“Congress Fails To Pass New Farm Bill in 2023”
By: Scripps News – December 29, 2023
"There does not appear to be much of an ability to legislate on something like this. The House has been an absolute mess in terms of being functional enough to do anything. Congress' inability to pass a new Farm Bill this year speaks to broader dysfunction in Washington. We're just stacking up the things that need to be done, and Congress is not finding ways to get them done.”

“Are Interest Rate Hikes in The Rearview Mirror?”
By: Farm Progress – January 8, 2024
“A review of the financing structure of the business should be, at a minimum, an annual activity with plans for seizing opportunities as they become available. Higher borrowing costs, however long they last, increase the hurdle that must be overcome with any financed venture.”
“Projects and expansion plans that had economic merit two years ago must be reassessed and evaluated if being considered today. The incentive to self-finance activities becomes more enticing with higher rates, but the pressure on liquidity must be acknowledged. Finally, whenever business or personal finances are concerned, maintaining a conservative cash cushion and retaining financial peace of mind is rarely a regrettable strategy.”

“Breakeven Prices Tighter For Crops, Volatile in Livestock”
By: Iowa Farmer Today - January 6, 2024
“What that’s essentially done is it’s improved land values,” Langemeier said. “Not necessarily in the last year, but certainly in 2021 and 2022. Those increases in values are starting to factor into budgets, and when combined with a decrease in commodity prices year over year, it means finding profits could be more difficult for crop farmers.”
“What the numbers the USDA provides shows is that the vast majority of this downward change from 2022 is because of changes in the price of the commodities. Where some relief may come for crop farmers is in input costs. Fertilizer prices have been flat and not rising with inflation. That differs from 2022 when input prices were nearly double the inflation rate.”

By: Futurity – January 10, 2024
“Estimating a more general, more accurate impact of local sugar-sweetened beverage taxes in the US provides greater insight into the overall effectiveness of these taxes,” says lead author Scott Kaplan, who an economics professor at the United States Naval Academy. Kaplan received his PhD from the agricultural and resource economics department at the University of California, Berkeley in 2021. “This study may better inform the potential effectiveness of SSB taxes at the state or federal level.”

“Economists Size Up Ag Economy in 2024”
By: Progressive Farmer – January 10, 2024
"China has long been important in markets across field crops. China also is a major producer of commodities and it competes in the export markets. We've got trouble with growth in China. Geopolitically it is a big issue for the United States, but not a good thing for U.S. agriculture. We spent $25 billion in compensation when we went through (trade war with China). Exports are a big driver for commodities. If we do a trade war and don't compensate farmers for losses, then there will be serious losses. It's problematic. I don't have any insights into the geopolitics of this at all. I think it's something that ought to be on everybody's horizon."
