This paper presents revised procedures for calculating total factor productivity and measuring productivity growth in U.S. agriculture over the postwar years. Our estimates reflect (1) a disaggregated treatment of outputs and inputs and (2) indexing / procedures that do not im ose a priori restrictions on the structure of production. We find that productivity grew at the average annual rate of 1. 5 percent during the 1948-79 period, compared with the 1.70 percent per year estimated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The similar estimates of productivity growth overshadow some important differences in measurement of individual inputs.

Red meats, poultry, and fish are the most important foods in most consumer's diets, and are of major importance to the Nation's agricultural economy. This report contains evidence that the U.S. demand structure for red meats, poultry, and fish is characterized by a high degree of stability, and that an overwhelming part of the variation in U.S. demand for these products can be explained by the economic factors of prices and income. Socioeconomic and demographic factors which are important determinants of individual consumer demand patterns are also identified; and their effects are measured, and assessed.
