“Takeout Sticker Shock”
By: Next Avenue – January 22, 2025
“We hear a lot about inflation slowing down or it being lower, but lower inflation doesn't mean lower prices; lower inflation means prices go up less quickly.

“Can Washington’s Farms Survive? Labor Shortages and Deportation Fears Threaten Agriculture”
By: The Wenatchee World – January 15, 2025
“The real issue is there’s this relatively small labor supply, and if mass deportation occurs, that’s going to shrink the labor supply further. Simple supply and demand tells us that’s going to drive the wage rate up. Even without this mass deportation, growers have been struggling to figure out ways to get around the labor issue. This is just going to make it worse.”
"Many of these workers who originally filled essential agricultural roles are aging out of the physically intensive work, while others who settled in the U.S. seek year-round, higher-paying jobs in other industries. This decline in available labor has created a stark imbalance as agricultural demands grow, especially with modern high-density planting techniques requiring more intensive care.”

“AgriLife: Egg Prices Continue to Climb”
By: Marshall News Messenger – January 25, 2025
“Egg prices have skyrocketed to record highs due to ongoing supply disruptions caused by HPAI outbreaks in commercial laying flocks… There is seasonality to egg prices based on demand, but the cutting of supplies, in this case by disease, has driven prices higher. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go higher in the next report, but there is price volatility when you consider the supply and demand factors in play.”

“Ukraine Farmers Resilient in War’s Shadow”
By: Agrinews – January 29, 2025
“Ukraine’s economy has been hit hard. It’s gross domestic product is still 22% below 2021 levels, and recovery to pre-war levels could take up to five years, even if the war ended today. Before the conflict, Ukraine was a major player in global agriculture, exporting grains like corn, wheat and vegetable oils to countries across Europe, Asia and Africa. But moving forward to the current marketing year, Ukraine’s grain and oilseed production is expected to drop to 74 million tons, 10% lower than the previous year.”
“Preliminary estimates indicate that the war in Ukraine has caused $80 billion in damages and losses to the agricultural sector. This includes $10 billion in damaged assets, with 57% attributed to machinery and equipment, and $70 billion in losses, largely from lost revenue and increased costs due to the conflict.”

“Tariffs on Canadian and Mexican Imports: The Impact on Agriculture”
By: Morning Ag Clips - January 29, 2025
“The new presidential administration has raised the possibility of enacting tariffs, leading many to ask us how tariffs work and how they will affect agriculture. The tariff power is one of those topics that might have us reaching back to the last civics or government class we took and raising some questions. For example, what is the source of tariff authority, when can the government levy a tariff, and how does the tariff process play out?”

“Colorado Farmers Not Worried About Mass Deportations Affecting State’s $47 Billion Agriculture Industry”
By: Daily Record – January 32, 2025
“Industry watchers here are closely monitoring California, where migrant workers in the Central Valley have stopped showing up for work due to deportation fears, virtually halting the area’s citrus harvest. Leaders in the Bay Area have similar concerns about their harvest. They’re not going to show up for work and that means crops will remain in the field and not be harvested and probably lost at that point.”

“Here's How the Egg Shortage is Impacting Arkansas”
By: THV11 – January 30, 2025
“In 2022, we had high pathogen, avian influenza, bird flu, come into the US again. Since that time, we've had something like 108 million birds that are impacted. Farmers have to reduce the bird population to prevent the spread to other birds and even humans. What we're seeing right now is the implications of higher bird flu counts. So those birds that are out of the system, they're not producing eggs.”
