Abstract

Excerpts from the report Foreword: This report is the result of numerous requests for information about the total number of farmers' markets in the United States. It covers part of the findings of a study which was started in 1941 by the Cooperative Research and Service Division, Farm Credit Administration. Activities pertaining to World War II disrupted the field work begun at that time. In 1946, the field studies were completed and brought up to date. For the purpose of this publication, a "farmers' produce market" is a market place where farmers do their own selling of produce from their farms. Before an adequate analysis of the operation of farmers' produce markets can be made, it is important to know how many such markets there are in the United States, their geographical distribution, and type of ownership and management. This report covers these subjects from a purely descriptive viewpoint.
