Weekly export sales exhibit seasonal trends throughout the year. The Green Pace is the seasonal sales pace over the last 10 years scaled to the current USDA exports. Although there is an obvious seasonality in sales, there is a large variation in sales for any given week. The green band around the seasonal green pace gives a loose sense of a normal range for a given week.
The blue pace is the same seasonally adjusted average as the green pace, but is scaled to the last 4 weeks sales, instead of the USDA export prediction. This shows whether recent sales have been stronger or weaker than the USDA prediction.
