Abstract: A survey of U.S. farmer cooperatives for 1996 showed a record gross business volume of $128.1 billion and a record net business volume of $106.2 billion for the 3,884 coop eratives in the survey. Net income of $2.25 billion in 1996 was down 4.9 percent from the record $2.36 billion in 1995. Assets, liabilities, and net worth were up. Business volume by commodity handled is reported for all cooperatives. Cooperatives are classified according to marketing, farm supply, and service function. Trends in cooperative numbers, memberships, business size, sales volume, net income, assets, liabilities, and net worth are reported, along with data on selected activities of other service organizations.
