NASS to Release Key Reports

While the government shutdown continues, more USDA data is being made available. The National Agricultural Statistics Service has announced release dates for key reports, including the supply-demand report and crop production report on November 14. These reports were originally scheduled for release on November 10. The milk production report that was supposed to be issued on October 22, will come out on November 10. The cattle on feed report will be released on November 21 as originally scheduled. Most of the agency is furloughed, so it’s not known how USDA will be able to compile the information.
