Item Accounts Receivable Credit in Minnesota Farm Supply Cooperatives(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1955-05) Knudtson, Arvid C.; Koller, E. FredTHE RECENT rapid increase in use of accounts receivable credit is causing a serious problem for Minnesota farm supply cooperatives. Cooperative leaders are concerned with this trend as past experience shows that slow collections, heavy credit losses, and financial difficulties may easily result.Item Accounts Receivable Credit in Minnesota Farm Supply Cooperatives(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1955-05) Knudtson, Arvid C.; Koller, E.

Fred; Miller, Arthur H.Item Changing Market Structure of the Minnesota Dairy Manufacturing Industry(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1969) Gruebela, James W.; Koller, E. FredThe Minnesota dairy manufacturing industry has undergone many major organizational and operational changes in the last 25 years. One major change has been the shift toward fewer and larger plants. The number of plants manui:tcturing dairy products in Minnesota declined from 938 plants in 1938 to 36'1- plants in 1963, a 62 percent decrease. There also was a trend toward larger plant size. In 1938, 43.2 percent of the specialized butter plants received less than 200,000 pounds of butterfat and in 1963 only 11.2 percent of the plants received less than that amount. There were major technological changes in the Minnesota dairy manufacturing industry. These include clean-in-place systems, shift from can to bulk hauling, high-temperature-short-time pasteurization, and, recently, the continuous churn. Improved roads and trucks also are important developments. The development and adoption of new technology plays a major role in influencing the shift toward increased concentration in the state's dairy manufacturing industry.Item The Cost of Capital in Minnesota Dairy Cooperatives(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1971) Snider, Thomas E.; Koller, E.

D.; Koller, E. FredItem Costs of Drying Milk in Minnesota Plants(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1952-05) Butz, Dale E.; Koller, E. FredDAIRYING is one of the major sources of farm income in Minnesota. Prior to World War II, most of this income was realized on the sale of farm-separated cream to the local creameries. During the war there was a very rapid shift from the delivery of farm-separa~ed cream to the delivery of whole milk to the dairy plants. This shift had already started prior to the war, but was greatly accelerated by the relatively favorable prices paid for nonfat milk solids.Item Costs of Drying Milk in Minnesota Plants(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1952-05) Butz, Dale E.; Koller, E.

Fred; Shelley, Oren R.Item Economic analysis of farm-to-plant milk assembly.(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975) Nolte, G.M.; Koller, E. FredFarm-to-dairy milk assembly in Minnesota has been undergoing major changes. The numbers of dairy farms and dairy plants have declined sharply, necessitating changing patterns of milk assembly. There has been a large shift from cans to bulk. Similarly, there has been a steady change from Grade B milk to Grade A milk (the two grades require separate handling and hauling). Milk trucks and milk hauling technology have changed. Costs of motor fuels and all other -trucking expenses have increased dramatically. These and other changes have had major effects on costs of milk hauling. More than ever, dairy farmers are concerned how assembly costs can be minimized. 36 pages.Item Interplant Milk Transportation Costs(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1963) Thompson, Russel G.; Koller, E. FredDURING THE LAST 20 YEARS numerous technological changes and government farm programs resulted in major changes in Minnesota's dairy industry. New types of equipment and improved techniques significantly affected the costs of producing, transporting, and processing milk. Relatively stable and favorable prices for nonfat dry milk stimulated farm sales of whole milk and the development of a dry milk industry.Item Loans of Production Credit Associations to Minnesota Farmers(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1952-03) Berg, Sherwood O.; Koller, E. Fred; Jesness, O.B.Item Loans of Production Credit Associations to Minnesota Farmers(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1951) Berg, Sherwood O.; Koller, E. Fred; Jesness, O. B.THE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL required to operate a farm has increased greatly in the last half century. This has been especially true in recent years with rapid and far-reaching changes in technology and mechanization. Farmers today have large investments in power-driven machinery, improved livestock, and other equipment. Seeds, feeds, sprays, and fertilizers require additional operating capital. While these improvements increase returns, the outlays they involve often have to be made long before returns are realized.Item Manufacturing Costs in Minnesota Creameries(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957) Knudtson, Arvid C.; Koller, E. FredItem Milk assembly and Processing Costs in the Butter-Dry Milk Industry.(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1972) Nolte, G.M.; Koller, E. FredThis study was designed to provide cost information which would be useful in planning for adjustments to new technology and changing plant size in the butternonfat dry milk industry. It provides partial answers to the following questions: (1) What type of processing plants are economically most efficient? (2) What type of bulk milk assembly is most efficient? and (3) How large should a dairy plant be to assure economic deficiency, considering both milk assembly and processing? 31 pages.

B.DAIRY cooperative managers, directors, and members are faced with problems of organization, finance, and operation. While significant progress has been made in dealing with these problems, there still can be improvement. In this analysis of some of the special problems encountered by dairy cooperatives, special attention is given to factors affecting operational and financial success or failure.
