Factual Questions
1

Hi all,

I want to find out how much wheat is harvested and sold in the US and the rest of the world in terms of quantity and total revenue?

How do I go about finding information like this for other agriculture products? Like beef, pork, chicken, rye, barley, rice?

Thank you very much!

The Food and Agricultural Organziation seems like a good place to start:

http://apps.fao.org/

Those figures will vary quite a lot from year to year.
Start here:

http://www.nass.usda.gov/il/1999/9935.htm
Then here:
http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/y6175e/y6175e05.htm

Then here:
http://www.cimmyt.cgiar.org/scripts/search/newcimmyt.idq?CiMaxRecordsPerPage=10&CiScope=%2F&TemplateName=newcimmyt.htx&CiSort=rank[a]&HTMLQueryForm=%2Fhtmindex%2F&CiRestriction=wheat+production

Then here: http://www.dasnr.okstate.edu/nitrogen_use/Crop_Information/World_Wheat_Production.htm

Between those sites you should be able to answer your quetsion. At the very least they will provide references to sources that can.

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture loves to compile statistics like this. Try this link:
