The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) works on a range of initiatives to promote the work of farmers markets, organic agriculture, and other aspects of farm culture and production throughout the United States. A quick glance through the materials offers visitors access to their fact sheets, local food marketing initiatives, and the Foreign Agricultural Service. This last area is particularly intriguing as visitors can find out detailed information on trade regulations, trade negotiations, trade data, foreign reports, and market development programs. The Quick Stats area provides links to U.S., state, and county agricultural statistics for many commodities and data series. Finally, the site also contains a Market News section under Reports, which features pre-made market reports on cotton, dairy, livestock, tobacco, and fruits and vegetables.
