Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Agricultural cooperative statistics are collected annually and published to provide information on the position and trends among the Nation’s farmer, rancher, and fishery cooperatives. These statistics are used for cooperative benchmarking, research, technical assistance, education, planning, and public policy. The collection, analysis, and dissemination of cooperative statistics by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are authorized by The Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926. This report presents agricultural cooperative statistics for 2017 in table and chart format and consists of six sections: : (I) overall financials; (II) number of co-ops, memberships, and employees; (III) business volume, top co-ops, and losses; (IV) Top 100 cooperatives; (V) benchmark statistics for comparing cooperatives; and (VI) statistical trends. Selected highlights are provided at the beginning of each section, and associated tables follow.
