How do we ensure fair prices for farmers and consumers while building climate resilience, protecting the environment and sustaining rural communities? And what happens when Farm Bill policies incentivize the opposite approach? Hear from IATP's Ben Lilliston and Karen Hansen-Kuhn in Episode One of the Farm Bill Uprooted, which dives into Farm Bill basics, and how it's shaped a food and farm system dominated by commodity production and overgrown corporate agribusiness interests.   References and further reading: USDA ERS, Food Access Research Atlas USDA ERS, Key Statistics and Graphics About half of US water 'too polluted' for drinking, swimming or fishing, report finds.

Today's guest, Chase Krug, first appeared on the Off-Farm Income Podcast in episode #203 when he was a freshman in high school in 2016.  Back then he was already doing research and had been awarded an SAE Grant to study the Colorado Potato Beetle as well as blight in potatoes.  Over the past five years he has continued his passion for both research and plant breeding, and has added 13 more research projects for a total of 15 (he had one before the potatoes). If you are wondering, this is not the norm, this is exceptional.  So exceptional in fact that right after Chase graduated from high school he was sent to India, by himself, to work on plant breeding and research new varieties of mung beans through an internship he had been granted.  Chase has continued to be recognized and be awarded internships and jobs such as working for the the USDA - ERS and publishing recommendations for countries like Egypt.  And now, he has been nominated as an American Star Finalist in the category of Agriscience Research.

Ag Outlook 2020: Long-Term Bearish and Short-Term Bullish Steve Johnson, farm management specialist with Iowa State University Aired: December 2016 Overall, 2017 will be another down year despite more record yields, with USDA-ERS data predicting about a 15 percent drop in farm incomes, says Steve Johnson, farm management specialist with Iowa State University. “As we enter the fourth year of depressed prices, successful farmers are watching their margins, paying attention to cash flow and cutting costs.” Listen now to hear Johnson’s specific recommendations for managing costs, marketing your crops and “overcoming your financial emotions” to make better decisions for your operation. Key Takeaways: 1. Proactively manage your costs. Tighten up your record keeping and do the acre-by-acre calculations necessary to determine your production costs. Use those numbers to make strong management decisions. 2. Leverage yields to maximize profits. Your own numbers are more relevant than USDA averages, so they should determine your fixed costs and the prices you need. As a farmer you have more control than you think —use it to make effective, informed decisions. 3. Manage your financial emotions. The key is to develop a plan that includes time and price objectives and an understanding of your cash flow needs. Don’t let your emotions stop you from taking a profit.
