Excerpts from the report: A "regional association" in this report refers to one that wholesales supplies to local retail cooperatives, or one that directly retails supplies to farmers over an area comprising a part of a State, an entire State, or several States. In either case, the regional may manufacture some of the supplies it distributes. "Farm supplies" as used in this report include feed, seed, fertilizer, petroleum, and all other types of supplies and equipment used in farm production. Part I of this Handbook gives detailed information on each of 21 major regional cooperatives handling farm production supplies in the United States for their fiscal years ended in 1958 and 1959. Part II contains the value of farm production supply business and net margins on these operations by three predominantly regional marketing cooperatives. Part III consolidates information on the two groups of associations for 1958 and 1959.
