Zusammenfassung:Extract: Tatonnement programming is used to examine the effect of future yields on commodity prices. This method uses a national interregional linear programming model in conjunction with an econometric model of demand. The linked model is iterated to solve for approximate equilibrium prices and quantities for the year 2000. The model suggests that the crops analyzed - corn, oats, barley, grain sorghum, wheat and soybean meal - future price-quantity relationships may be influenced significantly by the level of crop yields.
