At a gathering held in Toronto on March 19 and 20. 1914, 300 leaders of agricultural groups from across the province established United Farmers Co-operat.ve Company, Ltd. As the business arm of the United Farmers of Ontario agrarian movement, they provided farm input and marketing services to improve economic conditions for Ontario farmers. The founding of UFCC and UFO sparked the development of buying clubs and co-ops in many communities, and over a number of years, our present CO-OP system evolved. In 1948, UFCC was reorganized as United Co-operatives of Ontario, and to-day, UCO and its member co-operatives carry on serving farmers' supply and marketing needs.
