Abstract: A survey of U.S. farmer cooperatives for calendar year 1984 showed a record high total net business volume but continuing decline in number of organizations and memberships. Total gross business and total net business volume are reported for 5,782 cooperatives. Business volume, number of cooperatives, and cooperative memberships are reported by commodity for those cooperatives classified as marketing, farm supply, and related service. Cooperative growth trends show changes in cooperative members, business size, sales volume, and share of marketing and purchasing activity. Data on balance sheet and net margins and selected activities of other service organizations are presented.
