The farmdoc Project is an innovative model for web-based Agricultural extension and outreach. It provides comprehensive economic information and analysis for farmers and agribusinesses in the U.S. Corn Belt. The project has garnered national, state, and campus awards for excellence and has served as a new model for extension and outreach activities in agricultural economics departments throughout the U.S. The project team publishes analysis of agricultural markets, outlook, policy, management, crop insurance, land values related to agricultural economics oriented toward production agriculture. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES) is part of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is considered by some to be the top school of agriculture-related sciences in the world. The farmdoc Project office is located in Mumford Hall on the South Quad.
