Rodney Holcomb, Oklahoma State University Fall may bring more grocery shortages. Here's what to expect By: Today & NBC 5 - September 29, 2021 Rodney Holcomb, a food economist at Oklahoma State University, told TODAY in an email that we can expect to see a shortage of canned foods, but that this has to do more with the container than the actual food. What types of foods could be affected? Jayson L. Lusk, a distinguished professor and head of the department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, said anything that's packaged in aluminum — not only canned vegetables and soups, but also drinks, like soda, teas and other beverages.

Mykel Taylor, Auburn University Farmland Values on a Rocket Ship By: Successful Farming - September 29, 2021 “These smaller parcels are being bought up by people who want to move out of the bigger cities. That’s a COVID-driven thing,” says Mykel Taylor with the Auburn University Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology in Alabama. “People didn’t spend their money last year during COVID like they had been, and now they are bidding like crazy on these smaller tracts. That’s bringing up some of the values, even as the average acreage (per sale) is down.” (Continued...)

(Continued...) Danielle Ufer, USDA-Economic Research Service Sometimes, more labelling works By: Hoard's Dairyman - September 30, 2021 The study, which was published in Applied Economic Perspective & Policy, also simulated if that consumer preference resulted in greater market share than products that offered fewer traits than the comprehensive label. Again, the redundant labels proved valuable, as the researchers concluded that it could help organic participants recapture 3% to 7% of the market from products that only offer non-GMO or animal welfare standards.

Alvaro Durand-Morat, University of Arkansas UArk Studies Profit Potential of Farming Organic Rice By: Public News Service - September 24, 2021 Alvaro Durand-Morat, assistant professor of agricultural economics and agribusiness at the university, said only a handful of the 100 organic rice farmers in the country are based in Arkansas. One barrier to entry is the lack of information on how the organic rice market operates. (Continued...) Stephan Goetz, Pennsylvania State University Hunger in 2020 Sharply Affected Even Middle-Class Americans By: Flagler Live - September 25, 2021 Americans in households with annual incomes from $50,000 to $75,000 experienced the sharpest increase in food insufficiency when the COVID-19 pandemic began – meaning that many people in the middle class didn’t have enough to eat at some point within the previous seven days, according to our peer-reviewed study that will soon be published in the Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics. (Continued...) Susan Offutt, DCL Consulting Researchers Study Womens Impact on Agricultural Economics By: Capital Press & The Blue Mountain Eagle - September 28, 2021 “We were just thinking about all of the impacts women have made in agricultural economics,” McCluskey said. “I feel like many of them have been unrecognized. We also wanted to point out that adding diversity to the field can make it more creative, more relevant and even more rigorous.” “The women who joined wanted to study those topics,” Offutt said. “We argue that without the momentum the discipline gained by having a significant number of students that wanted to look at those issues, it would have remained much more narrowly focused, and we think not as relevant to national policy.” (Continued...) Gary Schnitkey, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Evaluating impact of House Ways & Means tax change proposals By: Michigan Farm News - September 20, 2021 New details for a potential $3.5 trillion spending and tax package were released by the House Ways & Means Committee on Sept. 13, 2021, including a proposal for funding new policies advanced by Democrats. This package includes proposals for several changes to the tax code intended to generate additional tax revenues. (Continued...) Zhengfei Guan, University of Florida Tomato Trade with Mexico Could Cost U.S. Growers By: Michigan Ag Connection - September 24, 2021 Guan just published a study on the consequences of intensifying Mexican competition for American growers. The market positions of Mexican and domestic tomato industries completely reversed over the past 20 years. Mexico now dominates the U.S. market, with three times more market share than the domestic industry. That change sparked Guan’s interest in pursuing the new study. (Continued...) Kristiana Hansen, University of Wyoming UW Extension bulletin looks at impacts on Wyoming Colorado River Basin By: Wyoming Tribune Eagle - September 23, 2021 “For example, if a producer receives compensation for irrigating fewer acres in a DM program, they might buy a new truck and/or hire less help for harvest,” said Hansen, an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “These impacts are measured in terms of changes in jobs and income that would occur, directly or indirectly, as a result of implementing a DM program.” (Continued...) Larry Van Tassell, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Conservation practices contribute to productivity of state crop harvests By: The Grand Herald Independent - September 22, 2021 Larry Van Tassell, director of the Center for Agricultural Profitability, attributed the increase in cover crop use, in part, to the rising recognition of their ecological advantages and government incentives for producers. (Continued...) Micah Cameron-Harp, Kansas State University Carbon credits provide opportunity By: Great Bend Tribune - September 25, 2021 “There are starting to be a few more concrete opportunities for producers to sign up for carbon credits, and especially some opportunities in Kansas right now,” said Micah Cameron-Harp, who is a graduate student in agricultural economics. “They’re making corporate pledges to reduce how much they’re emitting,” said KSRE agricultural economist Nathan Hendricks. “They’re going to reduce their emissions, but in order to get to their goals, they’re going to buy some offsets.

James Mintert, Purdue University Area farmers begin harvesting amid price slump By: Kokomo Tribune - September 28, 2021 James Mintert, director of Purdue University's Center for Commercial Agriculture, said the major reason for the price drop stems from Hurricane Ida, which decimated shipping ports along the Gulf Coast and stopped all exports of crops. Nathanael Thompson, an associate professor in Purdue's Department of Agricultural Economics, said another good source of income could be selling corn to ethanol plants, which are bidding 30% to 50% higher than last year.
