DatelinERS
    Newsletter

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    The DatelinERS newsletter offers concise summaries of ERS reports
    and events with links to areas within our website. You can find
    it in our newsroom at www.ers.usda.gov/News/.

    
Livestock,
    Dairy, and Poultry Outlook

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    Timely livestock, dairy, and poultry information, focusing on
    current and forecast production, price, and trade statistics
    for each of the sectors.

    
Meat
    Price Spreads

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    This data set provides monthly average price values, and the
    differences among those values, at the farm, wholesale, and retail
    stages of the production and marketing chain for selected cuts
    of beef, pork, and broilers. In addition, retail prices are provided
    for beef and pork cuts, turkey, whole chickens, eggs, and dairy
    products.

    
Economic
    Linkages Between the WIC Program and the Farm Sector

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    In fiscal 2008, the $4.6 billion of food purchased with vouchers
    from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants,
    and Children (WIC) generated $1.3 billion in farm revenue. Because
    WIC participants would have purchased some of these foods with
    their own money in the absence of the program, the net addition
    to farm revenue from WIC is estimated at $331 million and the
    net increase in full-time-equivalent farm jobs at 2,640. The
    study uses an Input-Output Multiplier Model to derive these estimates
    and assumes that recent revisions in the WIC food packages were
    implemented in all States in fiscal 2008.

    
Oil
    Crops Yearbook Data tables

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    Oilseed, oilmeal, and fats and oils supply and use statistics.
    Includes oilseed acreage, yield, and production estimates and
    farm and wholesale price series.
 

    
Supermarket
    Loss Estimates for Fresh Fruit, Vegetables, Meat, Poultry, and
    Seafood and Their Use in the ERS Loss-Adjusted Food Availability
    Data

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    This study analyzed updated food loss estimates for fresh fruit,
    vegetables, meat, poultry, and seafood obtained through a competitive
    grant with the Perishables Group, Inc. The new estimates were
    obtained for use in the ERS Loss-Adjusted Food Availability data.
    They had little impact on per capita food loss estimates because
    the new estimates are generally close to the current loss assumptions.
    The new estimates would increase annual per capita estimates
    at the retail level by 0.7 pounds (0.6 percent) for fresh fruit,
    4.2 pounds (2.7 percent) for fresh vegetables, and 4.8 pounds
    (2.7 percent) for fresh meat, poultry, and seafood.

    
Exploring
    Alternative Farm Definitions: Implications for Agricultural Statistics
    and Program Eligibility

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    Meeting agricultural policy and statistical goals requires a
    definition of U.S. agriculture’s basic unit, the farm. However,
    these goals can be at odds with one another. USDA defines “farm”
    very broadly to comprehensively measure agricultural activity.
    Consequently, most establishments classified as farms in the
    United States produce very little, while most production occurs
    on a small number of much larger operations. While desirable
    for obtaining comprehensive national coverage, measurement and
    analysis based on the current definition can provide misleading
    characterizations of farms and farm structure in the United States.
    Additionally, more stringent requirements have been proposed
    for farms to qualify for Federal agricultural program benefits.
    This analysis outlines the structure of U.S. farms, discusses
    the current farm definition, evaluates several potential criteria
    that have been proposed to define target farms more precisely,
    and examines how these criteria affect both statistical coverage
    and program eligibility.

    
Feed
    Grains Database

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New

    (corn, grain sorghum, barley, and oats), foreign coarse grains
    (feed grains plus rye, millet, and mixed grains), hay, and related
    items. Tables previously published annually in the Feed Yearbook
    are available and updated continuously as data are added to the
    database. Custom queries also allow users to retrieve historical
    data.

    
Wheat
    Data

    
from USDA Economic Research Service - What's
    New 

    This data product contains statistics on wheat - including the
    five classes of wheat: hard red winter, hard red spring, soft
    red winter, white, and durum - and rye. Includes data published
    in the monthly Wheat Outlook and previously annual Wheat Yearbook.
    Data are monthly, quarterly, and/or annual depending upon the
    data series.
