The zip files below contain the most recent and previous USDA Agricultural Projection reports, along with accompanying tables in excel format. These files contain the full report with long-term supply, use, and price projections (currently to 2030) for major U.S. crops and livestock products, as well as trade tables for the major commodity exporters and importers. They also include supporting U.S. and international macroeconomic assumptions and other farm sector indicators such as farm income projections. The full report and tables are released each year in mid-February based on data available as of the prior year’s October World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. After that October WASDE release, a sub set of tables for the next year’s projections are released in early November. These “early release” tables now contain new macroeconomic assumptions, and U.S. projections for each commodity to 2030.
