| | | | | | | USDA offers surprises in Prospective Plantings report |
| | Northern Ag Network | 3 min. read |
| | USDA offered a number of surprises in its recent Prospective Plantings report. Nationally, the biggest surprise was in corn acres which USDA forecast at 89.5 million, down 4% from 2021 and the lowest in 5 years. The all-wheat acreage intentions number came in slightly lower than expected at 47.4 ma, with the trade expecting 47.8 ma. But winter wheat came in about 200,000 acres fewer than expected, and spring wheat was down 500,000 from expectations. If realized, the all-wheat planted area is the fifth-lowest since USDA began keeping records in 1919. |

| | | | | | Ukraine War likely to shock grain markets for several years | |
| | | Wisconsin Farmer | 3 min. read | |
| | | Global grain markets have been managing through a period of extreme price volatility following Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine. Regardless of when the war ends, its impact on global grain trade will reverberate for some time as markets continually assess real and perceived grain supply shortages and re-adjust risk premiums. According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, the conflict will negatively affect global grain flows for at least two crop years, and likely longer. | |

| | | | | | [podcast] How the war in Ukraine is creating a global food Crisis | |
| | | The Daily | 21 min. podcast | |
| | | Ukraine and Russia are enormous producers of wheat, corn, barley, sunflower oil and fertilizer. One study calculated that the two countries accounted for 12% of the world’s calories. With Ukraine under attack and Russia hit with strict sanctions, a huge supply of food is suddenly trapped — with Africa and the Middle East particularly imperiled. Guest: Jack Nicas, the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times. | |

| | | | | | Plant-based food tops $7.4 billion in sales | |
| | | | American grocery shoppers filled their carts with $7.4 billion worth of plant-based food in 2021, a 6% bump from 2020 and a 54% increase over the last three years. But, according to an industry expert, “More investment and innovation are needed to ensure plant-based proteins can compete with conventional products on the key drivers of consumer choice: taste, price and accessibility.” | |

| | | | | | Plant-based protein set to surge in market share with price parity on the horizon | |
| | | Triple Pundit | 3 min. read | |
| | | There’s good news for the plant-based protein industry and the planet as a whole in a recent report out by Kearney. As prices become competitive with traditional meat, plant-made alternatives are expected to experience a sudden and dramatic increase in market share. But while price parity could lead to a 20 percent expansion, that increase could in turn further fuel falling prices and lead to a snowball effect where plant-based meat and other proteins are cheaper, and thus potentially in higher demand, than thought possible at present. | |

| | | | | | Particle size distribution analysis of flour | |
| | | AZO Materials | 4 min. read | |
| | | It is critical to know the particle size distribution of agglomerates and primary particles present in materials for quality control, packaging, handling, processing, product development, and research purposes. In addition, many regulatory authorities and standard organizations are there for documentation, specification, and standardization of particle size and distribution, which indicates its importance in several industries. This article discusses particle size distribution (PSD) analysis of flour, its importance, and different methods used for PSD analysis. | |

| | | | | | US winter wheat health among worst ever, yield prospects dicey | |
| | | Reuters via Financial Post | 3 min. read | |
| | | The U.S. winter wheat crop has emerged from dormancy in miserable condition following a historically dry winter in key production states, almost guaranteeing that the harvest will not rank among the country’s better ones. The timing is not great since tensions in the wheat market are running high. | |

| | | | | | Integrating aquaculture in African rice farms may increase health, wealth | |
| | | | A program led by University of Georgia agriculture researchers is helping Nigerian rice farmers diversify food production through aquaculture systems that integrate raising native catfish in rice fields. The project’s primary objectives are to develop integrated rice-fish production technology, develop management practices among farmers and stakeholders, and determine productivity, profitability margins and willingness for producers to adopt this new technology. The researchers also are measuring consumers’ willingness to consume fish and rice produced from an integrated farming system. | |
