Regional Agricultural Production: 1985 and Beyond

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The four articles in this reprint summarize ERS projections of principal agricultural commodity production for the U.S. as a whole, the Northeast, the South, the North Central region, and the West. The projections are "demand" estimates based on expected population, per capita consumption, income, and net export levels. They indicate how much of each commodity will be needed to support expected demand and where these commodities might be produced. After total commodity requirements were determined, production was estimated by States and regions based on their historical shares of U.S. production, and adjusted for changes in projected cropland availability and productivity.
