Book Description
Excerpt from Cooperative Involvement in Grain Marketing In 1975, Farmer Cooperative Service, now Agricultural Cooperative Service (acs), made a comprehensive study of the export potential of grain cooperatives. This was the beginning of a period of steadily increasing u.s. Grain exports that continued through the seventies. During 1975 to 1982, grain cooperatives and the grain industry in general operated in a period characterized by an expansion of export demand and domestic production; grain embargoes; domestic transportation shortages and crises followed by surpluses; and Government regulations dealing with air pollution, elevator safety, grain inspection, and transportation. During this period, some local grain cooperatives either closed or merged with others for reasons that include rail abandonment or reduced rail service. The unit-train movement of grain to export ports increased in response to lower rail transportation rates. Cooperatives expanded their elevator facilities and transportation equipment to handle the increasing grain volumes. Cooperatives exporting grain wrestled with the effects of export embargoes and rising inspection costs. Net savings from grain operations were erratic, as some grain regionals prospered while others suffered setbacks. Acs, through its contacts with grain cooperatives and those working with grain cooperatives, received strong signals that there was a need to reevaluate the total cooperative grain marketing system, with emphasis on looking to the future. This task was undertaken by an acs study team that contacted officials of grain cooperatives, cooperative educators, extension specialists, banks for cooperatives, and others to determine their views on the status, progress, problems, and future of grain cooperatives. The team reviewed recent studies by other researchers, and analyzed and evaluated available primary and secondary information relating to grain cooperatives. The team did not find firm solutions to the problems and concerns shared by grain cooperatives, but the report does pull together a body of relevant information, presents alternatives, and offers suggestions. The report should be useful to cooperative directors, managers, banks financing cooperatives, and others who work with and for grain cooperatives.

Book Description
Grain Marketing explores the basic principles and concepts of grain marketing and analyzes the futures and options markets, agricultural policy, grain pricing, and grain marketing structures in the United States, Canada, and the European Community. This text helps students understand the world grain system, trains them to use futures and options, and explains how grain is marketed locally and internationally. The world grain industry affects our daily lives in ways both large and small. It influences what we consume for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and provides at least 40 percent of the world’s food supply. The U.S. and world grain industry affects our income, our investments, and global politics. As world population and therefore global demand for grain grows, the volume handled by the U.S. grain industry will continue to expand, demanding not only improvement in crop yields but also continued efforts to compete in increasingly sophisticated international markets. This newly revised, fully updated text provides a practical, comprehensive overview of grain marketing that is useful to both the upper-level undergraduate studying agricultural marketing and the professional working in the industry. Grain Marketing blends several approaches to the study of commodity marketing, combining the institutional, functional, market structure, and analytical and behavioral systems approach to grain marketing. The book includes basic background information for newcomers to the subject of agricultural marketing as well as more rigorous treatment of advanced subjects. The books overall plan allows the student to follow the movement of the major grains, corn, wheat, and soybeans from farm production to final consumption. Along the way, it provides a detailed description of the worldwide system, encompassing local and multinational corporations, state agencies and boards, national trade and agricultural policies, and the cash and futures markets that serve this industry.
