “co-op,” is a type of organization that is owned and controlled by its members, who are typically farmers, ranchers, or other agricultural producers. In the agriculture industry, co-ops are often formed to provide collective marketing, purchasing, or other services to their members.
