      abstract = {This paper examines the profitability of a balanced sample  of 58 North
Dakota farm supply and grain marketing  cooperatives over the period 2003–
2007. Our findings  reveal that increased liquidity tended to allow farm
supply  cooperatives to operate more efficiently, but reduced the  efficiency of
cooperatives which provide farm supply and  grain marketing services. These
results suggest strategies  for cooperatives during times of illiquidity and
other  credit constraints for achieving profitability objectives.},
