Abstract

The ifs in American agriculture are many; this nation and many others are deeply concerned that the right decisions are made at the right times to supply a continuing abundance of food and fiber. What would be the effect on farm income, on food supplies and costs, on costs of government programs, on foreign aid if farmers used more land and more fertilizer, if food marketers automated more, if other countries produced more? Providing reasoned answers to such questions, based on economic analysis of the many factors involved, is the responsibility of USDA's Economic Research Service. With this issue, the Farm Index presents a series of articles on the seven divisions that make up the Economic Research Service, their goals, their work, their research findings and the contribution they make toward answering the perennial ifs in agriculture.
