China fills grain quotas as the US weighs WTO compliance
By: Agri-Pulse - November 4, 2020
If China’s state-owned enterprises use all their quota allocations, that makes it difficult to know if they would have reallocated any unused quota as they are promising they would do because of the WTO ruling, says David Orden, a professor at Virginia Tech's Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics. “China actually needs the grain, so Cofco isn’t conflicted about whether to import the grain or not,” says Orden. “At face value, the U.S. won the WTO case and the TRQs are going to be filled. But it’s muddied by the fact that China’s grain supply has changed to where there’s more need for the grain within their domestic market.”

The state of the workforce 2020: covid-19 catalyzes a reckoning
By: The National Provisioner - October 16, 2020
“There wasn’t a deep reserve pool to pull workers from to begin with, and COVID-19 exacerbated the problem,” says Lee Schulz, Ph.D and associate professor in Department of Economics at Iowa State University, in Ames. “Meatpacking is also a highly skilled job, so even though there is now a higher unemployment rate — about 10 percent — and about three people looking per job, even if plants attract workers they still can’t start on Day One.”

By: Morning Ag Clips - November 2, 2020
Peter Orazem, University Professor of Economics at Iowa State, said, “Since 2000, the only areas that consistently added new firms and increased employment were metropolitan areas.
