Abstract: A survey of U.S. farmer cooperatives for calendar year 1985 showed a drop in business volume and a continuing decline in number of organizations and memberships. Gross business and net business volume are reported for 5,625 cooperatives. Business volume, number of cooperatives, and cooperative memberships are reported by commodity and State 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.
