Abstract: This report complements the USDA Agricultural Projections to 2027 report released in February 2018 by providing a roadmap of the process for generating the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s long-term projections. In particular, the report explains the expectations of the main drivers of the major crop markets, including corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, rice, and sugar. The primary interactions between these crop markets are explored to provide a deeper understanding of the long-term projections. By outlining the assumptions and reasoning behind these projections, the report enables inferences on how the projections might change under varying circumstances.
