“What an El Niño Could Mean For Food Prices”
By: Axios – May 2, 2023
“If El Niño ends up intensifying the prolonged drought in the Central and Southern Plains, the results would be "economically devastating.The drought we've been seeing in the region has actually contributed to high crop prices ... everywhere. El Niño event could make the extreme situation in states like Kansas actually worse."

“Why Aren’t Farmers Embracing Ag Tech?”
By: The Western Producer – May 6, 2023
“What really surprised me with this, when we started running through the numbers, was to find that the rate of adoption is not as high as we would like it to be. If you want to promote further environmental stewardship, to really deal with the fertilizer issues and reduce nitrogen emissions from fertilizer use… there is probably an enormous opportunity here for the industry and producer organizations to provide that education and training that’s needed.”

“USDA World Agricultural Supply & Demand Estimates Report”
By: USSEC – May 12, 2023
“If realized, this will be the largest year-over-year production increase in nearly two decades. More than half the increase is estimated to come from increased yields in Argentina, after a historic drought. Meanwhile, USDA reports Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay account from more than a quarter of production gains from increased plantings and higher yields across all three countries. U.S. farmers are forecast to plant acreage numbers similar to last year, but projections show higher yields.”

“Mangoes in Nor Cal?”
By: Chico News Review – May 19, 2023
“California’s agricultural identity already has changed drastically over time. In its earliest days of statehood, California was a major producer of rain-watered wheat, grown on several million acres. When irrigation became ubiquitous, so did specialty crops that thrive in a hot, dry climate but need water in the summer.”

“Automation and Precision Farming Bode Ill For Jobs in SA Agriculture But Are Crucial For Food Security”
By: Daily Maverick – May 21, 2023
“The relevant question is not whether we will have mass unemployment, but what will happen to the specific workers who are replaced. Can they retrain and find new jobs? And what of their communities?”

“K-State Plans Webinars to Address Cattle Production Challenges”
By: Farms.com – May 22, 2023
“As of May 11, all but 11 counties in Kansas are abnormally dry or classified in some degree of drought. Many counties have experienced persistent severe drought since late 2021. Not only have producers dealt with forage shortages, high forage and feed ingredient costs, and toxic forages, but water quality and availability is also an issue for some.”

“Bee-vival? Is Texas’ Bee Population Rebounding?”
By: Farm Progress – May 23, 2023
“A challenge for small-scale beekeepers is the business of competing in a market where honey is produced on a large scale and readily available. Similar to other commodity product markets, small-scale honey producers may struggle to compete from a cost-efficiency standpoint. Therefore, they need to find a way to differentiate their product to attract a premium price. Niche market opportunities may come from simply being ‘locally sourced’ or being produced from a unique nectar source.”

“Planting Cover Crops Can Mitigate PPL Acres In Wet Springs”
By: Machine Finder – May 18, 2023
“Those who are already planting cover crops are seeing benefits as a result of earlier planting, which reduces yield loss. Cover crops also boost the ability of soil to retain water, which means less runoff during heavy rains. The U.S. Department of Agriculture focuses on offering financial incentives to those who implement these practices, such as planting cover crops. Additionally, the University of Missouri provides its own incentives to state farmers who implement these tactics, including cover crop grazing and climate-smart fieldscapes.”

“Setting Restrained Expectations For New-Crop Corn and Soybean Prices”
By: Farms.com – May 16, 2023
“These new-crop supply and demand projections are valuable not because they necessarily enable users of the information to better predict forthcoming price changes, but because they establish expectations about future market conditions and provide context for forthcoming marketing decisions. Broadly speaking, prospects have coalesced around an inverted market structure with new-crop corn and soybean prices much lower than old-crop values.”

“Making Rochester a Knowledge Economy? Beware Of Unintended Consequences”
By: Rochester Beacon – May 24, 2023
“Those who want Rochester to become a strong center of knowledge and innovation need to think carefully about the point that as knowledge-based activities increasingly become the main propulsive force in our city, the geographic divide between individuals with different levels of income may well continue to widen, in the process intensifying differences in terms of access to education, health, and consumption amenities.”

“Ag Economists Revise Corn and Soybean Budgets, Both Show Losses in 2023”
By: Agri-Marketing – May 25, 2023
“We update the 2023 Crop Budgets to reflect declining corn and soybean bids for fall delivery. At currently projected price levels -- $5.00 per bushel for corn and $12.30 for soybeans -- farmer returns will be negative on cash-rented farmland. If prices stay at current levels, or continue to move lower, adjustments will be needed for 2024 production to achieve positive returns.”
