 Livestock Marketing Cooperatives in California--Their Progress, Policies, and Operating MethodsR. L. Fox No 316218, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study of the structure and operations of the livestock marketing cooperatives in California was made at the request of the three major livestock cooperatives operating within the State and the Livestock Department of the California Farm Bureau Federation. These cooperatives offer various types of service to farmers and ranchers in California and adjoining States, but new developments in production, feeding and livestock marketing may require different services to meet the needs of the industry today and in the future. The major subjects explored in the study were: (1) Present livestock production, (2) markets available to livestock producers, (3) use producers make of livestock marketing cooperatives, (4) need for improvement or expansion of present services, (5) possibilities for cooperatives to coordinate existing services, and (6) areas where other cooperatives are needed.
