By: Newsweek – September 16, 2026

“We need diesel for farm machinery and equipment. Obviously we're approaching harvest time, and you need diesel to run harvesters and combines. We need diesel to run planters,” he said. “The entire farm machinery process, whether it's planting to harvest, requires diesel fuel directly.”

“Astronomy, Materials Science Awards Plummet at NSF”

By: AIP– September 9, 2026

"Even if the low funding proves temporary, the uncertainty makes it more difficult for researchers to cope, said Joshua Rosenbloom, a professor at Iowa State University who studies the economics of science. “If people view what’s changing as a temporary deviation, then they have more capability to bridge various things, because they understand that stability is important,” Rosenbloom said. “But in a world where what you have done is create a degree of uncertainty — is this a one-off or is this a true change in direction, and what is the destination? — then it becomes harder for people to justify digging into their pockets and spending some of what they have squirreled away as rainy-day money.”"

Chobani's Lehigh Valley plans are a ‘huge' win for Pa. farmers, could reverse decades of declines"

By: Mahoning Matters– September 13, 2026

“Chobani said they won’t begin production until 2027 and that isn’t going to be the year that they hit that 3-billion-pound mark," she said. "It’s going to be a bit of a ramp-up, so you take baby steps to get up to full production. I think that we have time to shift things around to match supply and demand.”
