This publication covered the general trends in agriculture, developments in rural life, natural resources farm finances, and many related topics of interest to farmers and their families. This monthly publication replaced both Agricultural Situation and the Farm Index and was published from 1980 to 1993.

This publication was published between 1986 and 1993 and includes data on the outlook and impact of land values, the number of farmland transfers during a given time and the average cash rents paid for farm properties. Data contained in the report are based on estimates provided by a sample of farmers throughout the U.S. and information obtained from real estate brokers, county officials, and bank lenders. Information on fertilizer and pesticide use, energy use, machinery uptake and tillage systems are also included.

This dataset is grouped into four sections: eggs, broilers (young
chickens), other chicken (mature or non-broiler chickens), and turkeys. Within
each section, the data are divided into indicators of production, supply and
disappearance, and prices and costs.

Also included are estimates of production, exports, shipments and consumption, prices paid and received, and costs of production.

This dataset contains the annual U.S. national and state data for area, production, cost, price, and value of fresh and processed sweet corn. Additional statistics include monthly domestic shipping data as well as U.S. imports and exports from selected countries and global area, production and trade.

Dataset updated June 2010.
