Abstract

The structure and operations of local cooperative elevators were affected by excess storage capacity, modifications in Government programs, and other factors during the late 1980s and early 1990s. While the reduction in Government storage payments had the greatest impact on elevator operations, other programs such as Payment-In-Kind (PIK), Government grain sales (Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) catalog and auction sales), and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) also affected cooperative elevator activities. In 1988 and 1992, 71 cooperative managers were asked to rank a number of factors that affected cooperative operations and management strategies used as a practical response. This report presents these rankings and analyzes management strategies implemented between 1988 and 1992 and their degree of success.
