Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report is part of a renewed and expanded area study similar to one made in 1950-51. The original study had the following major objectives: (1) to obtain information on costs and labor requirements of the several operations in egg handling, (2) to determine and measure the factors affecting costs, and (3) to check, measure and interpret the findings by applying them to actual operating conditions. This report covers the first of these objectives for eight farmer cooperatives in the Northeastern States and Ohio. It essentially presents comparative statistics of (1) total costs, (2) direct unit costs of 12 individual operations by associations, (3) indirect (overhead) costs by associations, (4) costs by type of packs, and (5) output per man-hour of labor by individual operations for eight cooperatives in the northeastern States and Ohio.
