In our never-ending quest to satisfy the agricultural community’s and general public’s thirst for information, USDA Market News is collaborating with data.gov to add custom reports to our portal websites
USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) collects and publishes a high volume of market information for five major commodity areas. With the addition of the custom reports feature, we are offering tools that will help farmers, ranchers, and businesses be able to manage, sort, and view our data in a more meaningful way. You can drill down and generate tailored historical reports that include only the data points you need and also download it in a variety of standard formats, like XML or plain text.
Over 20 years’ worth of data is available for agriculture products like dairy, cattle, hogs, beef and grains, providing insight into market trends over the last couple of decades. We also report on bio-energy products like ethanol prices and the by-products that are generated from green energy production. You can also create custom reports for pulse crops like peas, beans and lentils.
A relatively new report highlights retail pricing provides additional insight for commodity stakeholders and trend-watchers, and it is being actively searched by site visitors.
Stop by the Customs Report site and give it a test drive. To get the most out of the new features, try using our tutorial before you start.
