Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The 1956-57 survey of farmer marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives shows a substantial increase in the dollar volume of these cooperatives. Total gross value of farm products marketed, farm supplies handled, and receipts for services performed by cooperatives amounted to $13.5 billion compared with $12.7 billion in the previous year, representing an increase of 6.2 percent. Total net volume, after eliminating duplication resulting from interassociation business, amounted to $10.4 billion. This is an increase of 6.4 percent over the net business of $9.7 billion in 1955-56. The number of cooperatives showed the smallest net decrease that has occurred in several years, declining only to 9,872 from 9,876 in the previous year. The total number of memberships in these cooperatives decreased to 7,671,730 from 7,730,710 in the previous year. This decrease in memberships reversed the upward trend that has prevailed for a number of years.
