“But Report Still Lists Income at Third Highest Level Since 2013”
By: High Plains Journal – November 1, 2024
”I don’t see the past financial levers available to income-strapped producers like there has been the past decade. For one, there is no sign of trade/pandemic emergency payments to farmers like we saw 2018 through 2022.

“‘More Manure Means More Energy’: Iowa Dairies With Biogas Digesters Are Growing Their Herds, Which Concerns Water Quality Advocates”
By: The Gazette - November 3, 2024
“Digester revenue has been substantially higher than the value to society of prevented methane emissions. This means that society is overpaying for these methane reductions.

“Economist Recommends Farmers Ask Landlords For Lower Cash Rent Prices in 2025”
By: DRG News – October 29, 2024
“So, just to give you a feel, we are projecting for Illinois FBFM farms something below $30,000 of net income for 2024. Cash rents went up from 2020 to 2025 by an average of about $40 in the state. So we’re beginning to see a retrenchment. A $25 reduction will help. It won’t get us back to the profitability levels, but it’s a start in that direction.“
