“Corn, Bean Outlooks Conflicted”
By: Agri-View - January 27, 2023
“The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that 87 million acres could be planted to soybeans this year, producing as much as 4.4 billion bushels. Demand has been keeping pace with supplies. Exports could dampen the market outlook, although not as dramatically as corn. In the short term, we still should be in good shape with another year of beans in the teens.”

“Comparing 13 Different Carbon Programs"
By: Future of Agriculture - January 18, 2023
“I wanted to know what the differences were for these programs and I found his report titled “How to Grow and Sell Carbon Credits in US Agriculture” to be one of the best resources out there. The first thing you ought to know is there are a lot of differences between carbon programs. Alejandro and his colleagues analyzed the terms associated with 13 of these programs, and he joins me today to share from a high level some of their big takeaways.”

“Ky. Egg Producers Facing Disease Outbreak, Inflation Amid Price Surge”
By: WKMS - January 25, 2023
“In order for egg prices to decrease the disease has to be controlled. Producers are doing everything in their power to do that. [They are] culling any infected birds as necessary and reducing flock sizes as necessary to help slow the spread of the disease. Smaller farms in the region have an advantage against HPAI because their chickens aren’t in confined areas.”

“Why used car prices are dropping — at least for now”
By: We Are Iowa - January 16, 2023
"One of the things that you have to keep in mind is interest rates have also gone up. Used car interest rates are almost always higher than new cars, for a variety of reasons. Not only that, but a potential recession is looming. As a luxury item, automobiles tend to fall faster during recessions and rise faster during upticks. A reduction in [used car] prices are probably not a good indicator for what's happening with the overall economy. They're a signal of potential problems across the board in terms of a reduction in labor demand."

“There’s pretty much a consensus that we’re going to go into a downturn, and if we do go into a recession, it’s going to be a very mild recession. There’s actually a significant number of economists who actually say, ‘No, we’re not going to go into a recession. We are going into a serious downturn. “

“Could Brazil Surpass U.S. As World's Top Corn Exporter?”
By: Effingham Daily News - January 30, 2023
"In 2022, Brazil exported a record amount of corn, 44 million metric tons or 1.73 billion bushels. And those sales could swell to 50 mmt (or 1.96 billion bushels) this year. China signed an agreement with Brazil to import corn. Those shipments started in November. If the pace of corn production and exports continues to grow in Brazil, could it surpass the U.S. as the world’s top exporter. Brazil could surpass the U.S. in corn exports sometime between 2024 and 2026, we’ll see. There are many factors at play.”

“Here’s Why So Many Grocery Store Staples Are So Expensive Right Now”
By: The Press United - January 28, 2023
"The hotdog—America’s favorite summer staple—has seen prices increase by 18.2% in the last year, as lunch meats have similarly gone up by 15.1%. Much of the elevated costs for these items has to do with increased pork prices. Items like lunch meats and frankfurters also have to undergo more processing and packaging than a typical pack of pork chops. Those extra steps have costs involved that are higher than they used to be.”

“High Farmland Prices Not Deterring Buyers”
By: Illinois farmer Today - January 28, 2023
“Markets are incredibly rational. Going back to the beginning of the Trump administration, you had market facilitation payments and adjustments for other things. The pandemic hit other programs with low interest rates. After 2019 with high commodity prices and long-term income that looks pretty good. We had marketing conditions that were very favorable to agriculture and markets that responded appropriately.”

"Outlook for Ag Is Impacted By Costs, Economic Uncertainty"
By: Wisconsin State Farmer - January 29, 2023
“After two years of strong income and increasing land values, the average farmer started 2023 in a good spot. We are no longer the national leader in farm bankruptcies. As farmers look to the future, costs for nearly everything – fuel, fertilizer, pesticide, feed, livestock, labor, etc. are rising. This will shrink margins for Ag across the board.”

“Something To ‘Cry Over’"
By: Borneo Bulletin - January 31, 2023
“Our agriculture sector is significantly challenged. Every Filipino eats an average of 2.34 kilograms of onions per year and theoretically the country produces enough to meet the demand, official data shows. But since the tropical climate only allows one planting per year of the rain-averse crop, stocks are consumed or spoil well before the next harvest. The recent lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, which allowed the resumption of food-focused festivals and family gatherings for Christmas, triggered soaring demand for onions.”
