Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Because of increased emphasis on integration of farm operations. Farmer Cooperative Service is interested in obtaining information about impacts of such integration on cooperatives. The Farm Credit Administration is interested in the credit needs and related problems confronting cooperatives and their members that are growing out of further integration of farm operations. Therefore, these agencies have jointly undertaken studies of the effects of integration on cooperatives. The first association selected for study and the subject of this report is the Central Carolina Farmers Exchange, Durham, N. C. (CCFE or the Exchange). This association reported performing a number of different services for its farmer members. These are divided into three broad classes – marketing farm products, providing farm supplies, and furnishing farm business services. This report includes a brief description of kinds of integration and covers the agricultural environment and highlights in the operations of CCFE. It considers the nature and extent of integrated farm enterprises, contractual arrangements used, and appraises the future possibilities for and impacts of integration from the standpoint of both members and the cooperative.
