USDA Agricultural Projections to 2021 – By Paul Westcott, ERS Contact, Outlook Report No. (OCE-121) 102 pp, February 2012
“Each year, USDA makes 10-year economic projections for the food and agriculture sector. The projections reflect a set of assumptions regarding macroeconomic developments and farm policies, and cover major agricultural commodities, agricultural trade, and aggregate indicators of the U.S. farm sector, such as farm income and food prices. One key use of the projections is as a “starting point” from which to analyze the impacts of potential policy changes on U.S. agriculture.”
