In all, 59 percent of the US$ 319 billion in generated revenues of cooperatives are from those ag-focused co-ops: US$187.6bln.
According to thedailyscoop.com, NCB estimates one in three Americans are a member of a co-op, and NCB provides comprehensive banking products and services to cooperatives and other member-owned organisations in the U.S.
