"Agricultural Forum Unveils Rural Trends"
By: Agri-View - January 30, 2024
The state boasts some of the country’s best labor-force participation rates. But labor availability still poses a challenge because there are more job openings than workers in the state. There is a consensus among economists that a recession is unlikely as inflation and interest rates gradually decrease. It looks like we’re going in the right direction."
"Net farm income has decreased 20 percent from its peak in 2022 but overall it’s trending at more than the 30-year average. Looking at dairy trends, cash receipts have decreased 18 percent as producers weathered through a 43 percent price decrease from a peak in summer 2022 – to a five-year worst price in summer 2023."

“Study: If You Let People Buy Beer at Grocery Stores, the Liquor Stores Still Survive”
By: Reason – January 26, 2024
"Despite repeated claims by liquor store associations, repealing these laws did not harm liquor stores, suggesting that it is possible to repeal Sunday blue laws without negatively impacting smaller businesses. The same data also provides comfort for those who worry that being able to buy alcohol one additional day per week would lead to an explosion in alcoholism and addiction. Our estimates indicate that repealing these laws significantly increased beer sales at grocery and liquor stores directly after the policy shift, but these effects disappeared afterward.”

“Shipping Disruptions May Weigh Heavily On U.S. Ag Exports”
By: Successful Farming - January 30, 2024
“Given these conditions, the 2024 outlook suggests continued challenges for U.S. agricultural exports, particularly for critical commodities such as corn and soybeans. These uncertainties will require stakeholders to adapt to the increasingly uncertain global market environment. This adaptation may involve diversifying logistical plans, exploring alternative shipping routes, adjusting schedules, and possibly seeking new markets to mitigate the risks of reduced canal capacity and disruptions in key shipping lanes.”
“Persistently low water levels at the Panama Canal could significantly impact these exports. If ships bypass the canal and go around Cape Horn, voyages take an additional two weeks, with higher costs.”

“Common Mistakes That Lead To Food Waste And Strain Your Budget This Winter”
By: Salem News Online – January 26, 2024
“Larger households as among the least wasteful because there are more people, so leftovers are more likely to be consumed rather than discarded. Wasted food does more than drain our bank balances. It also significantly impacts climate change, as precious resources, like land, energy, and water, are also wasted along with food.”

“Importance Of Irrigation Water To Lower Rio Grande Valley Agriculture Highlighted In New Report”
By: Phys.org – January 29, 2024
"The past 30-plus years have demonstrated a trend toward fewer and fewer acre feet of irrigation water being available to the region. We did this report at the request of agricultural producers in the Lower Rio Grande Valley who wanted to make people aware of the dire situation they are facing now and the uncertainty of ag production in 2024 due to less irrigation water."
“With the absence of water, irrigated row crops would be assumed to produce dryland yields, causing a reduction in row crop farm-gate values. The dryland yields used in the analysis actually provide a conservative estimate of the potential economic losses, with the total farm-gate loss for row crops estimated at $44.3 million."
