Current Projects
Texas Renewable Energy Handbook - a guide for entities considering production of ethanol, biodiesel, biogas, wind power, or solar power. Issues discussed include resource availability, technology, financing, infrastructure, marketing, and government policy. Contact: Joe Outlaw
 
Sorghum and Feedgrains - This initiative is geared to perform timely policy and economic analysis of current issues in the sorghum and feedgrains sector. Critical issues such as alternative and renewable energy, Farm Bill, production, marketing, and trade will be analyzed to support the sorghum and feedgrains industry. Contact: George Knapek
 
Representative Farms - The AFPC maintains a database of agricultural operations representing the major agricultural production regions of the country. These operations are used in policy research analysis. The representative farms are updated every two years using face to face panel interviews. Types of operations include cotton, rice, feed grain, and wheat farms, cattle ranches, and dairies. Contact: George Knapek
