Abstract

Excerpts from the report: A 1964-65 survey of marketing, farm-supply, and related-service cooperatives showed a continuing upward trend in total business volume, a slight increase in number of memberships, and a decline in number of organizations during July 1, 1964- June 30, 1965. Total gross business volume (includes intercooperative business) handled by these cooperatives amounted to $19.6 billion. This was an increase of 1.9 percent over the $19.3 billion reported in the previous fiscal year. Total net business, after adjusting the gross figure for business done between cooperatives, amounted to $14.7 billion. This was an increase of 2.7 percent over the $14.4 billion net in 1963-64. The total number of farmer cooperatives decreased from 8,847 in 1963-64 to 8,583 in 1964-65, a net decrease of 264 associations. Cooperative memberships totaled 7,082,010 in 1964-65, a slight increase over the 7,079,500 memberships reported for 1963-64. While the membership figure remained relatively stable during this reporting period, the long-term trend has been a decline in cooperative memberships due to the decreasing number of farmers in the United States.
