摘要

The U.S. Department of Agriculture held its first Agricultural Outlook Forum onFebruary 22 and 23, 1995. The Forum was the seventy-first outlook meeting sponsored by USDA. While maintaining the traditional focus on the near-term outlook for agriculture and farm commodities, the Forum inaugurated several important changes. A new emphasis was placed on the long-term horizon for the farm sector, which is well reflected in the speeches.
