Wheat harvest in Wichita area smashing last year’s production. SEDGWICK COUNTY, Kan. (KWCH) - With Mother Nature for the most part cooperating with beneficial rain totals and dry, clear days to roll equipment into the fields, the 2024 wheat harvest in south central Kansas is off to a strong start. Some farmers in south-central Kansas are hauling in record-high yields, smashing last year’s average by more than 60 bushels per acre (4 Tons Per Hectare). https://lnkd.in/gsxQrGWR

INVL Baltic Farmland, a company that invests in agricultural land, had revenue of EUR 200,000 and an unaudited net profit of EUR 113,000 in the first quarter of this year. The figures are 5.3% more and 5% less, respectively, than in the same period last year. INVL Baltic Farmland’s equity at the end of March 2024 was EUR 18.4 million, or EUR 5.70 per share. Compared to the end of March 2023, equity per share grew 16.8%. “The situation in farmers’ fields is currently favourable. Crops overwintered well and the spring weather has not done any significant harm. Therefore, a good cereal harvest is expected in 2024, assuming there are no weather anomalies in the country that could adversely affect the coming harvest,” says Justė Gumovskienė, the director of INVL Farmland Management, which administers INVL Baltic Farmland’s land. “Still, it is thought that cereal prices will remain volatile until geopolitical and trade policy issues are resolved. The weather and the upcoming harvest are expected to be among the decisive factors influencing grain market prices across Europe,” she adds.

From “Regenerative Finance – What If Lenders Had to Consider Soil a Depreciating Asset” The author, Lauren Manning, puts the problem in context: “Here’s just one example: the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service estimates that Iowa alone has lost 6.8 inches of topsoil since 1850, which harms agriculture yields to the tune of 10 fewer bushels of corn per acre. Meanwhile, the Iowa Daily Erosion Project estimates that soil loss is costing Iowa corn growers as much as 29 bushels per acre on highly erodible land. Overall, the price tag for Iowa’s ongoing soil loss has cost producers in the state an estimated $ 1 billion in revenue. Currently government policy has not only ignored this sleeping giant of a problem, it’s condoned it. The USDA maintains a metric called T, which refers to the amount of soil loss that is tolerable on a farm. Producers have largely offset yield reductions due to soil loss and poor soil health by applying more nitrogen fertilizer and choosing different biotechnology-derived seed varieties – short-term fixes that do not solve the long-term underlying problem.” To visit family, I take a 12-hour adventure on Highway 83 from San Antonio, Texas, to Garden City, Kansas. West of Garden City is where I farmed and ranched with my Dad and Grandpa before graduating from college. Determined to see a new landscape, on the way home to Texas, I took the backroads, which took me parallel to 83, but about 60-70 miles west. It was late September – when milo and corn are harvested, and winter wheat planting begins. Every farmer was equipping their planter with a tank of fertilizer behind. A memory flashed … the time we’d planted, decades ago, and the seeds did not sprout. Anhydrous ammonia from the Co-op was applied, our crop was back on track. “One of the key players: Ammonia. Ammonia binds air borne nitrogen and makes the most important crop nutrient, nitrogen, available for nitrogen fertilizer production. As an important base material for fertilizers, ammonia literally helps to put our food on the table.” * *Source: https://lnkd.in/e-KTxG7Y For complete article by Lauren Manning from the Quivira Coalition's RESILENCE MAGAZINE, Issue 44: https://lnkd.in/d3ehfdqG

Interesting take from Progressive Farmer that highlights the risk producers take on in their critical role ensuring food security, economic growth, rural development, and energy diversification. In an industry where compensation for their products is set based on a globally agreed upon price, they're at the mercy of volatile factors beyond their control. When input prices go up, when labor costs more, or when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, farmers can't just charge more to make up for the losses. As it stands, U.S. corn farmers could lose anywhere from zero to $1 per bushel growing grain this year. #agribusiness #agmarkets
