Note: As of May 2025, the Feed Grains Custom Query application and the associated CSV file will not be updated. Users are advised to download and use the Feed Grains Yearbook Tables – Recent for the latest data. The Feed Grains Yearbook Data Tables – All Years Excel file will be replaced with a Feed Grains Yearbook Tables – Historical file. The Feed Grains Yearbook Tables – Recent file will be published at 2 p.m. ET on the second business day after the release of the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. A machine-readable version of the Feed Grains Yearbook Tables - Recent file is currently under development and will be published at a later date.
The Feed Grains Database is a statistical compilation of four feed grains (corn, grain sorghum, barley, and oats), foreign coarse grains (feed grains plus rye, millet, and mixed grains), hay, and related items. These statistics include data published in the monthly Feed Outlook and Feed Grains Yearbook tables. Data are displayed as monthly, quarterly, and/or annual depending upon the data series.
The key purpose of the Feed Grain Database is to provide a variety of current and historical time-series feed grain data, some of which cannot be found elsewhere, to the public in a user-friendly form. Available data include but are not limited to:
- Supply: beginning stocks, production, and imports;
- Demand: utilization for food, seed, and industrial uses, feed and residual, export, and ending stocks;
- Prices: farm and market prices;
- Quantities: concentrates, oilseed meals, and animal-and grain-protein feeds;
- Feed-price ratios for livestock, poultry, and milk;
- And more
The database is updated each month at 2 p.m. EST on the second business day after the release of the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Users can download data into Excel, XML and PDF file formats.
