Nearly 63 percent of the United States is facing drought conditions, says a new update.

The driest conditions are found across the Intermountain West, Plains and South.

Due to a spell of El Niño-like variability, some of these areas will see beneficial rain in the weeks ahead.

The Canadian Cattle Association has launched a petition urging Ottawa to restrict beef imports as trade negotiations with the Mercosur advance. Mercosur is a South American trade bloc made up of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay—some of the largest and lowest-cost beef producers in the world.

A deal with this group could significantly increase the volume of beef entering Canada at prices well below domestic production costs.

Everyone's watching oil prices move through the Strait of Hormuz.

But not so many people know that a third of the world's nitrogen-based fertilizers flow through that same corridor. And unlike oil, there's no strategic reserve for fertilizer. When supply gets disrupted, there's nothing to absorb the shock.

@JLinvilleFert has spent 24 years in the fertilizer markets. He says he's never seen anything close to what's happening right now. It was already tight before the Strait closed. Now it's a cascade — and farmers are running out of time to decide.

We sat down with Josh to understand how all of it connects.

The government spent more than $19B last year on consultants but feel it's necessary to fire agricultural scientists and researchers to save a few bucks.

The Agriculture Minister announced $300M last year for climate funding but can't keep the lights on at our research facilities.

This is about priorities, Liberals choosing lobbyists over lab coats and climate agendas over agriculture.
