Abstract

This report provides background information for addressing the policy issues facing the U.S. feed grain industry as Congress debates the provisions for new farm legislation. An examination of this sector, along with a description of the international feed grain market, provides a backdrop for discussion of the relevant policy issues. A description of the major features of current government policy is also provided. We conclude with a discussion of the different types of farm policies that have been proposed. The United States produces a variety of feed grains, but corn dominates production. Because of this, the focus here is primarily on corn. Although there are important issues unique for each of the different feed grains, the overall program structure and most of the policy proposals are the same for all of the commodities. Therefore, much of the corn discussion provided below is relevant to the overall feed grain complex.
