Demand for U.S. Agricultural Output Much of the demand for U.S. Agricultural output has come from other countries.

Example The total demand for U.S. wheat output is Q = 3, P In addition, we are told that domestic demand is Q D = 1, P Domestic supply is Q S = 1, P

Example Suppose the export demand falls by 40 percent. u U.S. farmers are concerned about this drop in export demand. What happens to the free market price of wheat in the U.S.? Do the farmers have much reason to worry?

Example u Now, suppose the U.S. government wants to buy enough wheat to raise the price to $3.50 per bushel. With this drop in export demand, how much wheat would the government have to buy? How much would this cost the government?
