Abstract: Regional and interregional cooperatives increased the volume of grain handled in 1980, and again in 1981, to a total of 3 billion bushels—up from 2.5 billion bushels in 1979. Total storage capacity of their subterminals and terminals rose to 494 million bushels. Corn, at 1.4 billion bushels, ranked as the leading grain handled by those 19 grain cooperatives. Major facility improvements and increased farm grain sales were two contributors to the growth. The grain cooperatives in this study marketed 98 percent of total grain volume (excluding rice and edible beans) of all regional cooperatives.
