By: AGS – July 13, 2023
“These results tell us, crucially, that specialty grocers are targeting consumers living certain lifestyles, and that they are certainly not afraid to put the gloves on to compete in competitively saturated trade areas.

“Researchers To Evaluate Blueberry Pest Management Strategies”
By: Farm Progress – August 31, 2023
“We hope the data and analysis this project generates will help Michigan blueberry growers pick a pest management strategy that really works for their farms. There probably won't be a one-size-fits-all solution, so measuring the costs and benefits of different IPM approaches and understanding how these are affected by the type of farm someone is operating is going to be really important."

“How Technology Can Help Solve Agriculture's Labor Woes”
By: Agri Pulse – September 5, 2023

By: Indiana Public Media – September 4, 2023
“Unlike last time, the U.S. will continue to see more competition in the long term as production shifts globally. It just harkens to the idea that at one time, on a worldwide basis, if you wanted to import corn, the U.S. was the supplier. And in recent years, that's been changing. Brazil has been a big part of that. And really over the last almost 20 years, the Black Sea region, Ukraine in particular, has become a big part of that.”
