FARMER MARKETING, SUPPLY 

AND SERVICE COOPERATIVES 

HISTORICAL STATISTICS

 Over the years, statistics1 on farmer 

cooperatives have provided a measure of the 

extent to which farmers have used 

cooperatives to improve their economic 

position. Statistics were first compiled on 

U. S. cooperatives around 1863, covering 

the operations of 35 cooperative cheese 

factories. By 1900, at least 1,223 active 

marketing and farm supply cooperatives 

existed in the United States. 

First Nationwide Survey in 1913

 The first nationwide survey of farmer 

cooperatives was undertaken by the Office 

of Markets and Rural Organization of the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

from 1913 to 1915. The Department initially 

 

1

 As a historical report, this 

document relies on the work of many prior 

authors. In the early years, R.H. Elsworth, 

O. B. Jesness, and W. K. Kerr were the 

principal authors of cooperative information 

cited here. These and other authors are 

listed with their publications in the 

bibliography. J. Warren Mather and 

Katherine C. DeVille were instrumental in 

assembling data covering 1900 to 1980. 

Anne L. Gessner initially wrote the section 

on early surveys. Celestine C. Adams 

revised and updated the data, text, and charts 

for the time period of 1991 to 1996. Charles 

A. Kraenzle was instrumental in developing 

many of the current data handling methods 

used. 

received reports from 3,099 cooperatives 

with an estimated business volume of $310 

million. Final tabulations, after eliminating 

duplicates and non-cooperatives, showed 

5,424 cooperatives. It was estimated that 

these cooperatives had 651,186 

memberships and a total business volume of 

about $636 million. 

The second nationwide survey of 

farmer cooperatives was conducted in 1919 

as part of the agricultural census by the 

Bureau of the Census of the United States 

Department of Commerce. The data showed 

624,527 farms that sold to, or purchased 

from, cooperatives. Sales through these 

cooperatives amounted to almost $722 

million while purchases by 329,449 farmers 

were nearly $85 million. 

Early in 1922, the Department of 

Agriculture began another nationwide 

survey of cooperative buying and selling. In 

1924, the Department reported 10,170 active 

cooperatives. From this time period to the 

present, the Department annually collected 

data on the number, membership, and 

business volume of marketing and farm 

supply cooperatives. The 1924 statistics 

showed the development of "large-scale" 

cooperatives operating over an entire State 

or producing region. During the 1925-26 

marketing year, almost 200 of the 10,803 

associations listed by the Department were 

classified as "large-scale." 

1930s and 1940s

Statistics on farmer cooperatives 

have been published each year since 1930. 

The 1929-30 survey reported 12,000 

marketing and farm supply cooperatives, 

with an estimated 3.1 million memberships 
2

and a business volume of $2.5 billion. 

The 1936-37 survey was a joint 

effort by the Farm Credit Administration, 12 

district banks for cooperatives, and 33 

agricultural colleges. It was the only 

"door-to-door" nationwide survey of farmer 

cooperatives and served as the benchmark 

for later surveys. The 10,752 cooperatives 

reported nearly 3.3 million memberships 

and a total business volume of $2.2 billion. 

The effect of the Great Depression 

on cooperative activity was evident during 

the decade of the 1930s. Dollar volume fell 

to a low of $1.3 billion in 1932-33 and then 

rose to $2.3 billion in 1940-41, but was still 

below the $2.5 billion reported for 1929-30. 

By 1940-41, memberships had 

increased to 3.4 million, while association 

numbers dropped to 10,600. Statistics in the 

1940s reflected the impact of the war years. 

 Cooperatives developed plans for 

manufacturing powdered milk, producing 

dehydrated foods, and performing other 

types of processing required by the war. 

During the remainder of the decade, 

memberships and business volume of farmer 

cooperatives continued to increase while the 

number of cooperatives decreased slightly. 

1950s

Extensive changes were made in the 

1950-51 survey to more accurately 

document the operations of regional 

cooperatives. The survey provided for 

allocation of the dollar business volume of 

each regional association to the States in 

which the farm products originated and the 

farm supplies were sold rather than crediting 

all of an association's business to the State in 

which the regional cooperative maintained 

its central office. Similar adjustments were 

also provided for membership figures. 

Equally important was the provision for 

reporting on the amount of business 

conducted among cooperatives, or 

intercooperative business. Gross business 

volume includes intercooperative business, 

such as sales of farm products by a regional 

cooperative for a local member cooperative 

or sales of supplies by a regional to its 

member local. Net business volume 

excludes intercooperative business. The 

allocation of sales to the originating State 

and documentation of intercooperative 

business resulted in increased accuracy and 

use of the statistics. 

1960s to the Present

Around 1960, the data were changed 

to reflect the addition of Hawaii and Alaska. 

 Calendar years were used until 1978. 

Memberships still contained considerable 

duplication because many farmers were 

members of more than one cooperative, with 

an average of about three memberships per 

active farmer. 

Early surveys were mainly tabulated 

by pencil and paper. Manual, and then 

electric, calculators made the statistics easier 

to handle and tabulate. In the 1960s punch 

cards were used and the database was 

managed on mainframe computers. 

Personal computers were first used in the 

1980s and continue to be used to maintain 

the database. Soon, the database will be 

accessible on the Web and a Web-based 

survey is being developed. 

Cooperative information is now 

collected and reported by Rural BusinessCooperative Service–part of USDA Rural 

Development. USDA considers four major 

criteria in identifying an organization as a 

farmer-owned cooperative: 

(1) Membership is limited to persons 

producing agricultural and 

aquacultural products and to 

associations of such producers; 

(2) Cooperative members are limited 
3

to one vote regardless of the amount 

of stock or membership capital 

owned; or the cooperative does not 

pay dividends on stock or membership 

capital in excess of 8 percent a year or 

the legal rate in the State, whichever 

is higher; 

(3) Business conducted with nonmembers may not exceed the value of 

business conducted with members; 

(4) The cooperative operates for the 

mutual interest of members by 

providing member benefits on the 

basis of patronage. 

These criteria may result in larger or smaller 

numbers of farmer cooperatives than found 

in lists or directories of State agencies or 

cooperative councils. 

 RBS classifies each surveyed 

cooperative under one of the following 

major functions: marketing, farm supply, or 

service. For example, fishery and ethanol 

cooperatives are classified as “other 

product” marketing cooperatives; wool 

pools are classified as marketing 

cooperatives; and livestock shipping 

associations and rice drying cooperatives as 

service cooperatives. 

 Marketing cooperatives derive most 

of their total dollar volume from the sale of 

members' farm products. These 

cooperatives are further classified into one 

of 13 commodities or commodity groups, 

depending upon which accounts for most of 

its business volume. USDA may reclassify 

a cooperative into a different commodity 

category if its primary business volume 

changes significantly. 

 Farm supply cooperatives derive 

most of their business volume from the sale 

of farm production supplies, farm machinery 

and equipment, and building materials. 

Many also handle farm and home items, 

such as heating oil, lawn and garden 

supplies and equipment, and food. 

 Service cooperatives provide 

specialized services related to the 

agricultural business operations of farmers, 

ranchers, or cooperatives, such as cotton 

ginning, trucking, storing, drying, and 

artificial insemination. Livestock shipping 

associations and rice drying cooperatives are 

also classified as service. 

Many cooperatives handle multiple 

commodities and provide both marketing 

and farm supply services, as well as the 

facilities and equipment used to perform 

these services. These associations are 

classified according to the predominant 

commodity or function, as indicated by their 

business volume. Periodically, the database 

undergoes closer examination of 

classifications, and large numbers of 

cooperatives can be affected. In 1976, 688 

associations were removed as these 

organizations were found to be patrons' 

associations formed around grain elevators 

and lumber yards for voting purposes and 

not acting as business organizations. In 

1989, cotton ginning cooperatives were 

reclassified as service cooperatives. This 

decreased the number of cooperatives 

classified as cotton and significantly 

increased the number of cooperatives 

classified as service. 

Number, Membership, and Business 

Volume

Early data collected encompassed 

gross and net business volume of 

cooperatives marketing 13 products and 

selling 8 types of farm supplies. Business 

volume, as well as the number of 

cooperatives and their membership, were the 

primary items collected (tables 1-15). In 

1990, some farm supplies previously 

reported separately (farm machinery and 

equipment, building materials, containers 
4

and packaging supplies, meats and 

groceries, and general farm supplies) were 

combined into the “other farm supplies” 

category. Data on full-time employees were 

collected in 1981, 1986, 1991, and annually 

starting in 1994 (table 16). 

 The items collected on the survey have 

continued to evolve and much of the newer 

information collected centers on providing 

useful financial information to the 

cooperative community. The next sections 

discuss data series added to the surveys to 

more adequately study the structure and 

scope of cooperative operations. 

Organized and Discontinued 

Cooperatives

Collection of information on 

cooperatives that organized (or started 

operations) was begun in 1957. There are 

10 different marketing classifications as well 

as information on farm supply and service 

cooperatives (table 17). 

From 1900 through 1938, and 

starting again in 1957, data has been 

collected on the number of cooperatives that 

discontinued operations (went out of 

business for any of several reasons). Again, 

information collected includes 10 different 

marketing classifications and also farm 

supply and service cooperatives (table 18). 

In 1970 USDA began compiling 

information on why a cooperative 

discontinued operations. This data series 

contains information on the total number of 

marketing, farm supply, or service 

cooperatives that went out of business, 

merged or consolidated with another 

cooperative, were acquired by another firm, 

or ceased operations for other unknown 

reasons (table 19). 

Grouped by Volume

Most farmer cooperatives, as 

measured by annual gross business volume, 

are relatively small and serve local areas. 

Some actively seek regional, national, and 

even international markets to increase 

business volume. Although few in number, 

larger cooperatives account for much of 

cooperatives’ business volume. They have 

grown in size partly from mergers, 

consolidations, and acquisitions. 

Business volume data was first 

collected in 1976 and continued in 1979, 

1980 and 1983 through 2002. Over the 

collection period, about 75 percent of all 

farmer cooperatives reported a business 

volume of less than $15 million (table 20). 

However, the largest farmer cooperatives 

with a reported business volume of at least 

$200 million consistently account for about 

half of total cooperative sales. 

Market Share

Market share information was first 

estimated for marketing and farm supply 

cooperatives in 1951 (table 21). Estimates 

have continued through 2002. Marketing 

shares have ranged from 17 to 31 percent 

while farm supply shares ranged from 19 to 

29 percent. 

Financial Structure and Net Income 

Financial structure and net income 

information were first collected in special 

financial profile reports conducted in 1954, 

1962, 1970, 1976, and 1977. Financial 

structure and net income data became 

regular collection variables in the 1979 

survey and have continued through 2002. 

When first collected, financial 

structure and net income information were 

comprised of total assets, total liabilities, net 

worth, and net income before taxes for all 

cooperatives. Net income before taxes is 

further broken down into patronage refunds 

received from other cooperatives and the 
5

percent that patronage contributes to net 

income before taxes (tables 22-23). 

Financial information currently collected 

contains many more balance sheet and 

income statement items. When this report is 

updated, these additional financial items will 

be included. 

State Data

 State level has been collected since 

the survey started. Information in this report 

contains State data from 1993 for all States 

(tables 24-26, 30-32) and from 1950 for the 

top 7 States (tables 27-29). State tables 

include information on the number of 

cooperatives, memberships, and gross and 

net business volumes. State data is now 

collected in the odd years, i.e., 1997, 1999, 

2001... 

Figures

The tables in this report provide the reader 

useful data. Figures allow visual 

presentations of the data and often trends not 

apparent in tabular presentations can be 

detected. Some of the tables in this 

publication have associated figures and are 

presented in the final section of this report 

(figures 1-11).

 In most cases, the dissolution, consolidation, or acquisition may have occurred a year or more 

 earlier than when the cooperative was removed from RBS’s list. 

2

 Due to a reclassification of cooperatives, a large number were no longer included in the survey. 

 These organizations were patrons' associations formed around grain elevators and lumber yards for 

 voting purposes and inactive livestock shipping associations. 

3

 A major effort was made in 1978 and 1979 to contact inactive and non-respondent cooperatives 

 through an agreement with the Statistical Reporting Service, now National Statistical Service (NASS), 

 U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Footnotes to table 30 1

 Includes centralized and federated cooperatives and those with mixed organizational structures. 2

 Includes farmer-members (entitled to vote for directors) but not nonvoting patrons. (Duplication in these 

 membership figures 

 occurs because many farmers belong to more than one cooperative.) Totals may not add due to rounding. 3

 Data covering operations of cooperatives for fiscal years ending during the above years. States listed are those 

 with more than two cooperatives or where disclosure is not a problem. 

4

 Cotton ginning cooperatives are now classified as service, not cotton cooperatives. 5

 Cooperatives performing specific services related to a commodity are included. Incorporated local associations 

 of a federation 

 that perform the actual marketing or processing are counted. 

 6 Includes foreign memberships. 

7

 Excludes soybean meal and oil. 

8

 Membership fluctuates annually and is affected by the extent to which producers participate in price stabilization 

 programs. 

9

 Includes sugar, sugarcane, sugar beets, honey, maple syrup, molasses, and sorghum. 10 Includes forest products, hay, hops, nursery stock, coffee, and other farm products not separately classified. 11 Cooperatives providing services related to marketing or purchasing activities.

1

 Data covering operations of cooperatives whose business years ended during the listed calendar years. Includes 

 independent local cooperatives, federations, centralized regional cooperatives, and cooperatives with mixed 

 organizational structures. The volume of products marketed is allocated to the State in which they originate and 

 the volume of farm supplies is allocated to the State in which they are sold; service volume and other income is 

 allocated to the State of origin when services relate to farm products marketed or to the State of destination when 

 related to farm supplies sold. 

2 Net business volume excludes sales between cooperatives. States listed are those where more than two 

 cooperatives handle the commodity or farm supply or where disclosure is not a problem. Totals may not add due 

 to rounding. 

3

 Includes value of farm products imported, farm supplies exported, services related to imported farm products or 

 exported farm supplies, sales to domestic military installations, or sales of farm products not received directly 

 from member-patrons. 

4

 Includes forest products, hay, hops, nursery stock, fish, coffee, seed marketed for growers, and other farm 

 products not separately classified. Also includes manufactured food products and resale items marketed by 

 cooperatives. 

5

 Includes building supplies, containers and packaging supplies, farm machinery and equipment, animal health 

 products, automotive supplies, food, hardware, chicks, and other supplies not separately classified. 6

 Income from services related to marketing and purchasing activities but not included in the volumes reported for 

 these activities.

 Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS) provides research, management, and 

educational assistance to cooperatives to strengthen the economic position of farmers, fishermen, 

and other rural residents. It works directly with cooperative leaders and Federal and State 

agencies to improve organization, leadership, and operation of cooperatives and to give guidance 

to further development. 

 The cooperative segment of RBS (1) helps farmers, fishermen, and other rural residents 

develop cooperatives to obtain supplies and services at lower cost and to get better prices for 

products they sell; (2) advises rural residents on developing existing resources through 

cooperative action to enhance rural living; (3) helps cooperatives improve services and operating 

efficiency; (4) informs members, directors, employees, and the public on how cooperatives work 

and benefit their members and their communities; and (5) encourages international cooperative 

programs. 

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its 

programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, 

political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or familial status. (Not all prohibited bases apply

program information (braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact the USDA’s TARGET 

Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD).
