The farmers can all be member-owners and share in any profits.

Explanation: A cooperative is owned and controlled by its members, who typically share in profits (patronage refunds) and have democratic control (one member, one vote). The other statements are incorrect: control isn't automatically given to the largest farmer, co-op earnings/members are generally subject to tax rules, and a cooperative must be legally formed/registered according to state law.
