Report To The Secretary Of Agriculture












Agricultural Economics Research And

Analysis Needs Mission Clarification




A systematic and well organized program of
agricultural economics research is needed to
monitor and assess the health of the food-
agriculture sector and the effectiveness of
farm policies and programs However, within
the agricultural community there is disagree-
ment on the roles of the U S Department of
Agriculture s Economic Research Service and
the land-grant institutions departments of
agricultural economics The emphasis of the
Service s work has changed from farm manage-
ment studies to broad agricultural issues, and
its mission is not clear During the past few
years the Service has performed socioeconomic
research,which GAO believes is questionable
from a subject matter perspective, while other
priority research and analysis needs have not
been given adequate attention Little has been
done to plan for, prioritize, and coordinate
agricultural economics research and analysis
GAO makes appropriate recommendations
