Any two or more agricultural cooperatives may, by agreement between them, unite in employing or separately employ the same personnel, methods, means, and agencies for carrying on their respective businesses. Agricultural cooperatives, acting singly or collectively, may meet in conference with two or more purchasers of their products who are acting collectively, and may at the conference fix by agreement the prices to be paid by the purchasers to the agricultural cooperative for the products. Such concerted action by the purchasers is not a contract in restraint of trade.
