“Report Finds Wisconsin Agriculture Revenue on the Rise, Up Nearly 11 Percent From 2017”
By: NPR – November 26, 2024
“We take a pretty holistic picture of what we consider agriculture and that includes everything from the raw production of the product on farm to all the way to delivering it to the consumer. Farm activity is about $30 billion of industrial revenue and food processing is like $107 billion.”
“While revenues are up, the number of agriculture jobs are down and the number of farms are down. Meanwhile, the amount of production is staying the same. This is likely a result of consolidation and farm technology.”

“How Do Tariffs Work and Will Trump's Plan Cause Inflation?”
By: Newsweek - November 26, 2024
“Tariffs raise the price of the imported good, thereby discouraging consumers from purchasing the now higher priced import good and, in the process, steering demand toward domestically produced substitute goods. A tariff raises revenue for the government and, generally speaking, the objective of a tariff is to protect one or more sectors of the domestic economy.”

By: Brownfield – November 6, 2024
“specialty crop producers have become more reliant on H-2A visas to secure their workforce. Wages are becoming cost-prohibitive.
Our region is significantly impacted by any differences in labor trends, especially in terms of labor scarcity and rising wages because our farmers rely so heavily upon labor for their production practices.”

“Will Robots Replace Herbicides?”
By: Seed World – November 24, 2024
“The exclusive reliance on herbicides for weed control has led to the appearance of superweeds, and we don’t have anything in the pipeline in terms of new modes of action. If chemical control methods fail, it could result in millions of dollars per year in crop losses.”

By: Farm Week Now – November 25, 2024
“Probably the No. 1 question I’ve been getting is, are we going to have enough food? It’s out there, but not necessarily in the form we want. That’s bad for farmers, but at least on the consumer side, it’s somewhat comforting.”

“Trump’s Tariff Threat Could Shake North American Trade Relations and Upend Agri-Food Trade”
By: The Conversation – November 13, 2024
“The U.S. is the world’s largest exporter of agricultural products. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), agricultural exports generated US$197 billion in revenue in 2022 and support more than 1.25 million jobs annually.
Any trade war targeting agri-food products would have significant adverse effects on the U.S. agricultural sector, jeopardizing both revenue and employment. This risk is heightened by the fact that retaliatory tariffs often target agricultural products from American states that support Trump.”

“Avocado Prices Set To Soar Because of Trump Tariffs”
By: Newsweek – November 28, 2024
"The U.S. is the dominant export destination for Mexican avocados. With any tariff, a portion of it will be borne by suppliers, in this case by Mexican shippers, and a portion borne by buyers—retailers and consumers.”
“Americans will likely have to pay more for an avocado in grocery stores as well as higher prices in restaurants for dishes that include the popular fruit if the tariffs are imposed. I would expect the retail price to consumers to rise by a bit more in dollar terms as implied by the tariff.”
