Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: This report analyzes the costs of handling and storing farmers' stock peanuts in commercial facilities during fiscal 1965-66. The results are based on accounting records of 64 storage facilities selected randomly to represent principal areas and types of facilities. The sample included 28 independent warehouses and 36 shelling plants. Costs were developed for four primary services performed as a part of peanut handling and storage: Cleaning and drying, receiving, loading out, and storage. Three types of cost estimates--book, standardized, and replacement--were derived for each service. Out-of-pocket costs, which exclude interest and depreciation charges, were also developed for each service performed. These services are defined in the appendix.
