The Impact of COVID-19 on Iowa's Corn, Soybean, Ethanol, Pork, and Beef Sectors
估算了COVID-19疫情对爱荷华州主要农业部门造成的收入损失，包括玉米、大豆、乙醇、牛肉和猪肉行业，总损失达数十亿美元。
In this study, we estimate the COVID-19 outbreak’s revenue impacts on some of Iowa’s largest agricultural industries. We estimate overall annual damage of roughly $788 million for corn, $213 million for soybean, over $2.5 billion for ethanol and $347 million in losses due to falling ethanol prices*, $658 million for fed cattle, $34 million for calves and feeder cattle, and $2.1 billion for hogs. As more data become available and as the pandemic evolves, these estimates will certainly change, but for now they represent our best assessment of the impact on these industries.
