Abstract: A survey of U.S. farmer cooperatives for calendar year 1986 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 5,369 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, and sales volume. Data on balance sheet and net margins, number of full-time employees, and selected activities of other service organizations are presented.
