Notable Quote
“ American agriculture leads the world and the agricultural industry relies on the gold standard statistics and analysis in USDA reports... It is a privilege to sign this critical market report... ”
Brooke L. Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture at USDA
Why This Matters
The reinstatement of the July Cattle Report and County Estimates by Secretary Rollins signifies a pivotal policy reversal with far-reaching implications for U.S. agriculture. These reports had been previously cut under the Biden-Harris Administration, sparking concerns across farming communities. By restoring them, the USDA not only reaffirms its commitment to transparency and accuracy but also strengthens the decision-making foundation for U.S. farmers and ranchers. The World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) remains a cornerstone of market intelligence, widely respected for its impartial insights and critical to forecasting global agricultural dynamics.
