Abstract

Excerpts from the report: For several years farmer cooperatives in the North Central States have been exploring the possibilities of increasing service to members by integrating all operations from mining to the application of complete plant nutrients on farm fields. To assist these organizations Farmer Cooperative Service has developed technical information, with funds authorized under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, on a number of related problems which have been presented in other reports. The information provided by these previous reports include detailed data on freight rates and freight rate structures for plant food ingredients used by cooperatives in manufacturing fertilizer. While such freight facts by themselves are useful in transportation plans and programming, they need further interpretation, especially in their effect on the actual price a cooperative member pays for fertilizer. It is the purpose of this report, therefore, to interpret by graphic means some of the more important facts indicated by these freight rate data and thus bring their economic importance into proper focus.
