Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The 1960-61 survey of farmer marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives showed an increase in total dollar volume, a small decrease in the total number of memberships, and a continuation of the downward trend in the total number of cooperatives. Total gross value of farm products marketed, farm supplies handled, and receipts for services performed by cooperatives amounted to almost $16.2 billion. This was an increase of 3.5 percent over the $15.6 billion in 1959-60. Total net volume, after excluding interassociation business, amounted to more than $12.4 billion. This represented an increase of 3.1 percent over the $12 billion of the previous year. Total number of memberships decreased by 70,560 and amounted to 7,202,895 in 1960-61. The total number of cooperatives in the survey decreased from 9,345 in 1959- 60 to 9,163 in 1960-61. This was a net decrease of 182 associations.
