The Scoop Shovel was the official organ of Manitoba Cooperative Conference, including Manitoba Co-operative Dairies, Manitoba Egg and Poultry Pool, Manitoba Co-operative Livestock Producers, and Manitoba Cooperative Wholesale. It was published by the Manitoba Wheat Pool. Its pages record the struggle of farm co-operators to bring to bear the principle of cooperation on agrarian economic problems and to illuminate the central importance of the cooperative principle to human affairs locally and internationally. The sub-series consists of a complete run of The Scoop Shovel.
During the independent existence of Manitoba Pool Elevators, the Manitoba Co-operator, published by the Manitoba Co-operative Conference Ltd., was the official organ of the cooperative movement in the province. The sub-series consists of issues of The Manitoba Co-operator from 1931-1936 and 1943-2001.
