Recession-proof: Finding Work When Few Are Working

She primarily serves as an oilseeds outlook analyst for the crops branch and helps to write the oilseeds outlook report and associated data product. She also works with and publishes the season average price futures forecast model, and state agricultural trade export and import data product.
