JUST IN: Odds of a 50 basis point rate hike this month hit a new high of 75%!

More shocking, the odds of TWO 50 basis point rate hikes are now 20%.

Markets now see a 36% chance that rates go to 5.75% or higher.

This is by far the most hawkish shift in expectations we’ve seen.

41% of Nebraska farmers and ranchers don’t ever plan to stop on their operations.

Does this surprise anyone?

Proud of my little brother. He is especially proud of his outfit choice if we’re honest…

@ranchersdogter You’re caption deserves a compliment! Tipping my hat to you gal!

A contract library? As well as the suggested 50% negotiated cash trade within a 14 delivery window? These are not going to provide price discovery opportunities for producers nor solve the issues within the industry. #concernedcatttlemen #supplychaindilemma

We built our financial strength for this – today's mailing of a second cash-back dividend to eligible customer-owners. Today's payout of $62 million brings our total 2020 cash-back dividend to $339 million for a return of $2.3 billion since 2004. That’s the power of ownership.

We are proud to announce we are paying a second cash-back dividend to eligible customer-owners in 2021. The payout of $62M later this month means we are returning a total of $339M in 2020 net earnings to the farmers and ranchers we serve. That is the power of ownership.

Cash-back dividends are part of the value proposition our customer-owners can count on. This January, we will pay an estimated $275 million in cash-back dividends – or 1% of each eligible customer’s average daily balance. https://t.co/8XqgjHSMTe

When your mission is to serve ag, you know there will be tough years. In 2020, Mark Jensen tells lawmakers, FCSAmerica customers dealt with supply chain disruptions and a midwestern hurricane. We’re proud of their resilience and the opportunity to serve them.

One of the biggest threats to people’s financial well-being is that they’re being marketed and sold “organic”, “gmo-free”, “pasture raised”, (insert any marketing term) products.

Conventional food is SAFE, WHOLESOME & AFFORDABLE for your family. Don’t feel guilty buying it.

You’ve found #farmland. But what’s next? FarmLend’s step-by-step guide explains what to expect at each stage of the purchase.

[National Farmers Union @NFUDC]

During the pandemic, food prices for consumers have risen 5.6% - the biggest jump in nearly a decade.

But that money isn't being passed on to farmers and ranchers, whose prices are 4.8% lower than they were a year ago.
