Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The 1961-62 survey of marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives showed a continuation of the upward trend in the total business volume, while the number of these cooperatives and their memberships continued to decrease. Total gross volume of business handled by these cooperatives, including interassociation business, amounted to $17.2 billion. This was an increase of 6.3 percent over the $16.2 billion reported in the previous year. Total net business, after adjusting the gross figure for business done between cooperatives, amounted to $13 billion. This was an increase of 5 percent over the $12.4 billion in 1960-61. The total number of these cooperatives decreased from 9,163 in 1960-61 to 9,039 in 1961-62. This was a net decrease of 124 associations. The total number of memberships in these 9,039 associations decreased from 7,202,895 in 1960-61 to 7,110,240 in 1961-62, representing a decrease of 1.3 percent.
