SUMMARY
A large expansion in ethanol
production is underway in the United States. Cellulosic sources
of feedstocks for ethanol production hold some promise for the
future, but the primary feedstock in the United States currently
is corn. Market adjustments to this increased demand extend well
beyond the corn sector to supply and demand for other crops,
such as soybeans and cotton, as well as to U.S. livestock
industries. USDA’s long-term projections, augmented by farmers’
planting intentions for 2007, are used to illustrate anticipated
changes in the agricultural sector.
