“Iowa Farmers Warn Save Our Bacon Act Could Lead to More Farm Consolidation”
By: Iowa Starting Line – September 10, 2026

“California Grows a Third of the Nation's Vegetables — Here's What a Labor Squeeze Really Costs”
By: Latin Times – September 18, 2026
“The dollar figure getting the most attention traces back to a single piece of modeling. Agricultural economist Zachariah Rutledge, working with the advocacy campaign Grow It Here, built a formula linking farm employment to crop prices and concluded that a nationwide 10% drop in farm labor would push prices for roughly $115 billion worth of specialty crops up by about 3% — close to $3.4 billion out of shoppers' pockets. It's a projection of what could happen, not evidence that farm employment has actually fallen by that much. Citrus and avocado grower Lisa Tate, who joined the same briefing, put the long-term risk this way: labor gaps quietly weaken our resilience of our food system.”

“How the Restaurant Burger Went From Cheap Indulgence to Luxury Meal”
By: Yahoo! Life – September 16, 2026
“Beef consumption per person has remained broadly flat for several years, between 55 and 57 pounds a year, though consumption has dropped by more than a third since 1976, when Americans ate 89 pounds annually, according to the Agriculture Department. The flat rate is still notable, given the sharp increase in price. The whole point of higher prices is to ration consumption of a product. We definitely see that in the marketplace where there are certain consumers that would rather not spend that many dollars on their beef consumption."
