Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The 1957-58 survey of farmer marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives shows a substantial increase in the dollar volume of these cooperatives. Total gross value of farm products marketed, farm supplies handled, and receipts for services performed by cooperatives amounted to $14 billion compared with almost $13.5 billion in the previous year, representing an increase of almost 4 percent. Total net volume, after eliminating duplication resulting from interassociation business, amounted to almost $10. 7 billion. This is an increase of more than 3 percent over the net business of almost $10. 4 billion in 1956-57. The number of cooperatives decreased from 9,872 in 1956-57 to 9,716 in 1957-58, representing a net decrease of 156 associations. The total number of memberships in farmer cooperatives decreased for the second consecutive year. Memberships in 1957-58 were 7,485,090 compared with 7,671,730 in 1956-57.
