Agricultural Outlook (AO) ceased publication in December 2002. A new magazine, AmberWaves, replaced Agricultural Outlook, FoodReview, and Rural America in February 2003. This archive contains AO publications covering commodity markets and trade, farm policy, and other food- and agriculture-related topics. Each release includes data on individual commodities, farm income, the general economy, agricultural trade, and related issues.

Commodity and trade outlook data and information continue to be available on the ERS website. Additional commodity- or topic-specific information may be found in ERS Briefing Rooms.

This publication was produced between 1937 and 1982. Data on the supply and demand for oil seeds, including soybeans, cotton, flax, peanut and sunflowers, is charted and prices per unit are listed by line item (i.e., baking; margarine; salad oil; other edible).
