By: Agfax.com - November 9, 2022

Rather, limited changes in the balance sheet mean small changes in price expectations as was the case last week. This article also discusses one thing to watch going forward: global macroeconomic uncertainty and signs of weakening corn and soybean demand in international data.

Food Pantry Access Worth Billions Nationally, Study Finds

By: Science Blog - November 11, 2022

“Food pantries make a huge difference to the households they serve, for many representing a substantial portion of their income,” Just said. “This is important information for policymakers considering support for the national or local food banking system, like tax breaks for food donation, direct program support from USDA or other efforts.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                         “Private food assistance, especially food banking, has grown in recent decades,” Byrne said. “These organizations have a unique position within the food system and a specific role in food access because they offer quick relief in the form of free groceries to a wide variety of people, typically with minimal administrative hurdles.”

Smaller turkeys, increased prices expected for Thanksgiving

By: Twin Cities Pioneer Press - November 13, 2022

“When we think about the inputs used to produce our food, we think about labor, we think about energy, we think about logistics and transportation,” he said. “All these things have seen increased inflation caused by geopolitical events and policy implications from our government.”

All Drought, No Cattle: Low herd supply may drive record-high prices next year

By: Lubbock-Avalanche Journal - November 12, 2022

"The reason we have culled so many cows this year is because of drought and the cost of corn. High corn prices will lead to a high feed cost environment into next year. Production costs have also increased faster than calf prices.”

Should Maize Farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa Store or Sell Their Grain?

By: Springfield Herald News - November 4, 2022

"Analyzing maize prices across more than a thousand Sub-Saharan African markets over a 20-year period, the researchers found not only that maize prices do not always rise after the harvest season, but also that farmers cannot fully predict whether prices are likely to rise or fall. As a result, there is significant risk associated with storing grain for later sale, and farmer risk tolerance can impact the decision."

South American Corn and Soybeans in US Perspective

By: Farms.com - November 10, 2022

"Most farmdoc readers know that South America produces more soybeans than the US and is an increasingly important producer of corn.  But, “facts” can often be appreciated (i.e. understood) only when put in a familiar context.  This article therefore discusses South American corn and soybean production in the context of US states.  Almost every US farmer and agribusiness person understands that what happens in Illinois and Iowa directly impacts them."
