Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The general purpose of this study was to survey existing cooperative financing methods in current use and report the findings for the assistance and guidance of all farmers' cooperatives. The project was undertaken in direct response to a request of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives and the American Institute of Cooperation. It fulfills in part a long felt need for an examination and analysis of the methods of financing employed by farmer cooperatives. The report discusses the various means farmer cooperatives use to accumulate funds to meet their capital needs. It summarizes the financial status of farmer cooperatives. It analyzes sources of farmer cooperative borrowings, the nature and amount of membership or equity capital, the methods used for distributing annual margins and savings, and the uses farmer cooperatives make of the revolving fund system of financing. In addition, the report treats some of the more pressing financial problems reported by cooperatives.
