      abstract = {An analysis of operations of 18 member locals and two  Midwestern regional cooperatives shows that local use of  regionals , management practices, and cooperative  competition can affect operating relationships of local and  regional cooperatives.  Findings in this report are based  on a series of personal interviews with regional managers  and managers of nine member locals of each regional.   Information contained in the report reflects cooperative  organization and structure, business and financial  operations, management policies and practices, cooperative  and other competition, and cooperative services to farmers.   The focus of efforts in the two systems was found to be in  ways to improve overall system efficiency and control.},
