Senate Ag Chair John Boozman, R-Ark., tells Agri-Pulse that farmers are relying on Congress to pass a long overdue farm bill this year.
“Family farmers contending with numerous challenges to their viability cannot afford another farm bill delay," Boozman said on Wednesday.
"Producers and rural communities are counting on us to deliver the predictability, certainty and support that a modernized farm bill provides. Congress has the opportunity to show them we understand how urgently they need these critical updates, and I remain committed to helping get them signed into law this year.”

This is amazing. In case you weren’t aware, onion futures trading has been banned in the US since 1958.
In the 50s, two traders cornered the onion market, then dumped their supply to crash prices while betting against them.
Onion prices fell 96%, devastating farmers, so congress responded by banning onion futures trading, and the ban remains in place today.
I actually bought an onion future in a yellow onion a couple of months ago via the San Francisco Onion Futures Company and look forward to my delivery next month

Where there’s an arb, there’s a way.
1.852B lbs of UCO + tallow imports in two months.
45Z clarity. A 50% Canadian UCO tariff. EPA changing the math again.
Record mandates don’t guarantee soybean oil wins—or U.S. gallons stay here.

Farmers and truckers across the country have been feeling the strain of higher diesel prices at a costly time of year, as the fall harvest keeps combines, tractors and trucks running for hours at a time.

JP Morgan are saying this month pipelines and refineries start shutting down. Absolute energy apocalypse. It will take years to get back to normal. 🛢️📈📈📈
BREAKING: World oil inventories are projected to hit their operational floor of 6.8 billion barrels this month if the Strait of Hormuz stays shut, per JPMorgan.
Below this level, pipelines can't maintain pressure and refineries start failing, regardless of what price oil is trading at.
This would mark the first time in recorded history the world has had to worry about physical oil availability, not just price.

This is one of the things I love most about ag. When one of their own needs help, farm communities show up. No questions asked. They just show up.
Prayers for the Cotton family.
Farmers helping farmers. Growers across our #HillsboroFactory district harvested more than 420 acres of sugarbeets Wednesday for fellow grower Bill Cotton, who is fighting stage 4 brain cancer. Around 80 trucks, 14 harvesters, and 11 toppers showed up. #Harvest26
