The energy impact on U.S. agriculture is evident in spring prices for fertilizer and fuel, and in some areas, tighter supplies have slowed the pace of land preperation a bit for Missouri farmers.

This report compares fertilizer and fuel prices for this spring to comparative prices for the past four years for major field crops. In addition, it provides insight into the outlook for this summer and into the prices paid index from the FAPRI's 2006 Baseline.

As producers begin to review their balance sheets after harvest, many will find the squeeze of not only lower commodity prices, but substantially higher costs. This fall outlook summarizes costs for 2005 and provides insight into anticipated costs for 2006.

FAPRI analysis indicates that increased ethanol production resulting from the Energy Policy Act of 2005 will have important effects on markets for corn and other crops, government farm program costs, and net farm income.

This study examines US demand for ethanol produced in the Midwest and assesses how state policies that target ethanol demand affect biofuel and agricultural commodity markets.

This report presents a summary of ten year baseline projections for U.S. agricultural markets, farm program spending, farm income, and the wide ranging implications of the growth in biofuel production.

This report examines selected provisions of Title I of the “Food and Energy Security Act of 2007,” as approved by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
