“Food Waste Is a Big Issue in The U.S. Here's How to Cut Down”
By: abc7 – November 27, 2023
"Food waste is definitely a continuing issue in the United States. About one third of all food that's produced is actually never eaten. Nobody actually eats that food. And if you take that a step deeper, what that means is that roughly that 1,250 calories of food per person per day that isn't eaten takes up about 30 million acres of land.”

“Foreign Buyers Pay a Premium For U.S. Farmland, Says Analyst”
By: Successful Farming – November 29, 2023
“There is no clear evidence that foreign ownership is causing U.S. farmland prices to rise.”
“An analysis of farmland sales in the Midwest and Plains states found foreign investors paid 13.7% more than American purchasers for comparable tracts, but the infrequent transactions did not affect land values overall.”
“It’s too early to tell if the carbon credit and soil health market would influence land values. There was little impact from solar or wind power potential, but farmland with access to high-speed internet service generally had higher value than land with poorer service.”
“By far, farmers are the dominant buyers when land comes on the market. I would like to argue farmers are still in the game. Nonetheless, farmers and ranchers often name non-farm investors as the leading reason for rising land values.”

“It Really Does Pay to Schmooze At Work”
By: Rochester Business Journal – November 24, 2023
Economists have long wondered about the effects of such schmoozing between employees and their managers. In this regard, two questions are pertinent. First, does this kind of schmoozing actually help employees in some way? Specifically, are employees who schmooze promoted at a faster rate or to more preferred positions? Second, is this schmoozing largely a male activity that detrimentally affects female employees?

“Don’t Bet on Another Black Swan”
By: Farm Progress - November 29, 2023
“Over long periods of time, farm input prices are significantly correlated with general inflation. However, farm input prices are by no means perfectly correlated with general inflation. Each input has its own supply-and-demand fundamentals.”

By: Flatwater Free Press – November 29, 2023
