Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report provides detailed financial data for all farmer marketing, supply, and related service cooperatives in the United States that were listed with Farmer Cooperative Service the year the study was made. The purpose of the study was to obtain basic information on the financial structure of these cooperatives and their sources and use of capital, a type of information for which the Service receives continuing requests. The report fulfills the need for an examination and analysis of the financing methods employed by all cooperatives, classified by major function and geographic location. This report discusses the various means farmer cooperatives use to accumulate funds to meet their capital needs. It summarizes the financial structure of farmer cooperatives. It analyzes amounts and sources of farmer cooperative borrowings, the nature and amount of equity capital, and the methods used for distributing annual margins and savings.
