Whenever I have been asked to describe what Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) is about or how it operates, I always begin with one word: “grassroots.”
If you have been around this organization as long as I have, that word comes up often and we never want to lose sight of how important it really is.
Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced the appointment of Kentucky Farm Bureau Second Vice President Sharon Furches to the Farm, Ranch, and Rural Communities Committee (FRRCC).
UK College of Agriculture Dean Dr. Nancy Cox talks about water research and classes this Fall at UK.
KFB 1st Vice President Eddie Melton shares frustration over a California Court's decision on Dicamba herbicide.
AFBF Chief Economist Dr. John Newton identifies the need for ag financial assistance from Washington.
CBOT futures closed mostly steady to sharply lower (wheat, oats, rice). Cattle futures closed higher in narrow ranges with feeders posting the biggest gains. Lean hog futures closed sharply lower and near the day’s lows.
CBOT futures closed narrowly mixed with futures settling closer to the day’s highs than the lows. Cattle futures closed mostly higher after opening lower in sympathy with the sharp drop in U.S. equity markets on concerns that COVID cases are rising. Lean Hog futures closed slightly higher after opening lower like most ag futures did.
