USDA says no discussions about emergency crops in Conservation Reserve
By: Successful Farming - March 4, 2022
Economist Joe Glauber of the IFPRI think tank predicted that only a relatively small amount of additional wheat — less than 100 million bushels — would be harvested if the Conservation Reserve rules were changed.
On Wednesday, economist Scott Irwin of the University of Illinois suggested an emergency opening of the Conservation Reserve for one year. Russia and Ukraine, two of the world’s largest wheat exporters, may be out of the international market for months.

The other oil market that’s being disrupted by the conflict in Ukraine: the oils we eat
By: Marketplace - March 2, 2022
People often use sunflower oil or palm oil for deep frying and sautéing food. It’s used a lot in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. But Chad Hart, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University, said it’s fairly easy to substitute one edible oil for another.
“Whatever happens in the Ukraine, happens in the world,” said Joe Glauber, a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute. Because, he said, commodity markets are global.

Non-GMO Project: Providing non-GMO food options for the past 15 years
By: The Organic & Non-GMO Report - March 2, 2022
“More companies will voluntarily label their products as not produced using bioengineering. If a company wants a certifiable label, I believe the Non-GMO Project is going to grow,” says Jane Kolodinsky, Chair of Community Development and Applied Economics at the University of Vermont.

Midwestern lawmakers are trying to replace Russian oil with ethanol
By: Grist - March 29, 2022
The RFA, which has separately urged Biden to use his emergency authorization powers to allow E15 to be sold year-round, stated that the U.S. already has enough ethanol to replace every lost barrel of Russian oil. But Chad Hart, an Iowa State University professor who specializes in agricultural economics, told the Iowa Capital Dispatch that ethanol production may need to increase by more than 30 percent to meet demand.
The focus on using farmland to produce ethanol is especially misguided as the invasion of Ukraine threatens global food supplies, according to Silvia Secchi, a sustainability researcher at the University of Iowa. Ukraine is a major producer of wheat and corn, and food prices have soared since the invasion. Given this, Secchi said the U.S. should instead convert more of its corn fields to wheat, particularly to feed vulnerable areas such as the Middle East and Africa.

North American Meat Institute: Grassley-Fischer Bill is Still a Government Mandate
By: Oklahoma Farm Report - March 29, 2022
At the 2022 American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention in Atlanta, Dr. Stephen R. Koontz, professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at Colorado State University said, “Mandated cash trade is not going to get you better price discovery. It's going to put a $50 cost on calves impacted.” This $50 cost per head will be shouldered by cattle feeders and cow-calf producers - those hard hit by the pandemic.

Nebraska farmland prices continue to grow
By: Lincoln Journal Star - March 26, 2022
“Many operations improved their financial positions in the last year, despite rising machinery costs and input expenses,” said Jim Jansen, an agricultural economist with Nebraska Extension who co-authored the survey and report with Jeffrey Stokes, a professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics.
According to the study, written by professors Elliott Dennis and Brad Lubben, cash receipts for Nebraska animals and animal products fell nearly 15% in 2020 compared with their 2010-2019 average.

Does U.S. immigration favor Democrats or Republicans?
By: Rochester Business Journal - March 25, 2022
Contemporary discussions about the political impact of immigration in the U.S. are based on three seemingly immutable points. First, naturalized immigrants tend to vote primarily for the Democratic Party. Second, because of the first point, Democrats are generally more pro-immigration than Republicans. Finally, referring back to the preceding two points, there is a negative relationship between immigration and the Republican vote share in federal (presidential, House, and Senate) elections.
