Boo! Even Halloween isn’t safe from inflation...

This year, more than half of Americans say they’re cutting back on Halloween spending, even though the average household still plans to shell out nearly $300 on candy, costumes, and decorations. 😱

Farm families know the feeling, when prices rise, creativity kicks in. 👻
Are you reusing costumes? DIY’ing your porch pumpkins? Or keeping the candy bowl a little lighter this year? 🍬😅

A major incident on a mink farm in Iowa has raised serious concerns. One or more intruders broke into a facility near Woodbine, Iowa and released approximately 2,000 mink, an act that the trade group Fur Commission USA is calling a “terrorist act” under federal law.

🔍 Why this matters to you:

🔹The released mink are likely to face survival challenges in the wild, hungry, exposed, and without shelter.

🔹The event underscores potential risks to animal enterprises, infrastructure, and the broader ag system.

🔹This incident could trigger tighter security, regulation debates, and increased liability for farms across sectors.

🌾🔍 2026 Ag Outlook Alert: What Every Producer Needs to Know

With 2025 crop bins overflowing, softening prices, and borrowing costs still historically high, the path into 2026 for farmers and ranchers will be anything but simple. Here's what’s driving the dynamics:

🔹Corn production is projected at 16.8 billion bushels, signalling a ~10% jump, while soybeans and wheat shrink.

🔹USDA-outlook prices: corn around $3.90, soybeans $10.00, wheat $5.10 — meaning margins are under pressure unless yields or local conditions offer relief.

🔹Land values are holding, but growth is cooling: Cropland rose ~4.7% in 2025; pasture up ~4.9%. Yet borrowing costs still hover well above historical norms.

🔹Storage, basis, logistics, and crush economics are becoming just as important as futures board prices.

👉 Producers must shift focus from just “volume + price” to cash-flow discipline, basis management, and local economics.

🚨🍽️ Headline for the Ag Community:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that no federal food-aid payments will be issued on November 1 amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) supports roughly 1 in 8 Americans, including many in rural and farming communities — this pause could ripple across the food and agriculture system.

🌾 Why this matters to agriculture:
-Farmers and producers rely on stable food-aid programs to maintain demand for commodities and livestock.
-Grocery stores-to-farm supply chains could face disruptions if recipients can’t access benefits.
-Rural areas with limited food access and fewer alternative options may feel the impact first—and hardest.
-Farm policy, nutrition programs, and food-security are interconnected more than ever.

A stark reminder of the risks faced by farmers worldwide:

Bernardo Bravo, the president of the Apatzingan Valley Citrus Producers Association in Mexico’s lime-growing region of Michoacán, has been found murdered after repeatedly speaking out about cartel extortion targeting growers.

Despite a federal deployment of troops to protect producers, Bravo continued to denounce criminal groups’ “permanent commercial hijacking” of agriculture.

👉 Why this matters to the ag community:
-Growers aren’t just facing market risk — they’re under physical threat when they push back.
-Crop value isn’t just about price; it’s about safety of harvest, distribution, and freedom to operate.
-The ripple effect hits every link in the chain: from field to packer to marketplace.

🎃🍬 Sweet treat, sour share, farmers aren’t getting much of the candy pie!

This Halloween, Americans are expected to spend $3.9 billion on candy, up from $3.6 billion last year.

Yet the farmers who grow the sugar for these treats are getting less: the average retail price of candy rose 19%, while the cost of sugar in those treats fell 33%.

Behind every bag of fun-sized chocolates is a sugarcane or sugar beet farmer getting squeezed.

🔍 Let’s talk about why this matters:

-Farmers face skyrocketing costs for planting, harvesting and processing, but their share keeps dropping.
-It illustrates how the ag supply chain can stack up against farmers, even when overall consumer spending is climbing.
-For every Halloween indulgence, there’s a farmer whose work is hidden behind that packaging.

The debate over beef imports is heating up 🔥

Several major ag organizations — including the American Farm Bureau Federation, National Farmers Union, and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association — are speaking out against a proposal to expand U.S. beef imports from Argentina.

The administration says more imports could help lower prices for consumers, but ranchers warn it could undercut U.S. producers, increase uncertainty, and weaken our domestic beef supply chain.

With the U.S. cattle herd already at historic lows, many in the industry say the focus should be on strengthening American production, ensuring country-of-origin labeling transparency, and creating fairer markets — not relying on foreign beef.

It’s a question weighing on ranchers nationwide. Despite strong consumer demand and sky-high beef prices, the U.S. cattle herd has fallen to its lowest level in over 70 years.

So what’s driving the decline?
🌾 Persistent drought and high input costs forcing herd liquidations
🚜 Land and feed competition making rebuilding difficult
🌎 Rising beef imports and processing consolidation squeezing domestic producers

In this Op-Ed, R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard breaks down how market concentration, trade dynamics, and policy gaps are reshaping the cattle industry — and what it could mean for America’s independent ranchers.
