Article Abstract:
Farm Chemicals magazine's survey of 100 dealerships and cooperatives consists of a group of firms serving US farmers that collectively generated over $12.6 billion in input sales from 3,613 areas in 1999. Most of the survey participants are ebullient about the prospects of their companies in 2000 and thereafter. The study also found that consolidation is still prevalent in the retail level of the agricultural product market.
