Goals / Objectives
The ERS Field Crops program conducts research and provides data for grains, oilseeds, and fibers. This program addresses both domestic and international supply, demand, and prices; and factors that impact performance of field crop markets. A focus is understanding complex economic relationships and their interaction with public policy, anticipating issues and providing valuable insights on field crop markets to policymakers and others. Data and information is provided for a broad spectrum of current issues, ranging from domestic and trade policy to biotechnology and bio-fuels. Results explain and project changing market fundamentals to the public, government agencies, and the agribusiness industry. Wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, and fiber outlook programs have been tasked with informing policymakers and the general public about the economics of those markets since the 1920s. ERS is a key USDA participant in the Interagency Commodity Estimates Committees (ICECs), chaired by USDA World Agricultural Outlook Board analysts, that compile and interpret information from USDA and other domestic and foreign official sources to produce the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE). WASDE includes forecasts for U.S. and world wheat, rice, and coarse grains (corn, barley, sorghum, and oats), oilseeds (soybeans, rapeseed, palm), and cotton.

Project Methods
Analysis of field crop markets draws on multiple methods, including descriptive analysis, statistical comparisons, and econometrics to monitor and analyze important developments. Included are five types of activities: - Data and monitoring: The data requirements are extensive to generate supply and demand balances. Research often requires development and analysis of unique data sets and creative techniques to quantify and analyze market and policy variables for which public data do not exist or is not commonly available. - Exploratory and descriptive analysis, and synthesis: Estimating, explaining, and reporting trends and synthesizing research findings in plain language - Economic modeling and econometric analysis: Conducting rigorous peer-reviewed studies on policy-relevant issues - Extramural research: Sponsoring and collaborating with the academic community to conduct price analysis and forecasting research to leverage mutual strengths and build capacity in areas of interest to the USDA - Communication and dissemination: Communicating customer-focused research findings in plain language and conducting outreach and research coordination meetings and workshops with stakeholders

Outputs
This project anticipates trends and emerging issues by conducting high-quality, objective economic research as part of the USDA ERS mission to inform and enhance public and private decision making on economic and policy issues related to food, farming, natural resources and rural America. Findings and impacts are represented through a variety of outputs including reports, journal articles, briefings, and conference presentations. ERS shapes its research program and products to serve those who routinely make or influence public policy and program decisions. Key clientele include White House and USDA policy officials; the U.S. Congress; program administrators/managers; other Federal agencies; State and local government officials; and organizations, including farm and industry groups interested in public policy issues. Current listings of ERS published reports and data products, and journal articles by ERS researchers, can be found at www.ers.usda.gov
