Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1974, vol. 6, issue 1, 125-131

Abstract: A systematic approach to projecting supply and demand for agricultural commodities is to: (1) estimate what the demand for agricultural products will be at some date in the future, (2) estimate the capacity of United States farmers to produce that output in terms of cropland availability and projected crop yields, and then (3) distribute estimated United States production requirements to states and regions according to some historical trend or some estimate of comparative advantage. The object of this paper is to relate the expected demand for United States farm products in 1985 to the South and determine its production needs and acreage requirements.
