It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
This case study investigated operations of cooperative federations in marketing milk in the Chicago regional federal order market in the early and mid-1970s. The Associated M ilk Producers Incorporated (AMPI) Agency qualified supply plants of participating firms, provided supplemental milk to processors, and marketed their surplus milk. Central Milk Producers Cooperative (CMPC) negotiated a superpool price for class I milk, advance priced some class II and III milk, levied handling charges, and implemented a variety of marketing programs. Economic consequences of these activities are evaluated.
