Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This study was undertaken to meet a request of the Extension Service of Texas A & M College, the Houston Bank for Cooperatives, and the Texas Federation of Cooperatives. They recognized that many cooperative gins and elevators provided minor or no farm supply services. They were interested in learning more about the operations of marketing associations that successfully handled farm supplies so that they might advise other cooperatives of the potential in this field. The broad objective of the study was to provide data useful to cotton gin and grain cooperatives now handling farm supplies or others interested in adding supply services. Special consideration was given to: (1) Advantages or disadvantages of providing supply services; (2) problems that might be encountered; (3) benefits to farmers; and (4) policies and methods that have provided efficient operations. The study did not attempt to determine why the cooperative purchasing of supplies has not developed in Texas to the extent that it has in many other States.
