Feed Grains Database. Monthly and quarterly
data on corn used for ethanol are available via custom queries. Feed
Grain yearbook tables have data on imports/exports of ethyl
alcohol and imports/exports of brewers' and distillers'
dregs and wastes (the trade categories for ethanol and
distillers' dried grains from ethanol plants). Additional
country data and earlier data than contained in the yearbook
tables can be obtained using custom queries.
Oil
Crops Yearbook Data tables. Oilseed, oilmeal, and fats/oils supply
and use statistics. Includes oilseed acreage, yield, and production estimates,
and farm and wholesale price series.
Ethanol
Co-Products Used For Livestock Feed. A survey by USDA's
National Agricultural Statistics Service of beef, dairy,
and hog producers in 12 Midwestern States to determine
current use of distillers' grains, essential feed characteristics,
and concerns keeping producers from using distillers' grains.
Commodity Costs and
Returns. Annual farm cost and return estimates for
corn, other major field crops, and livestock commodities
are available in Excel spreadsheets. These estimates
track the relative costs and returns for corn, crops competing
with corn for land, and livestock commodities that use
corn as a major feed source. The spreadsheets show
U.S. average costs and returns and those in major production
regions for each commodity.
Food
Price Outlook. Monthly and annual estimates of the
future direction of changes in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) for all food, food at home, and food away from home
are available in Excel spreadsheets. ERS analyzes the
impact of economic factors on changes in the CPI and uses
forecasting methods to project the range of possible changes
in retail food prices due to changing commodity costs.
