Metro says its holding prices steady as usual this winter in wake of Loblaw campaign
By: Yahoo! Finance & CP24 - October 18, 2022
"It gave the impression that retailers were colluding to fix the price of food products that they buy from suppliers, which is illegal," said Simon Somogyi, University of Guelph professor and Arrell Chair in the Business of Food. "There appeared to be an anti-competition issue."

USDA further reduces corn, soybean production numbers
By: Feed Strategy - October 17, 2022
The agency cut the estimated size of the 2022 corn crop by more than a billion bushels compared with last year’s crop. Yet despite the substantial decline in corn yields, the cuts were in line with long-running expectations for what this year’s corn harvest might look like, according to Jim Mintert, director of the Center for Commercial Agriculture at Purdue University.

Letting farmland recover may let air quality recover, too
By: AGU - October 12, 2022
“Because the decommissioned land no longer requires all the inputs that agricultural land does, and because we know that translates into so many benefits, we wanted to see if that would translate into air quality benefits, too,” said Douglas Becker, an environmental health scientist at the University of Idaho who led the study.

$30 Million USAID Grant Allows African Farmers to Adopt New Technologies
By: Seed World - October 4, 2022
“The U of I has a long history of work building knowledge and capacity for agricultural development in Africa and an even longer record of research on soybean production and utilization. Under Goldsmith’s leadership and with USAID’s support, SIL has married our capabilities in international agriculture and soybean value chains to make a real difference globally,” said Alex Winter-Nelson, the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Science’s associate dean of research.

By: Agri-Pulse - October 12, 2022
Brazil has been steadily planting more corn in recent years, and production may be on the verge of explosive growth as farmers double and even triple crop to take advantage of high prices, Chinese demand and a rising domestic ethanol sector.

U of I paper spotlights challenges, solutions to ag's role in carbon markets
By: Farm Week Now - October 11, 2022
In addition to high upfront costs, tenant farmers are also hesitant to adopt a conservation practice because the benefits of that practice — better soil health increases the land’s value, for example — likely will only be accessible by a future tenant or the landowner, said Amy Ando, a professor in the U of I’s College of Agricultural & Consumer Economics who led the study.

Professors studying cost effectiveness of milking systems
By: River Falls Journal - October 14, 2022
“As a first-year professor, it was a huge deal, not just for me but for all of those on my team that we got this grant on the first try,” said Peña-Lévano, a native of Peru who joined UWRF’s faculty in July 2021.
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.

Subsidised solar irrigation pumps: Not benefitting needy farmers
By: The Himalayan - October 12, 2022
With limited access to electricity – that too plagued with irregular supply and rapidly fluctuating voltages – farmers are left with no choice. Unaware of the serious consequences of fossil fuels on climate change, farmers who can afford a diesel pump own and use them without a second thought.

Two Nebraska farm groups oppose hog confinement law; a third calls issue 'complicated'
By: Omaha World-Herald - October 18, 2022
Brad Lubben, an extension policy specialist in agricultural economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said the law is “almost entirely forcing a production system on the rest of the country — not forcing the rest of the country to catch up to the California system” because the nation’s most populous state produces less than 1% of the pork that is consumed.
