Description
Summary:The Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M University develops and maintains data to simulate 98 representative crop, dairy, and livestock operations in major production areas in 28 states. The chief purpose of this analysis is to project those farms' economic viability by region and commodity for 2009 through 2015. The data necessary to simulate the economic activity of these operations is developed through ongoing cooperation with panels of agricultural producers in selected states. The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) provided projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates in their December 2009 Baseline.
