This thesis, although dealing specifically with Oregon Agricultural
cooperatives, has significance for agricultural cooperatives on
a national basis when discussing equity financing.
The central issue is whether a patron may in effect transfer
his cooperative equity holding to another person without impairing
the total function of the cooperative? To answer...
This publication is designed to help you learn more about agricultural cooperatives or to help you think through the process of organizing and

World food markets are becoming increasingly interconnected as firms seek to sell their products not only in domestic markets but in international ones as well. Moreover, processed and high-value consumer-oriented products represent an increasing share of total agricultural exports. This growing international market may have implications for the future competitiveness...

In Oregon agricultural cooperatives perform an important part of the marketing of agricultural products and the distributing of farm supplies. The performance of these associations directly affects the financial returns of the many farmers who belong to these cooperatives. The purpose of this study is to examine capital structures of...
Marketing cooperatives that operate on a pool basis allocate net returns on the basis of the "economic value" of the raw products each member has delivered. Economic values ideally reflect the raw products' expected contributions to pool net return. In a competitive market, raw product prices would reflect these expected...
A major problem confronting farmer cooperatives merging
for the first time is the lack of valuable experience that a prior
merger would have provided. This lack of experience results in
a decision making environment of imperfect knowledge, both of
the necessary postmerger activities to be performed and the timing
of...

West Coast fruit cooperatives working together in joint-venture
trading companies may well lower the prices of their fruit for export
through economies of scale. However, present and future foreign demand
for American fruit may constrain any economies of scale that are realized
in joint-venture agreements. The major objective of this...
The foundation upon which any cooperative rests is the economic need for it as a business enterprise. The existence of such a need cannot by itself provide the basis for a thriving cooperative. Not only mus.t the need exist, but the members or the promoters must through realistic and diligent...

Investing in farmland is one of the most important decisions that
farmers face in their lifetimes. Usually, large amounts of debt are
required to purchase a substantial tract of land, thereby reducing the
farmer's liquidity position and future borrowing capacity. Fixed debt
commitments must be met by highly variable future...
