Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: This is the second in a series of reports on studies dealing with liquid fertilizer distribution by farmer cooperatives. It covers operations of 17 local cooperatives located in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Pacific Supply Cooperative's (PSC) Fertilizer and Chemical Division personnel selected the cooperatives for study on the basis of the cooperatives' experience in liquid fertilizer distribution. The objectives of the study were to determine: (1) The type, size, cost, and adequacy of facilities and equipment used; (2) operating practices and policies followed; (3) distribution problems; and (4) possibilities for improving distribution services to farmers. The associations selected for study were either owned by or affiliated with PSC. The primary materials distributed were: (1) Aqua ammonia (20 percent nitrogen); (2) 32 percent nitrogen solution; and (3) liquid mixed (8-24-0) fertilizer. Some of the locals studied distributed other types but only to a limited extent at the time of this study.
