No 316300, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The frequent and far-reaching changes taking place in the poultry industry have directed increased attention to producers' needs for credit. This report is based on an initial study of the feed financing plans that nine farmer cooperatives provided for broiler and turkey producers. Objectives of this study were: 1. To determine types of plans cooperatives used to finance feeds, including their systems, policies, and practices for maintaining decision-making and independence of farmer-members. 2. To indicate distinctive procedures followed in handling risks, gains or losses, and in encouraging efficient production. 3. To determine operating results, problems encountered, and ways efficiency might be improved. 4. To develop suggestions or guidelines for associations now providing feed financing or contemplating such service.
