Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study is to provide basic information on the financial structure of farmer cooperatives. Surveying and analyzing present methods of financing cooperative management should provide insight into methods of financing and forms of capital structure that are better adapted to current conditions than some now in use. The published results will also help reduce misunderstandings concerning the use of capital. This study covers all farmer marketing, supply, and related service cooperatives in the United States. Farmers' mutual telephone, irrigation, and fire insurance companies; artificial breeding cooperatives; dairy herd improvement organizations; rural electric cooperatives; and credit associations are not included.
