Ricky Volpe, California Polytechnic State University “Don’t Fear the Digital Price Tag “ By: The Hill – October 5, 2026 “A half century ago, consumer groups fought the use of bar code scanners in grocery stores over concerns that they would make it easier to rip people off and charge higher prices. There was even a concern that the laser would burn people.“ (Continued...) Paul Mitchell, University of Wisconsin-Madison “Diesel Prices Are Hitting Record Highs at a Bad Time for Many U.S. Farmers” By: Agrinews – September 27, 2026 “Those prices hurt… And it’s not just the harvesting. It’s the hauling of everything, moving the grain or the silage from the field to the farm and then from the farm to wherever they’re selling it.” (Continued...) Amelia Finaret, Allegheny College “Changes to SNAP Benefits Are in Effect. Here's How Pennsylvanians Could Be Impacted” By: CBS News – October 1, 2026 "There are new rules about work requirements, and there are new rules about reporting on people's utility bills and their rental and housing costs. These new restrictions will make it more difficult to navigate the program and will likely cost countless families their benefits. Currently, more than 1.7 million Pennsylvanians take part in SNAP.” (Continued...) Kenneth Foster, Purdue University “Cattle to Feed: Why a Global Meat Crisis is Looming” By: Dominican Republic Post – Septembe 28, 2026 “Cattle production is constrained by biological supply cycles. It can take a couple of years for a producer who receives a signal from the market to expand production and actually see the resulting animals enter the beef supply. The quickest way to rebuild a herd is to keep female cattle that might otherwise have been sold and use them for breeding. That is what Brazil is now doing.” (Continued...) Gregory Ibendahl, Kansas State University “K‑State Agricultural Economist: Diesel Prices Could Remain Figh For Years” By: The Fence Post – September 28, 2026 “While part of the increase in diesel prices can be traced to higher crude oil prices, the larger driver is a global shortage of diesel fuel. The price of oil has gone from the low to mid-$70s to more than $100 a barrel, and that probably explains about 70 cents of the increase per gallon. But diesel is up more than that. The rest is really because there just isn’t enough diesel fuel in the world right now.” (Continued...) Sunghun Lim, Iowa State University
Michael Langemeier, Purdue University
Barry Ward, The Ohio State University “Business Management Expert Urges Farmers to Focus on Liquidity And Cost Control Heading into 2027” By: Brownfield – September 30, 2026 “We’ve got elevated cost structures that we’re not going to be able to avoid. Fertilizer, fuel prices, machinery and equipment, cash rents, they’re all elevated. It’s really going to create some challenges for farmers trying to find some profitability.” (Continued...) Claudia Schmidt, Pennsylvania State University “Corn Mazes, Apple Picking, and Hayrides: More Farms Are Leaning into "Agritourism"” By: Marketplace – September 30, 2026 “Agriculture prices are going down, there are issues with weather, and also input costs are rising. Diesel prices are in the news at the moment.” (Continued...) Eric Belasco, Montana State University “High Diesel Prices Squeeze Montana Farmers” By: Europe Says – October 2, 2026 “For Montana’s agricultural producers, the immediate impact is often a tighter profit margin. Farmers can’t simply stop running combines and other diesel-powered equipment when prices rise. And because they sell into competitive commodity markets. Individual producers have limited ability to raise prices to compensate for higher input costs.” (Continued...) Alexis Villacis, The Ohio State University "Falling Cocoa Prices Offer Little Relief for Halloween Candy Shoppers" By: Morning AgClips - October 7, 2026 “Record spending does not necessarily mean stronger consumer demand or a more generous Halloween. It can also reflect households paying more to preserve a tradition while adjusting what they purchase.” (Continued...) Ian Sheldon, The Ohio State University
Ani Katchova, The Ohio State University "Ohio Farmers Weigh Better Crop Outlook Against Cost Pressures" By: Morning AgClips - September 20, 2026 “High grain prices and favorable yields offer some relief, but costs rising." (Continued...) Gabriel Lade, The Ohio State University
Ken Foster, Purdue University "Cattle to feed: Why a global meat crisis is looming" By: Al Jazeera- September 28, 2026 "Cattle production is constrained by biological supply cycles, Kenneth Foster, professor of agricultural economics at Purdue University, told Al Jazeera. It can take a couple of years for a producer who receives a signal from the market to expand production and actually see the resulting animals enter the beef supply. The quickest way to rebuild a herd is to keep female cattle that might otherwise have been sold and use them for breeding. That is what Brazil is now doing." (Continued...) Berhard Dalheimer, Purdue University "U.S. Diesel Prices Just Surpassed a Record $6 Per Gallon. Here Are Three Ways That Affects You" By: Time - September 11, 2026 “The goods that need lots of refrigeration and are on long routes of transport that are perishable, so the vegetables, meat and dairy, those are more exposed to [diesel costs],” Bernhard Dalheimer, assistant professor in food economics at Purdue University, tells TIME.
