Abstract

This directory contains a listing, by State, of almost 1,500 farmer-owned marketing, supply, service, fishery, and bargaining cooperatives. The information was collected from every farmer, rancher, and fishery cooperative that USDA Rural Development’s Cooperative Programs surveyed and that gave permission to be listed in this directory. The information includes the cooperative’s contact information, type of cooperative, and products that they sell. This directory is updated on a regular basis on our Web page http://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/allprograms/ cooperative-programs. Cooperatives are classified according to type. Most are marketing, supply, service, bargaining, or a combination. Marketing cooperatives assemble and market commodities produced mostly by their farmer-members and may or may not engage in processing. Supply cooperatives purchase and/or manufacture farm production supplies for distribution, mostly to farmer or rancher-members. Service cooperatives perform a range of farm production and managementrelated services, such as grove care, agronomic services, financial and management consulting, artificial insemination and herd management, transportation, and storage. Bargaining cooperatives negotiate price, quality, and delivery terms with buyers on behalf of their members, but typically do not take title to commodities.
