Fundamental to the long-term viability of an agricultural producer is the ability to manage an efficient and profitable operation. USDA activities make this possible through programs that develop and transfer to producers the technology, production practices, and business and marketing tools and information that are the center pieces for an efficient and economically sustainable agricultural sector. To support an efficient marketing environment, efforts are directed toward providing the necessary infrastructure and market information to reduce per unit and overall production costs; improve quality and yields, and improve management and marketing decisions.
