- Rabobank Research Examines Trade War Implications for Soybeans
US soybean acres and farmgate prices could suffer in the event of another trade war with China, according to new research from Rabobank. A renewed trade war would potentially lower US farmgate prices by US$1.50 to $2/bu and reduce American soybean planted area by up to 5 million acres, the research shows. With current US farmgate soybean prices already weak, now hovering around $10/bu or below, the worst-case scenario could drag values down to near their mid-2019 low of about $8 during the first trade war. Meanwhile, a loss of 5 million acres from the 87.1 million planted to soybeans in 2024 would represent a fall of about 6%. If accurate, that would be a much more modest fall than in 2019, when planted area tumbled more than 13 million acres or 14.6% from the previous year to 76.1 million.

The ag sector is hoping to see more progress on that with a good snowpack over winter helping to balance that moisture deficit. Daryl Harrison, Saskatchewan's Minister of Agriculture, talks about the province's economic fortunes over 2024. "I think more moisture-wise, some of our dryer pockets have seen some more moisture and our drought area certainly shrunk. There's certainly dry areas remaining out there and with our snowpack that we've received so far this winter, I think it's very optimistic that we're seeing the drought years behind us. We still need some spring rains to help enhance both the grass and hayland, but also prepare for spring seeding." Harrison himself farms in the southeast corner and says he saw a great year in that area. "Crop wise it… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.13 hours ago

CNN’s Abby Phillip lauded President-elect Donald Trump for being “incredibly gracious” about the late President Jimmy Carter following his passing. Trump attended Carter’s funeral on Thursday with President Joe Biden, former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and others. He was even seen at one point chumming it up with Obama — whom he was seated next to. During coverage of the funeral, Phillip was discussing that each president at the funeral has to be thinking about how they too will have similarly big sendoffs like Carter, and then she singled out Trump as “incredibly gracious” about Carter recently, partly chalking it up to him surviving his own near-death experience last year. Phillip said: All of those men there have gone through the planning process. All of those men there have thought about it. I think particularly of President Trump, who I think surprised a lot… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.13 hours ago - Jesse Watters Uses Photo of Female LA Firefighters to Make Bizarre Criticism About Fire Department: ...Jesse Watters used a photo of a trio of female Los Angeles firefighters to criticize the city’s fire department and its supposed emphasis on diversity initiatives. Fires continue to displace thousands of residents in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, beginning first in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood before spreading to other parts of the region. On Wednesday night, the wildfires made it to Studio City and the Hollywood Hills. As this was going on, the Fox News host argued that diversity initiatives were in a contributing factor in the disaster — suggesting the fire department has prioritized inclusion over fire safety. On Jesse Watters Primetime, Watters first took aim at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for being out of the country during the disaster to attend a presidential inauguration in Ghana. Then, he turned his attention to fire department. “So who else is running things?” Watters asked. Then, a… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.13 hours ago
