Rural Business-Cooperative Service 

Title: Annual Survey of Farmer 

Cooperatives. 

OMB Control Number: 0570–0007. 

Summary of Collection: The Rural 

Business Cooperative Service (RBS) was 

mandated the responsibility to acquire 

and disseminate information pertaining 

to agricultural cooperatives under the 

Cooperative Marketing Act of 1926: 7 

U.S.C. 451–457 and Public Law 450. 

The primary objective of RBS is to 

promote understanding, use and 

development of the cooperative form of 

business as a viable option for 

enhancing the income of agricultural 

producers and other rural residents. The 

annual survey collects basic statistics on 

cooperative business volume, net 

income, members, financial status, 

employees, and other selected 

information to support RBS’ objective 

and role. RBS will use a variety of forms 

to collect information. 

Need and Use of the Information: RBS 

uses the annual survey of farmer 

cooperatives to collect basic statistics on 

cooperative business volume, net 

income, members, financial status, 

employees, and other selected 

information to support RBCS’ objective 

and role. Cooperative statistics are 

published in an annual report and other 

formats for use by the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, cooperative management 

and members, educators and 

researchers, other Federal agencies, 

cooperative trade associations, general 

agribusiness, cooperative development 

practitioners, students, teachers, 

consultants, and many others. By not 

collecting this information, the RBS 

would have difficulties in carrying out 

its policy on farmer cooperatives. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 1,037. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 792.
