GARGANO, Cecilia. Campo de Herrera: history in the reedbed. Investigation, extension and rural self‐organization. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.121-137. ISSN 1514-6871.
In 1966, during the dictatorship headed by General Juan Carlos Onganía, several sugar cane were closed in the province of Tucuman, in northwest Argentina. One of them, the former mill "Bella Vista", became the “Cooperativa de Trabajadores Unidos de Campo de Herrera”, the first experience of an agricultural cooperative organization in Argentina the country. The history of the emergence and trajectory of this cooperative, located in the locality in Famaillá, had the National Agricultural Technology Institute (INTA) first organization dedicated to research and rural extension throughout Latin America as the main actor, which was indeed the first organization dedicated to research and rural extension throughout Latin America. INTA suggested that lands could be exploited collectively. An anthropologist and a technician crew were involved in the next chapter, when they were part of a team that built a fundamental link in the life of the cooperative, during the political and social upheaval in the 1970s. From institutional documents, research materials and interviews, this article analyzes the trajectory of this experience, from the beginning until the dismantling of the team, as part of a repressive cycle of long duration.
