agricultural baseline projections:
u.s. livestock, 2003-2012

Livestock sector projections initially reflect adjustments to relatively low net returns in 2002, brought on by another drought year and increased production levels that reduced meat animal prices, coupled with higher grain prices. Total meat production falls in 2003 in the baseline, assuming normal moisture conditions, and net returns improve as meat animal prices increase and grain prices decline. In the longer run, rising farm-level livestock prices for meat animals, efficiency gains which help contain production costs, and only moderate increases in feed prices support producer returns and encourage growth in total meat production. U.S. poultry use gains a larger proportion of total meat consumption. Meat exports benefit from a rebound in foreign economic growth.
