Professional managers of farmland are indicating that cash rents will rise in 2022. Typically periods of higher returns lead to higher cash rents. However, increasing cash rents now has risks to farmers. Higher returns in recent years have occurred because of trend or higher yields, relatively high prices, and Federal payments through ad hoc programs such as the Market Facilitation Program and Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. A return to average commodity prices from 2014 to 2019 would lead to very low and likely negative farmer returns.

This week's Open Mic guest is U.S. Congresswoman Angie Craig. The Minnesota 2nd District Representative serves a diverse constituent base including thousands of family farms. Craig shares her frustration with mixed messages coming from the Oval Office and the USDA on the prospect of a third round of Market Facilitation Program payments in 2020. Craig believes the Trump administration is waffling on its support of renewable fuels evidenced by its consideration of an appeal to the 10th Circuit Court's ruling on the EPA's granting of small refinery exemptions. Craig hopes for an infrastructure bill and doesn't agree with the administration's proposed changes to government nutrition programs.

News that a bag of dead birds was seized from a passenger arriving in the U.S. from China raised a number of red flags for Cong. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) who is in the rare position of sitting on both the Agriculture and Intelligence Committees in the House. What scares the congressman is what we don't know about those birds because of outdated protocols. "'I've been in contact with CDP (Customs and Border Patrol) and USDA and unfortunately we're victims of policy that probably did not anticipate this type of thing," Crawford told DC Signal to Noise. "So they were, by their policy, just required to incinerate those birds without exploiting any any kind of potential intelligence they could extract from these and doing the pathology on these dead animals and being able to say just exactly what was contained in those dead birds and was it a threat?" As Crawford pointed out in the DC Signal to Noise Podcast, the suspicious birds come about a year after a million pounds of illegal pork from China was stopped at the border. In this week's podcast, Crawford details his plans to push for updated policies to adequately control and investigate biosecurity issues at the border. Crawford also gives an update on trade issues, the possibility of a new Market Facilitation Program and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the midst of U.S. soybean prices continuing to face downward pressure from South America's harvest and questionable Chinese demand, producers received the third and final round of President Trump's promised Market Facilitation Program payment. The payment, designed to compensate low U.S. soybean prices as a result of the drawn-out U.S. and China trade issues, is not expected to be duplicated for the crop going in the ground this spring. Producers are encouraged to incorporate the payment in what they would normally receive for their grain and not to consider it as “extra” income.

The battle over small refinery exemptions (SREs) to the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) ratcheted up last week as the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down exemptions that were granted in 2016.

This week's guest on Open Mic is Nathan Kauffman, vice president and Omaha branch executive with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. While the farm economy continues to struggle in a multi-year downturn, the overall balance sheet remains strong.

Kauffman says Market Facilitation Program payments helped farm balance sheets last year, but are only a short term fix to an enduringly challenged financial outlook.
