Highlights
  • A Weird Trade War Rages Between India and the Pacific Northwest Over Apples

    In March of 2019, the Trump administration ended India’s status as a beneficiary of the American system known as Generalized System of Preferences. The action seems to have been in retaliation to India not providing, in the Trump administration’s view, enough access for American business in India. In response, reports Capital Press, the Washington State Department of Agriculture worked quickly to create a non-GMO label for apples everyone knows aren’t genetically modified, in order for Washington growers to sell their apples with a gigantic 70-percent tariff to India. It is not a situation that Washington apple producers are particularly happy about, and Capital Press says that growers are hoping that the new Biden administration will work with the Indian government to come up with some solution that benefits both sides.

  • Why Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Could Be a ‘Big F**king Deal’ for American Farmers

    Dubbed the American Jobs Plan, the eight-year spending proposal promises to modernize 20,000 miles of roads, repair 10,000 bridges and improve the drinking water in 400,000 schools and child-care facilities, among myriad other improvements to the built environment in the United States. Lost time along the way from congestion and other delays is lost money for farmers in the short term and lost market share in the long term, which is why groups such as the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association have been pushing Biden to improve rural transportation networks since he took office. The more noticeable impact on farmers’ everyday lives, meanwhile, would be the $100 billion that Biden wants to spend bringing affordable broadband internet service to every American, including the estimated 35 percent of whom currently lack reliable access. But general support for rural broadband isn’t the same as specific support for Biden’s plan, particularly given that it is nested inside his larger multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure effort

  • Coffee Supplies Are Down. Could Prices Rise in Response?

    Marvin G. Perez at Bloomberg reports that coffee supplies have hit a six-year low, with wholesale prices rising, and it’s unclear whether a cleared Suez Canal will fix what ails the industry. In 2020, favorable weather conditions in Brazil, the world’s largest producer of coffee, led to a massive crop. Perez reports that shipments from South America have been throttled by the ship blockage in the Suez Canal, with shipping costs rising by as much as 200 percent owing to the increased difficulty and cost of marine shipping. Perez says that coffee supplies hit a six-year low and, given Brazil’s drought, may not adequately recover this year.

  • The Latest Battle for Legal Cannabis: Delta-8

    It’s most often created from cannabidiol, or CBD, a compound in industrial hemp that achieved some level of popularity owing to its legal status, but which doesn’t provide the high that THC does. The 2018 Farm Bill contains a note that “synthetically derived tetrahydrocannabinols” are illegal, but that was probably written to refer to drugs such as Spice and K2, which are essentially neutral plants (such as mint or tea) sprinkled with a lab-created drug that stimulates some of the same parts of the brain as THC does. Delta-8, on the other hand, is not exactly synthetically created; it’s usually created from CBD, which is a fully legal plant-based isolate. In the meantime: Just know that, while Delta-8 isn’t exactly illegal, it’s not exactly legal either, and more importantly, nobody knows whether it’s safe or what a proper dose is.

  • Farmland-as-Commodity Trend Is Boxing Out Farmers

    But Gates, despite some interests in food technology, was simply doing what wealthy investors have been doing, in increasing volume, for years: treating farmland as a commodity, a particularly rock-solid investment that can be flipped later for a profit. In Iowa, finds a study by Iowa State University, an acre of cropland gained 1.7 percent in value just in 2020—and that’s with food systems massively disrupted. The chief problem is a farmer’s inability to control, or often even own, their own land, which puts a tremendous amount of control in the hands of a person or entity that is not farming that land. These landlords, many of which are simply investors or investment groups, can raise rent prices to the point where farmers can’t make a profit, because the value of the land continues to increase.

  • Australian Farmers Struggle Through a Plague of Mice

    Although much of the interior of the country is too arid for large-scale farming, Australia’s southern coastal states, both on the east and west, are significant producers of livestock (especially cattle and sheep) and wheat. It’s unclear exactly what the damage is in terms of yield or dollars, but it’s certain to be severe, especially on the wheat crop. Floods aren’t uncommon this time of year, but the level is worrying: Some parts of New South Wales are experiencing rainfall levels not seen in a century. This amount of water will saturate the soil nicely for at least a year; it’s likely that the next year’s wheat and cotton crops will be excellent—at least, if the mice don’t come back.

  • What If Crop Insurers Tied Policies to Soil Health?

    The researchers looked into the effects of soil organic matter—essentially, decomposing plant matter—on yield during drought for maize crops, which happen to be especially vulnerable to drought (and also a massive segment of crop insurance). They found that adding a single percent of soil organic matter to maize crops has massively positive effects, including increased yields (about 35 bushels per acre) and, most importantly, decreased vulnerability to drought. In farms that had that extra percent of soil organic matter, the researchers calculated, insurance liabilities under extreme drought conditions would be decreased by 36 percent. There’s also the element that increasing the soil organic matter content, and improving soil health generally, is simply a positive thing for a farm to do; it reduces the amount of water and fertilizer needed, stores carbon in the ground and improves the health of the local biosystem.

    Barack Obama Honors His Late Grandmother's Remarkable Life: "We Will Miss Her Dearly"

    My family and I are mourning the loss of our beloved grandmother, Sarah Ogwel Onyango Obama, affectionately known to many as 'Mama Sarah' but known to us as 'Dani' or Granny," he captioned the post, before describing her life in Alego, Kenya. There she raised eight children, tended to her goats and chickens, grew an assortment of crops, and took what the family didn't use to sell at the local open-air market. When I first traveled to Kenya to learn more about my heritage and father, who had passed away by then, it was Granny who served as a bridge to the past, and it was her stories that helped fill a void in my heart," he shared. "During the course of her life, Granny would witness epochal changes taking place around the globe: world war, liberation movements, moon landings, and the advent of the computer age.

    Janelle Monáe's NAACP Image Awards Gown Commands Attention With That Side Cutout

    Janelle Monáe looked absolutely incredible in her gown at the NAACP Image Awards on Saturday night. We love that the dress came with a sexy side cutout on her hip and a long train that added a dramatic effect. Janelle joined the likes of Cynthia Erivo, who delivered when it came to her red carpet look for the NAACP Image Awards wearing a stunning Lanvin creation. Some actresses opted for comfort but didn't skimp out on the glam in cozy looks, like Yara Shahidi in her Dior pajama-inspired outfit.

    Michelle Obama's Tip For Increasing Confidence Is Something Every Young Woman Should Hear

    Michelle Obama dished out some valuable advice for young women during her candid Q&A for POPSUGAR's Girl Talk: I wish I knew that there were other kids from around the country that were away from home for the first time or were feeling unsure or uncertain, because when you go to college you think you're the only one that feels that way I want you to tell yourself, that in every class, whether you come prepared with a question or you think of it there, that you are going to raise your hand and say something.
