Studies In The Marketing Of Farm Products PDF Download

Excerpt from Studies in the Marketing of Farm Products The Division of Research in Agricultural Economics has devoted its energies largely to studies of marketing and farmers' organizations. The results of a statistical study of organizations have been published as Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin No. 146, entitled Statistics of Cooperation among Farmers in Minnesota. The group of studies contained in the present publication represents primarily the results of research work that has been done in the general field of marketing. The papers by Messrs. Jesness, Warner, and Thompson were written under my supervision in the Seminar in Agricultural Economics during the year 1913-1914; the paper by Mr. Peterson was written as part of the work required in the general undergraduate course in Agricultural Economics. Mr. Jesness and Mr. Warner were graduate students, and Mr. Thompson and Mr. Peterson were seniors in the College of Agriculture. The paper by Mr. Cavert was written under the supervision of Professor C. W. Thompson during the year 1912-1913, and the time of writing this report should be taken into consideration in reading it. All of these men had their major work in other divisions of the College of Agriculture, and hence could not spend as much time on marketing investigations as a full treatment of their subjects would require. All of the papers, however, represent original research work, and although not by any means complete studies of the topics treated, it is deemed that they contain enough new and valuable information in an important and neglected field, to make their publication worth while. The paper entitled Market Distribution was read before the American Economic Association at Princeton, N. J., in December, 1914, and is published in the Papers and Proceedings of that association.
