🚨🍽️ 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.

Got land near power infrastructure? A new Cornell University study finds farmland within two miles of transmission lines or substations in New York surged 15-18% in value after large-scale solar policy took off.

While that’s great for sellers, the flip side: higher land prices can make entry for new farmers tougher and reduce tillable acres, a trade-off for the renewable boom.

Tune in if you’re a landowner, farmer or ag professional, because the solar-land value connection might reshape your farm’s future.

🌲 Christmas Tree Growers See Steady Market Outlook for 2025

According to a recent survey of 43 wholesale growers, 84% say they won’t increase wholesale prices this upcoming season, despite modest input cost jumps.

Growers expect stable demand, reliable supply, and confidence that consumers will still find the tree they want without shortages.

🎄 What this means:

-Real tree growers are absorbing cost pressures to maintain pricing stability
-Homeowners may continue to see similar retail prices
-The industry remains optimistic heading into the holiday season

Beyond Meat, once a high-flying star in the plant-based protein field, is now trading below $1 amid investor concerns. The company is trying to fight back by cutting debt, offering to extend maturities and issuing new shares, but that move risks diluting current shareholders.

📉 From a year-to-date 73% drop to weak U.S. demand, the challenges are mounting.

🔍 What this means for agriculture:

-Plant-based alternatives are under pressure as consumer interest wanes
-Beef, dairy, and conventional ag sectors may find renewed footing
-Innovation and market differentiation will be more critical than ever
