CHICAGO (Reuters) — Several reports that had been shelved last year due to budget constraints, including the mid-year cattle survey, are being brought back due to recent funding measures, according to a statement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday.
Following passage of its budget by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, USDA’s National Agriculture Statistics Service will reinstate the agricultural statistics previously suspended due to sequestration, USDA said.
NASS plans to implement the reinstatements for its 2014 fiscal year appropriation and is expected to announce when the data will be published. The reports include:
— July cattle report
— All catfish and trout reports
— Potato stocks reports
— Non-citrus fruit, nut and vegetable forecasts and estimates & monthly prices
— June rice stocks report
— All hops and hops stocks estimates
— Mink report
