**America’s agricultural exports in fiscal year 2024 are projected to be down $2.5 billion from the August forecast.
The drop is primarily from reductions in grain and feed as well as livestock, poultry, and dairy exports.
Wheat exports are forecast down $800 million on lower unit values and ongoing competition from Russia and the EU.
Livestock, poultry, and dairy exports are forecast to drop by $1.3 billion due to declines across most products.
**The USDA is providing approximately $208 million in financial assistance for qualifying farm and emergency loan borrowers.
To help prevent foreclosures, USDA will cover approximately $80 million in delinquencies for an estimated 210 borrowers whose loans were flagged for liquidation as of November 30.
USDA will also provide roughly $128 million for an estimated 1,120 borrowers with outstanding direct Emergency Loans.
