The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has released a new publicly available web service for its Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR) system. This web service offers easier access to all historical LMR data.
"The LMR program facilitates open, transparent price discovery and provides all market participants, both large and small, with comparable levels of market information for cattle, swine, sheep, beef and lamb meat," said Craig Morris, deputy administrator of the AMS Livestock and Seed Program.
