No 314191, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpt from the report: This study describes trends since 1950 and present status of the principal cooperatives in supplying fertilizer to farmers. It shows their share of fertilizer sales; their plant capacity and share in manufacturing basic fertilizer materials and their derivatives; and some of the reasons why cooperatives have integrated operations back to the production of such plant foods. Also included are estimates of the amount of cooperative investments in fertilizer marketing and production facilities and the number of local employees and service facilities supported by the manufacturing operations of farmer cooperatives.
