Abstract: Fifteen new agricultural marketing cooperatives more than doubled their membership and increased their sales almost 300 percent during the study period, about 1968 to 1978. These cooperatives were studied because they successfully survived their initial 5 to 10 years of operation. Banks for Cooperatives were active in providing capital for seasonal and operating purposes but less active in providing long-term loans to these new cooperatives.
