“Scientists
Make Game-Changing Discovery That Could Revolutionize How We Grow Food: 'A
Long-Term Investment'”
By: The Cool Down
– July 18, 2025
"There is a lot of
academic literature looking at short-term effects of cover crops, but our
contribution here is in thinking about cover crops as a long-term
investment."
"The more you use
cover crops, the fewer fertilizer inputs are needed. That effect also increased
over time. So, the longer you used cover crops, the more they were able to
offset nitrogen fertilizer."

“Midwest
Farm Economies Suffered While Some Sun Belt States Kept Rolling in Early 2025”
By: Yahoo! News
– July 15, 2025
“That’s because
Southeastern agriculture includes more poultry and eggs, currently more
profitable than the row crops that dominate in the Midwest. The divergence is
expected to last, he said, with row-crop prices continuing to fall and meat and
egg prices continuing to rise this year.
“Farm bankruptcies
nationally came to 259 in the first three months of this year. That was more
than any full year since 2021, when there were 276. Arkansas saw 15 farm
bankruptcies in the first quarter, almost as many as in all of 2024, when there
were 16.”

“The law has resulted in
higher egg prices in California, but not elsewhere. These California rules

“Tariffs
on Brazilian Imports Could Destroy Florida's Citrus Industry, Expert Warns”
By: Palm Beach
Post – July 16, 2025
“The tariffs on Brazil
may juice demand for Florida’s home-grown fruit at first — driving up prices
that growers can get. But these same tariffs may ultimately make juicing
oranges an unprofitable industry… Right now, mixing Brazilian and Mexican
orange concentrate with the juice of Sunshine State oranges is keeping the
industry alive because hurricanes and a citrus greening disease have decimated
the state’s groves, which are predominantly used to grow oranges for juice.”

“Trump’s
Cane Sugar Coca-Cola Push Could Disrupt U.S. Agriculture: Trade Group”
By: MSNBC TV – July 17,
2025
“Changes in demand for
corn syrup, such as that used in Coke, would increase demand for cane sugar in
Louisiana and Florida, as well as from Central and South America, where the
sweetener is heavily tariffed. It could force corn farmers—primarily in Iowa
and Illinois—to look for business elsewhere… The exports were looking really
good, but they would look even better if we were still supplying China so
heavily.”
