By: CBS News – September 18, 2024

“Pre-Harvest Marketing, Crop Insurance a Dual Strategy For Business Sustainability”
By: Stuttgart Daily Leader – September 20, 2024
“Corn and bean farmers considering marketing a crop before harvest should take into consideration historical pricing data. Over a 10-year period, typically on corn and beans, you’ll see the highest on-average prices offered during the late spring or summer months. I would be setting targets before that timeframe at higher levels with the hope history repeats itself and you can get those higher targets.”

By: KSHB – September 20, 2024
“Ground beef and steak products would be 20% to 30% higher than they were three years ago. The U.S. beef cattle herd is fairly small by historic standards, so the amount of beef we’re producing is less than it was five years ago, and that has the effect of higher beef prices.”

“The High Cost of Groceries: Experts Weigh in”
By: Civil Eats – September 25, 2024
“What’s Driving High Food Prices? Dwindling supply plus rising demand. Several factors caused supplies to sink. During the pandemic, people rushed into stores and cleaned out the shelves, throwing suppliers into a tailspin. Then, in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, leading to a global shortage of wheat, vegetable oils, and other grains. There were also export restrictions on staples such as palm oil, leading to price increases. On top of this, significant drought in the U.S. affected beef prices, and a multiyear avian flu impacted commercial poultry and eggs. All of these shortages caused prices to spike.”
