among 42 exporting and importing countries/regions on 43 fiber,
textile, and clothing product aggregates.
Farm Income provides farm income
forecasts, updated regularly, and farm income estimates, released
once a year. Forecasts are developed using an economic accounting
model that generates forecasts of value-added and farm income, plus
component accounts of cash receipts and production expenditures,
for the national farm sector. Estimates are derived from survey
data gathered by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) and other national institutions over the course of the year.
Farm Balance Sheet accounts
include assets, debt, and equity, where equity equals assets minus
debt, and are used to assess wealth in the farm sector. Both operators'
