Research, Education, and Economics Information System (REEIS)

The Research, Education, and Economics Information System (REEIS) is a source of information on the research, education and extension programs, projects and activities of the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), the USDA Forest Service, the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office, U. S. Census Bureau, and the U. S. National Science Foundation. The system enables users to measure the impact and effectiveness of research, extension and education programs based on data related to agricultural research; forestry research; students, faculty and degrees related to agriculture; USDA partner institution snapshots; Food and nutrition research; 4-H programs; and agricultural snapshots of each state. Internet links to related agencies, institutions, and data bases are also included.

Livestock and Meat Marketing Study

GIPSA Livestock and Meat Marketing Study Final Reports (February 2007).
In fiscal year 2003, GIPSA received $4.5 million in appropriations to study marketing practices in the whole livestock and red meat industry.  In June 2004, at the end of a competitive bidding process, GIPSA awarded a $4.3 million contract to the RTI International (RTI) to conduct the study. RTI delivered an interim report in July 2005.  The interim report described alternative marketing arrangements (AMAs), common terms in AMAs, and why industry participants used them. In February 2007, GIPSA released the final report.  The final report included results from RTI’s analysis of the extent of use, price relationships, and costs and benefits of AMAs.

FSA District Director Boundaries

The FSA district boundaries are internal administrative collections of counties that are established at the state level. FSA does not have a formal national geospatial layer for District Directors’ district boundaries.  The Deputy Administrator for Field Operations (DAFO) has been working with the states to update/adjust the number of districts in each state. DAFO manages these boundaries and they change as office closures and resource changes occur. Such a layer could be created, but the updated information must be received before a boundary file can be created. If a geographic boundary file were to be created, FSA would have to organize a regular cycle when DAFO provides updated information as changes occur, establish a process for creating that geospatial boundary layer, and determine where and how FSA would host this and make it accessible for the future.  With the exception of NAIP imagery, none of the other geospatial layers are publicly releasable data. Under these circumstances, FSA  has information that routinely changes and does not have the resources to provide this geospatial data at this time.  Such spatial data would be primarily useful for FSA internal administrative use.

Farm Operating Loans (Direct and Guaranteed)

"The Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers farm operating loans to farmers who are temporarily unable to obtain private, commercial credit at reasonable rates and terms. Operating loans are used to purchase items such as livestock and feed, machinery and equipment, fuel, farm chemicals, and insurance; pay family living expenses and general farm operating expenses; and make minor improvements or repairs to buildings and fencing.

Both guaranteed loans and direct loans are available through this program. FSA guaranteed loans provide lenders (e.g., banks, Farm Credit System institutions, credit unions) with a guarantee of up to 95 percent of the loss of principal and interest on a loan. The maximum FSA guaranteed operating loan is $1,302,000 (adjusted annually based on inflation).

Applicants unable to qualify for a guaranteed loan may be eligible for a direct loan from FSA. Direct loans are made and serviced by FSA officials, who also provide borrowers with supervision and credit counseling. The maximum amount for a direct farm operating loan is $300,000.

FSA also provides Microloans, which are direct operating loans designed to meet the unique financial operating needs of many socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers, niche farm operations, the smallest of family farm operations, and those serving local and regional food markets, including urban farmers. The maximum loan amount for a Microloan is $35,000.

The repayment terms vary according to the type of loan made, collateral securing the loan, and the applicant's ability to repay. Term operating loans are normally repaid within 7 years and annual operating loans are generally repaid within 12 months or when the commodities produced are sold."
