Abstract: A survey of U.S. farmer-owned cooperatives ending their business year during calendar year 2000 showed a net business volume of $99.7 billion, up from $99.1 billion in 1999, although net income of $1.28 billion was down from $1.33 billion. Gross business volume was also up for the 3,346 cooperatives surveyed. Assets and liabilities were up and net worth was about the same. Business volume by commodity handled is reported for all cooperatives. Number of cooperatives, cooperative memberships, and number of employees are classified according to marketing, farm supply, and service function. Trends in cooperative numbers, memberships, employees, business size, sales volume, net income, assets, liabilities, and net worth are reported along with data on selected activities of other cooperative service organizations.
