USDA’s Livestock Mandatory Reporting Program (LMR) provides the U.S. pork industry the market intelligence they need to competitively buy and sell pork. To help the pork industry navigate LMR and how pork is priced, AMS created three user’s guides that provide insight into understanding the information available through our market reports.
A User’s Guide to USDA’s LMR Pork Reports takes a deep dive into wholesale pork reporting. While not originally included in the program, wholesale pork reporting began in 2013 at the request of industry, and now AMS publishes four daily and eight weekly reports.
