The Council on Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics (C-FARE) has published a report entitled “Advancing US Agricultural Competitiveness with Big Data and Agricultural Economic Market Information, Analysis, and Research”. The senior author of the report is Dr. Keith Coble, the recently appointed Head of MSU’s Agricultural Economics Dept.

Hopefully, these resources will continue to build a knowledge base that can be used by producers as they evolve into the use of new data technology to provide advancements in farm management.
