NASS to Publish Market Year Average Price for Selected Crops Earlier

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will publish the final U.S. marketing year average prices for several crops earlier in the year, to allow the Farm Service Agency to meet statutory deadlines in administering their programs.

Crops impacted and the new publication months are: Barley (June), Oats (June), Wheat (June), Canola (July), Dry Edible Peas (July), Flaxseed (July), Lentils (July), Rapeseed (July), Mustard Seed (September), Safflower (September), and Sunflower (September).

As a reminder, these estimates are published in the Agricultural Prices report that is released the last business day of each month.

All NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov/Publications.
