Administrative history
The Rural Co-operator started publishing in 1936, first as an organ of the United Farmers of Ontario, and then later by Ontario Federation of Agriculture. It was a direct descendant of the earlier papers of the farm movement, beginning with the Canada Farmers’ Sun, the Weekly Sun and the Farmers’ Sun. In 1944, editor Leonard Harman brought a proposal to the Federation suggesting that the Rural Co-operator should be operated as a separate department with its own staff. Subsequently, Andrew Hebb of Newmarket was hired to be the new Editor and Manager of the paper. The Rural Co-operator was re-branded as "Farm and Country" in 1966.
