Economic conditions in Midwest agriculture have fluctuated significantly in recent years, with an increasing focus on managing costs and inputs in a lower price environment. Anyone interested in these topics should consider participating in a conference at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago on December 3 to explore how the use of inputs might be changing in this environment.

Let us guess, you’re wondering how that will be possible? While it may be shocking, it’s true. Studies are showing an enormous increase in our population by 2050 and more people mean more food. But here’s the thing - farmers are losing farmland and they are being hit with more regulation, labor shortages and of course diminishing resources. This is where the innovation, efficiency and resourcefulness farmers have displayed for generations will come into play. Farmers are built to overcome challenges and persevere. Pacific Ag Rentals is committed to partnering with American farmers to find real solutions to supply and demand by ensuring they have access to the technology and machinery to get the job done.

There is no end to the number of pithy quotes about being wasteful, so we will stick with the answer from our research team... ANSWER: First, we are not trying to displace annual cover cropping systems – farmers who do annual cover cropping can and should continue their annual cover cropping practices. That said, in the #Midwest, more than 90% of the production landscape is not cover-cropped. We need approaches that are low-barrier-to-entry and will be taken up at scale. We think PGC could be one such approach and believe that the ecosystem service benefits of a low-yielding perennial groundcover justify the further development of this system.

Today, I had the privilege of attending the Washington State Ag Viability Conference hosted by the WSDA and Washington State University. First off, a shameless plug and shout out to AgForestry Leadership program! Throughout the day alumni were on the stage demonstrating inclusive leadership. Way to go AgForestry alumni! The day was filled with important insights many underscoring the staggering challenges faced by ag producers while still others reminded us of the passion and tenacity of farmers. Did you know that Washington State is home to over 300 different commodities, contributing a staggering $21 billion to our economy? Yakima County leads the charge as the top county for agricultural production. Washington is the most trade-driven economy in the nation. Another stat shared was that in Washington we are three times more likely to know a farmer. Sadly, that may change as the most recent census showed we’re losing farms annually. I wish I could say a solution for solving the imbalance of costs of production to grower returns was found. However there are small things we each can do to impact agriculture viability today - communicate with lawmakers, collaborate with neighbors, work with industry associations, and promote the stories of farmers who are working hard to feed the world. Thank you to the organizers of todays event and each of the speakers! #Agriculture #WashingtonState #Farming #AgEconomy

We want to change the way people think about agriculture and the common beliefs associated with it. Agriculture has often been seen as work only for those without other job options, older individuals, or people from rural areas. We are bringing forward a new idea: Agriculture can be a smart and eco-friendly path to financial independence while also taking care of our planet. follow IDEAL FARMERS LTD today for more updates about the next edition of the Ideal Farmers Youth Recognition Award (IFYRA). #IFYRA #Idealfarmers #Agriculture #Farming
