KSU's Tonsor provides Beef Cattle Outlook
By: Farm Progress - November 1, 2022
If you take away just three things from Glynn Tonsor’s Beef Outlook, let them be these: Beef demand has been solid; supply dynamics likely support higher cattle prices; and we have to think global and yet manage at a local level.

Should Maize Farmers In Sub-Saharan Africa Store or Sell Their Grain?
By: Seed Today & Illinois Ag Connection - November 3, 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, says Hope Michelson, associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics (ACE) at Illinois and co-author on the study.
From her field work in Malawi, Michelson observed the unpredictability of market prices after the high season of harvest and crop-sale. She teamed up with then-doctoral student Lila Cardell, who is now a research economist with the USDA Economic Research Service, to gather data from markets across the region to track post-harvest maize price trends over a range of nations and years.

Speakers gather to discuss food security at home and abroad
By: The Daily Nebraskan - October 24, 2022
Joseph Glauber began by covering short-term causes for international food insecurity, specifically citing issues related to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine for rising production costs. He pointed towards difficulties in growing grains and fertilizer prices, which he attributed partially to the former issues as well as a rise in inflation.

Bumper Specialty Crop Harvests Offer Opportunity
By: Brownfield Ag News - October 27, 2022
Molly Sears, Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics assistant professor at Michigan State University, tells Brownfield, “Yields, in general, are really high, it’s especially true in tree fruits.” “They had a cold, rainy winter but not a lot of freeze cycles and yields are astronomically higher than they were last year—apple production is up 68 percent,” she says.

How US food waste impacts the environment
By: The Miami Times - November 2, 2022
According to Brian Roe, professor and faculty lead at the Ohio State Food Waste Collaborative, the average American family can put thousands of dollars of food in the trash each year.
An American Journal of Agricultural Economics study published in 2020 found the loss to be $240 billion in total in homes nationally, breaking down to $1,866 per household – though based on the most current U.S. Census’ findings of the total number of U.S. households, that figure is closer to $1,961 per household.

U of I paper spotlights challenges, solutions to ag's role in carbon markets
By: Effingham Daily News & Illinois Business Journal - October 24, 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 be accessible by only 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.
