Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This report discusses how Indiana farmers market their wool cooperatively. Cooperative leaders may use this information to help improve existing wool marketing operations or to develop new organizational structures and operating methods. Readers who are not acquainted with wool trade terminology may wish to refer to the appendix for an explanation of some of the technical terms used in this report. The Indiana Farm Bureau Cooperative Association, Inc., was selected for the study on which this report is based because: (1) It successfully markets large percentages of the wool produced in its trade area; (2) its warehousing, handling, and grading operations are efficient; (3) its methods of getting wool are unique among cooperatives; (4) experiences of this large-scale, multipurpose farmer cooperative may be useful to similar types of associations interested in providing wool marketing services for members; and (5) characteristics of the wool production environment in Indiana are similar or comparable to those of a high proportion of the small-clip producing areas in the United States.
