Abstract

A survey of northeastern dairy farmers showed most dairy farmers who either shifted their dairy cooperative membership or quit marketing their milk through a cooperative did so because of special assessments imposed by the cooperative. Most current members gave high marks to the way cooperative management performs. Members by and large also gave high ratings to their cooperative in such areas as obtaining good prices for milk, providing high-quality services, and keeping members informed on cooperative matters. Most members want their dairy cooperative to stick strictly to milk marketing and exclude associated services. Most members think dairy cooperatives must handle and process more members’ milk for greater efficiency; however, they do not think this should be done either through merger or more member financing to build additional facilities.
