1. The vast majority of the time commodity futures markets are informationally efficient, with the practical meaning that prices follow a random walk. But sometimes...things go haywire. Not very often but they do. Cocoa sure has the appearance right now of possibly being one of those exceptions. @JavierBlas is at the top of his game in today's column on cocoa and the knock on impacts of the truly wild surge in prices.

Very exciting news for NYS & Monroe County!

Fun fact: The research for @fairlife's branded milk process uses an ultrafiltration originated by @Cornell prof. Dave Barbano! The process gives fairlife milk a longer shelf life & a product with ⬇️ sugar, ⬆️ protein & calcium.

Sen. Stabenow, chair of the Agriculture Committee, says she won't seek reelection in 2024. This could have big implications for the farm bill if it gets kicked past this year.

In response to popular demand, here is an update of my inflation decomposition. Of the 8.2% year-over-year CPI inflation through September, almost 60% is due to supply-side drivers, 28% is due to demand-side drivers, and the remaining 12% is tough to reasonably distinguish.

Trends in direct GHG emissions from US dairy production. Manure CH4 emissions are up mainly due to the consolidation in the industry & concentrated animal feeding operation regulations leading to more anaerobic manure lagoons -- conditions that lead to CH4

🚨Happy to see our study on market acceptance of animal welfare improving #biotechnology published!

We conducted an incentive-compatible field experiment to elicit consumer willingness to pay for #pork produced using immunocastration and gene editing biotechnologies 🧬 🐽 1/2

There has been quite a bit of talk about the impact of the war in Ukraine on wheat prices, and some talk about its impact on corn prices. In what follows, I provide some commentary and graphs on the topic.

@gitanjalipoonia Except it doesn't. The US government NEVER owned this cheese--so it's not "no longer owning" it. The headline screams "Why does the U.S. government have 1.4 billion pounds of cheese stored in a cave underneath Springfield, Missouri?" Present tense-not past. One of many mistakes
