OMAHA (DTN) -- After shaking off the shutdown hangover, agencies from the U.S. Department of Agriculture have started to detail how they are going to handle reports missed, delayed and canceled.
Starting with export data, the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has not published a weekly Export Sales report since Dec. 20, 2018. FAS has resumed daily reporting of export sales and will implement the following schedule to bring weekly reporting up to date:
-- The report for the week ending Dec. 20, 2018, will be published Thursday, Jan. 31.
-- The report for the week ending Dec. 27, 2018, will be published Feb. 7.
-- The report for the week ending Jan. 3, 2019, which will include the marketing-year changeover figures for hides and skins, wet blues, pork and beef, will be published Feb. 14.
-- A combined report for the weeks ending Jan. 10-Feb. 14 will be published on Feb. 22.
The regular reporting schedule will resume for the week ending Feb. 22.
That combination of reports for the weeks from Jan. 10-Feb. 1 carrying forward to Feb. 22 means the World Agricultural Outlook Board may be limited in the export information it has available for the Feb. 8 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE).
Additional information about the Export Sales Reporting Program is available at: https://www.fas.usda.gov/…
Along with FAS, the National Agricultural Statistics Service's (NASS) Agricultural Statistics Board has also started rescheduling reports that were affected by the shutdown. NASS was not able to collect data nor issue reports due to the lack of funding. The following reports have been rescheduled and others will be announced as soon as they are determined:
