Farming Drives Toward ‘Precision Agriculture’ Technologies
By: Wired & Grist - May 14, 2022
Across Midwestern farms, if Girish Chowdhary has his way, farmers will someday release beagle-sized robots into their fields like a pack of hounds flushing pheasant. The robots, he says, will scurry in the cool shade beneath a wide diversity of plants, pulling weeds, planting cover crops, diagnosing plant infections, and gathering data to help farmers optimize their farms.

In California, the world’s largest legal weed market is going up in smoke
By: The Economist - May 14, 2022
The price has recovered somewhat; in April it was about $800 a pound. But the legal framework set up by Proposition 64 spells long-term trouble. It gave local municipalities the power to decide whether they would allow cannabis to be grown and sold. In their forthcoming book “Can Legal Weed Win?” two economists, Robin Goldstein and Daniel Sumner, argue that local control ensured that the illegal market would continue to flourish in places where legal weed was banned. Local control also helps explain why California lags behind nine states in weed shops per person. By comparing sales figures with drug-use surveys, Messrs Goldstein and Sumner estimate that only about 25% of the weed sold and consumed within California is legal. Many pot farmers in Humboldt say that some of their fellow growers have gone back underground to make a profit."

Little inflation relief in sight for California shoppers as meat, other food costs rise
By: McClatchy DC - May 13, 2022
Food prices, like that of any product, are largely driven by supply and demand. Supplies for some products are somewhat less than needed at the moment while demand is strong — a recipe for higher prices, Lee Schulz, associate professor of economics at Iowa State University, told The Bee.
Price increases for meats have several sources. Jayson Lusk, head of the agricultural economics department at Purdue University, wrote in November that the meat price jumps were “initially caused by disruptions in supply when packing plants shuttered after workers contracted COVID19. “

U.S. agriculture sees hike in nontraditional loan
By: Rural Radio Network & KSAL - May 18, 2022
“Nontraditional doesn’t mean old or new (forms of lending),” Ifft said. “Some types of nontraditional finance are the result of experience gained over decades of serving farmers, such as implement dealer finance, while others are startups that are testing new lending models.”

Nationwide labor shortage adding to inflationary pressure
By: 7 News - May 3, 2022
“When food prices go up, fertilizer prices tend to follow," said Dr. William Burke, an agricultural economist and consultant at Food Tank. Burke, who's also an associate professor of International Development at Michigan State University's Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics and the acting director of research at MwAPATA Institute in Malawi, described a "perfect storm at high tide" that started before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

New research assesses the impact of COVID-19 related import facilitating and export restricting non-tariff measures (NTMs) on agricultural and food trade. Earlier studies concerned with the trade effects of COVID-19 have overlooked the differential impacts caused by these temporary trade measures. In a new article, "The Impact of COVID-19 Trade Measures on Agricultural and Food Trade," published in Applied Economic Perspectives & Policy, Sandro Steinbach and Soojung Ahn from the University of Connecticut show that export restricting NTMs achieved the set policy goals. At the same time, there is no evidence of long-term trade disruptions.
