1. 325-905Agriculture325 Investments—Other

   ASC 325-905 governs how agricultural cooperatives account for investments in other cooperatives and how patrons (members) account for their investments in a cooperative. The core rule is that these nonmarketable long-term investments are carried at cost — including allocated equities and per-unit retains recorded at face value — rather than as equity securities, with the equity method of ASC 323-10 applied only in the infrequent case where the investor's share of the investee cooperative's unallocated retained earnings is material. Carrying amounts must be written down when the patron cannot recover full carrying value, and undistributed retains are classified as noncurrent.
