Sumario:Argentine agricultural cooperatives have been concerned from their origins with the dissemination and implementation of cooperative principles, technical training for the youth and the implementation of adequate information and training. In this regard the cooperative movement in the province of Buenos Aires finds in the Agricultural Cooperative Tres Arroyos a privileged expression, as a pioneer in the creation of the Youth Agricultural Cooperative in 1942 and an elementary school of Agriculture in 1947. The purpose of this paper is to study both undertakings as cooperative strategies shared by the cooperative movement and other actors of the agricultural world, aimed at rooting the youth to the land, offsetting the rural exodus and the consequent reduction of workforce employed in rural areas. We want to analyze coincidences with the policies of historical Peronism, studying, at the same time, the characteristics of the school -conceived as a model- and the conditions that lead to its demise.
