[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1813372, member: 42463"] I remember when the King Ranch had their own town. They owned their own stores and bought wholesale, negotiating prices with manufacturers at times because sometimes they bought enough to do it. Fencing especially comes to mind. And there have been people in Ag that have formed Co-ops in the past to get better prices, buying in bulk at wholesale. Some of the farm and ranch stores today are evolved from those efforts. I've never really heard of a successful effort for people to influence the market for their product though. People don't get together and say that they will only produce 90% of what they produced last year so that the product becomes more scarce and prices go up. Some of that is done through governmental efforts/interference/regulation/subsidy (?) but not by citizens. [/QUOTE]
