Abstract: Results from simulation runs of the Food and Agricultural Policy Simulator (FAPSIM) suggest that commodity price increases due to higher natural gas and fertilizer costs will be minor. Overall farm commodity prices increase just over three percent in the scenario (accelerated decontrol) with the largest natural gas price increases. Livestock and consumer prices show insignificant changes. Natural gas and fertilizer prices are changed to reflect alternative pricing policies for natural gas. These price changes are reflected by higher fertilizer prices and variable costs of production in FAPSIM. Three alternative scenarios are simulated to 1990.
