The Economic Research Service (ERS) is a department within the U.S. Department of Agriculture that conducts research and analysis on various topics related to agriculture, food, and rural economies. They provide valuable information and data on animal products, crops, farm practices, food safety, international markets, and more. With a focus on providing accurate and reliable information, the ERS plays a crucial role in informing policymakers, farmers, and the general public about the state of the agricultural industry and its impact on the economy.
Through their publications, data products, and research reports, the ERS offers insights into the characteristics of farms operated by socially disadvantaged, women, and limited resource farmers, as well as forecasts on farm income and financial trends. They also provide information on bioenergy statistics, rice production costs, controlled environment agriculture, and federal programs for agricultural risk management. With their extensive collection of charts, maps, and data visualizations, the ERS aims to enhance understanding and decision-making in the agricultural sector.
