Research on Objective Forecasts of Filbert Production

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1956, vol. 08, issue 3, 3

Abstract: Fruit and nut production in Oregon and other important producing areas is highly commercialized. Sales of many of these commodities are controlled by Federal marketing agreements to provide for orderly marketing of each year's crop. Officers of grower and processor organizations who are charged with the administration of the programs need accurate early-season forecasts of prospective production and quality of the product. Monthly production forecasts are published during the growing season by the Crop Reporting Service as part of the overall crop and livestock estimating program. However, the complexity of marketing problems faced by producers and their organizations has built up pressures for more detail and greater precision in such forecasts. This paper reports on a study being made on filberts in Oregon; the approach to the problem is typical of the approach now under study in several areas.
