Cap-and-trade bill: What’s in it for me?: by Meggie Foster. "While President Obama is expected to focus on challenges in Afghanistan and a hefty new health care bill, many in the farm community are growingly concerned about the future of cap-and-trade legislation, and its implications for farmers. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist and environmental policy guru Madhu Khanna, there are both positive and negative consequences for American farmers in a climate bill that would define the nation’s first-ever mandatory limit on heat-trapping gases, in an effort to slow-down global warming effects".

DairyCast update for June 16, 2009, what you should know on euthanasia And grain market expectations

DairyCast^®
Update for June 16, 2009

This past weekend my eyes were once again opened to the potential and bright future ahead for agriculture. For two days I served on the nominating committee for our next state FFA officer team. During the time I was able to see the passion and excitement that numerous high school graduates have for our industry. I was extremely impressed with their dedication, commitment and leadership ability.

While the challenges we face continue to grow, it is great to see so many young leaders actively engaged on our side of the battle. Several of them were involved in one way or another with dairy production. I believe any efforts we can take to recruit and develop young people to be active leaders in our industry will be magnified significantly.

Update for April 10, 2009

Conversations with presenters at the recent Midwest Poultry Federation meeting highlight recent programs. Depop and disposal of large flocks should be part of your emergency planning procedures. Bud Malone shares his experience from multiple events this decade and will help you map your own EOP.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has launched an investigation into potentially contaminated feed products from a rendering facility in Alberta. The vast majority of the potentially contaminated feed has been identified, contained and will be disposed of. The company is working closely with the CFIA to quickly identify and dispose of all potentially contaminated feed.

Blog: Head in the Oven, Rear End in the Freezer and Calling it a Nice Average Temperature, By Dennis DiPietre . "IThe externality crowd (the politicizers, activists and interest groups who believe that agricultural producers are pushing a multitude of costs off on the globe and their community without paying for them), should take a look in the mirror. When a small group of the population, such as those who have a true willingness to pay for things like country of origin labeling, organic food, locally produced food, carbon-neutral food, etc. gain the political clout to force the costs of these attributes on everyone (willing to pay or not), they have used the government to structuralize a huge cost externality. Which is to say, they have forced others to pay for attributes only they demand." Read more.
