Reflecting sunlight into space has terrifying consequences, say scientists

2014-11-26 10:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Guardian: Fighting global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space risks terrifying consequences including droughts and conflicts, according to three major new analyses of the promise and perils of geoengineering. But research into deliberately interfering with the climate system must continue in search of technology to use as a last resort in combating climate change, scientists have concluded. Billions of people would suffer worse floods and droughts if technology was used to block warming sunlight,...

With the drought creating high feed prices and large positive basis on corn for much of the year, its not hard to tell why. On top of that, there were negative basis issues early in 2013 on lean hogs and weve cycled back to large historical negative basis on hogs today. read more

Farmland rental rates not reflecting lower crop prices

2013-11-05 18:11:00| Corn & Soybean Digest

The very strong corn and soybean prices in the past couple of years, and the resulting increases in crop income per acre, have lead to significant increases in cash rental rates on farmland in recent years. Many crop producers are now concerned that the lower projected crop prices for 2014, and reduced estimates for gross income per acre, may not be high enough to justify the higher cash rental rates that are currently being charged, or are being proposed for the 2014. There has been no indication of any reduction in land rental rates in south-central Minnesota for 2014, as compared to current levels. Focus on Ag read more
