This archived report does not contain recent information or data and was last published April 1999. Included in this report are annual models for U.S. farm prices for corn and wheat, based on market factors as well as government agricultural commodity programs. The pricing relationships utilize a stocks-to-use modeling framework to capture the effects of market supply and demand factors on price determination. This formulation is augmented by factors that represent the changing role of agricultural policies, particularly government price support and stockholding programs.
