Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The primary intent of this study was to determine where marketing practices could be strengthened to improve marketing efficiency, and thus to increase returns to farmers as patrons of cooperatives. It is also necessary to be sure that commercial users can depend on cooperative manufacturers for a supply of dry milk that meets their specific needs. As far as can be determined, this is the first study that combines an analysis of the experiences and practices of manufacturers with a study of the experience of users. Eleven cooperatives and 20 commercial users were selected for the study. The 11 cooperatives selected for study accounted for approximately one-third of the total U.S. production of nonfat dry milk.
