# USDA boosts rice price outlook - Brownfield Ag News

> The USDA tightened the US rice balance sheet, cutting new-crop stocks by 11.4 million hundredweight to 35.8 million on lower beginning stocks and reduced production. The average farm price was raised to $13.20 per hundredweight, up $1 from August. Cotton prices were also revised lower.

## Why it matters

A smaller US rice supply and higher farm price support rice values, and the revision indicates tighter domestic supply for feed and food rice users. The effect on feed markets is limited.
