Changing Idaho Feed Crop Supply and Demand—Implications

BUL1060

November 7, 2023

The number of animals in concentrated animal feeding operations has increased since the early 1990s. The upsurge has influenced the supply and demand for crops used as feed, like alfalfa hay, barley and corn. Agricultural businesses and aligned stakeholders thus need to adjust crop production and storage management accordingly. This six-page bulletin will help you do that, by not only summarizing the supply and demand changes that have occurred from 2003 to 2021, but also by describing their implications. An action-items table helps identify and prioritize what specific actions may be necessary, like market analyses, operational plan revisions and information sharing. Also, a further reading list provides helpful resources, identifying vital industry sources to deepen your understanding of the issues and to locate relevant economic data.
