Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Publication of this Handbook was begun at the outset of World War II. Officials of several regional cooperatives indicated the need for a publication which would point out to Federal and State agencies the importance of these cooperatives in providing farmers with essential production supplies during the war period. These Handbooks are also used by farmer cooperative leaders, educational agencies, and others. From them they have obtained a better understanding of the operations of regional cooperatives handling farm supplies and have followed trends and progress in their services to and benefits for farmers. Part I of this Handbook gives information on each of 21 major regional cooperatives handling farm supplies in the United States for their fiscal years ending in 1956 and 1957. Principal items considered for each of the 21 associations include: age of the associations, area of service, type and number of retail outlets, number of patrons served, membership requirements, voting provisions, number and terms of directors, number of employees, fiscal year endings, dollar volume of business, types of supplies handled, distribution of net margins, revolving capital, total cash distributions to patrons, and financial conditions of the associations for 1956 and 1957.
