Unusual market forces drive farmland sales
By: Successful Farming - September 22, 2022
Further east, a Purdue University survey released earlier this summer reported new land price records for Indiana. “Our year-over-year change is around 30%,” says Todd Kuethe, a Purdue University agriculture economist, who conducts the survey.

He said we have the tools and the knowledge to produce more food and grow crops that are resistant to drought and extreme weather.

By: eDairy News, Wisconsin State Farmer, Street Insider, News Channel Nebraska Panhandle, WICZ, One News Page, Manhattan Week, Bio Florida, & Intern Daily - September 21, 2022
Peña-Lévano said the seed for the grant proposal was planted by dairy farmers, many of whom have told UWRF faculty they are wrestling with the decision about whether to invest in robotic milking systems that can cost more than $200,000.
Likewise, Burney said he was “ecstatic” to learn UWRF was awarded what he referred to as a highly competitive grant that receives applications from researchers in many different disciplines.
