    Maybe it’s just a bluff?

    Dr. Ernie Goss, the Jack A. MacAllister Chair in Regional Economics at Creighton University, provides key insights into the rural Midwest economy through his Rural Mainstreet Index. This monthly survey of financial leaders in small agricultural communities across 10 states highlights current trends, including challenges such as declining farm equipment sales, reduced farmland prices, and financial pressures on farmers due to higher interest rates and lower farm income. As Donald Trump prepares to return to the presidency, his proposed trade policies, including the possibility of escalating tariffs, are drawing attention. While tariffs could affect sectors like agriculture and manufacturing by raising costs or triggering retaliatory measures, some speculate that targeted trade policies might be used to negotiate better conditions for U.S. producers. Goss, known for his focus on long-term economic trends, suggests that the outcome will depend on how these policies are implemented and received globally. He continues to monitor these developments closely, evaluating their potential impact on rural economies.

    The Inside Story of Pursuing the Biggest Names

    This week, Steve Bruere, President of Peoples Company, shared insights into the evolution of the Land Investment Expo, an annual event he founded in 2008.

Boone Pickens, Donald Trump, and Drew Bledsoe. Reflecting on the expo’s purpose, Bruere emphasized the importance of fostering pragmatic conversations and challenging perspectives, particularly from an agricultural viewpoint.

Kyle Bass, and economic futurist Richard Vague.

    Debt Is Not Always Bad

    Richard Vague challenges the common perception of debt as inherently negative, urging people to consider the type and context of debt instead. While many focus on the federal debt, which now approaches $36 trillion, Vague sees private sector debt as a far more significant economic factor. Drawing from his diverse background in banking, venture capital, and government roles, Vague argues that private debt trends are critical to understanding economic shifts. He believes federal debt, while substantial, circulates back into the economy, often through U.S. Treasury securities. Vague is less worried about government debt and more concerned with rising income inequality and the trade deficit, which he feels are pressing yet under-discussed issues.

    Taking on the Barons

    Austin Frerick, a seventh-generation Iowan, is on a mission to address monopolistic practices in the American food industry, which he believes are detrimental to family farmers and consumers alike. Formerly a farm kid, Frerick has since dedicated nearly two decades to studying agricultural, tax, and antitrust policies. His book, Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry, identifies seven types of "barons" who dominate various sectors, from hogs to groceries, using aggressive strategies to concentrate power. Frerick argues that these monopolies harm smaller farmers and limit choices for consumers, and he advocates for local food sources, especially for school districts, to support regional agriculture. His mission is also personal; he wants to reclaim some of what he remembers Iowa farms once offered. His goal is to raise awareness and inspire change to restore opportunities for family farmers, questioning, "How did we get to this point?"

    A One-of-a-Kind Situation…Hopefully

    Ron Kean, a faculty associate and extension specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, expresses concern over the abrupt shutdown of the Pure Prairie Poultry processing plant in Charles City, Iowa. The closure leaves farmers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin scrambling to manage nearly two million chickens, as the company stops payments and refuses to take responsibility for the birds. Farmers, left without resources, have turned to social media for help. Despite the USDA’s $45 million investment, financial difficulties lead to the plant’s closure, severely impacting the regional poultry industry. Kean compares the situation to the challenges faced by the swine industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, when processing plant closures left farmers without markets for their livestock.

    A New Future on an Old Farm

    Beth Hoffman, a journalist with a three-decade career focused on agriculture and food, never imagined she would one day run a farm in rural Iowa. After meeting and marrying her husband, John Hogeland, she transitioned from city life to managing a 570-acre farm in Monroe County. Hoffman uses her journalistic background to write about sustainable farming and share stories of farmers through her column "In the Dirt" and her book Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America. Despite the financial challenges of farming, Hoffman and her husband prioritize sustainability and operate a diverse farm that grows hay, oats, and grass-fed cattle. With her focus on alternative crops and minimal pesticide use, Hoffman hopes to inspire others to rethink modern agriculture's approach.
