It helps Missouri stakeholders, including farmers, ranchers, and consumers, make informed decisions when marketing and finding prices for farm products Agricultural products include two categories: Animal-origin products and plant-origin products Prices indicate the average weekly value of each product The bulletin offers prices for selected crops and livestock products. When data is available, the publication reports beef-livestock market prices paid at live auctions in five regions of Missouri (Southwest, Northeast, Central Region, Southeast, and Northwest). In addition, other livestock market prices, such as sheep, goats, pork, whole milk, and eggs, are also reported. All information and discussion in this bulletin are the responsibility of the authors.

SPECIALTY CROPS MARKETS
The bulletin shows market prices of selected crops that consumers demand all year round The publication compares weekly trends of specialty crop prices of conventional and organic production systems. Consistently, products from organic production systems offer a higher value market when compared with conventionally grown products; however, product price volatility observes different product trends in both production systems. Market price reports vary weekly; some of our source reports might be inconsistent with weekly product prices. If a product has no price, our source didn't report a price that week. Red numbers imply that prices dropped from the previous week, while green numbers indicate a positive trend change compared with last week's prices.
