American Farm Bureau Federation recently announced the launch of Market Intel, a new series of market intelligence reports available online and on Twitter (@FBMarketIntel). Market Intel provides timely market intelligence on the agricultural economy for farmers, ranchers, lawmakers and consumers, according to American Farm Bureau.
“Soybeans Trumping Corn in 18 States” by AFBF’s Dr. John Newton, was the first Market Intel report in the new series. It features insights on the implications of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Prospective Plantings and Grain Stocks reports.
“Our aim with Market Intel is to analyze current events in agriculture – related to both crops and livestock – through an economic lens,” said Newton, AFBF’s director of market intelligence. “The timely market intelligence on the agricultural economy that we provide will be useful for farmers, lawmakers and consumers. Farmers and ranchers will find Market Intel to be a useful decision-making resource for marketing and planting.”
Led by AFBF Chief Economist Dr. Bob Young, a trio of economists at AFBF will share the latest on today’s agricultural market intelligence through regular Market Intel updates.
Newton earned his doctorate in agricultural economics at The Ohio State University and focuses on agricultural commodity markets, risk management and farm bill programs; economist Katelyn McCullock holds a master’s in agricultural economics from Colorado State University and specializes in economic analysis of animal health and welfare, organic standards for livestock and livestock and dairy markets; and economist Veronica Nigh holds a master’s in economics from American University and analyzes how shifts in policy related to international trade, environmental issues, transportation, labor, food safety and taxes affect the agricultural economy.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
