Summary and Implications for Next Farm Bill: 

Summary and Implications for Next Farm Bill Modest market strength Unlike the 1996 Farm Bill, the outlook suggest that the market does not provide adequate one-to-one cover for any change towards lower support. On the other hand, it has better market cover than the case in 2002. World market integration and stiffer competition from South America. Competition may soften market prices (especially in soybeans and cotton) and may have implications on demand for maintaining or increasing support. Provisions that have direct implications on competitiveness will be given consideration and closer scrutiny (MCOOL).

Summary and Implications for Next Farm Bill: 

Summary and Implications for Next Farm Bill SPS issues may continue. Market growth potential are in the meat and dairy sectors, but the same sectors are also most vulnerable to SPS shocks. Comprehensive response to SPS challenge and its relation to competitiveness will resonate loudly in the next farm bill. Animal ID and traceability will gain increasing significance especially that competing countries have given these initiatives both policy and budgetary importance. New product, demand, and structure issues may emerge Advances in biotechnology may continue to have impacts on productivity, cost, and prices. Advances in information technology may allow cost effective product segregation and identity preservation (SIP). These changes may have implications on structure and product diversity and price discovery for general applicability of policies
