Book excerpt: Excerpt from Directory of Federal-State Market News Reports The Agricultural Marketing Service of the u.s. Department of Agriculture cooperates with many of the State Departments of Agriculture in gathering and distributing market news reports on supply, demand, prices, and movement of agricultural products. Through a nationwide network of 135 field offices, trading is reported at major terminal markets as well as in important production and shipping areas. For rapid exchange of information, most of the market news offices are connected by a network of approximately miles of leased teletypewriter lines. Market reports are issued on all major farm commodities, including cotton, cottonseed, cotton linters, dairy and poultry products, fruits and vegetables, peanuts, pecans, honey, grain and related products, feed molasses, livestock, meats, wool, tobacco, and naval stores. Reports are prepared in the field offices under the direction of the ams commodity divisions in Washington. Most field offices cover only the products assigned to the Division of which they are a part. They report largely on the commodities in their own markets, although they may include a brief summary describing trading conditions, prices, and trends at a few other markets that are significant to those patronizing the local market. More than radio stations and 160 television stations broadcast market news regularly. Market news also reaches the public by newspapers, farm and trade papers, telephone, telegraph, and by direct mail. The pages that follow list the federal-state market news reports and the issuing offices for them. The reports are sent free on request, when they are available by mail. If you wish to see sample copies of any of the reports, or if you wish to be added to the mailing list to receive copies regularly, address your request to the office issuing the report. Or you may address your request to the appropriate commodity division (from the list below) of the Agricultural Marketing Service, u.s. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.
