GUEST EDITORIAL: Farm Bills benefit more people than farmers
SPOKANE - Among many other pieces of legislation, Congress is debating the Farm Bill. Most of us don't farm but most of us should care about this legislation that comes before Congress every five years or so. Why should we care? Because we all eat. Because agriculture is responsible for one out of every 12 jobs in America. Because agriculture contributes positively to America's trade balance and is a major part of Washington's exports. Because about 35 percent of Washington state is agricultural land and its management affects water and air quality for everyone. Because a large part of America and Washington is rural.
Ag markets turned higher at midsession Tuesday
Corn futures moved higher on Tuesday morning. Technical buying pushed prices moderately higher. However, sagging export demand tied to the strong U.S. dollar continued to add pressure to the market, thus curbing the gains. Stabilizing factors are harvest nearing completion at 94% in yesterday’s crop progress report from NASS, up from 89% the week before. That means declining hedge pressure as a negative influence on prices, particularly with farmer sales slowing to a trickle. December corn futures advanced 5.25 cent to close at $3.7275/bushel Tuesday, while May was up 5.0 cents to $3.9425.
