In light of current commodity and input prices, aligning with Taranis now is crucial to securing risk-free financial support for farmers' prosperity. Read the latest blog, "#Conservation Pays: Maximizing Profitability Potential for Growers Through Conservation Practices": https://hubs.li/Q02t7M2f0. “Taranis is redefining how crop input and management decisions are made on the farm. Our service aligns perfectly with USDA’s mission to promote conservation while maximizing profitability for growers, and therefore we have an edge on obtaining funding from #USDA programs for our #growers,” Opher Flohr explains. “I believe this is just the start—as USDA continues to add funding for precise application practices that are unlocked by technologies like Taranis, we will be vigilant to make sure our growers are first in line to receive those funds.” #Agriculture #Sustainability #Blog #AgNews #Farming #Agronomy #Agribusiness #PestManagement #CoverCrops #NoTill #CropNutrition #CropRotation #FarmLife #AgRetailers #Corn #Soybeans #Cotton #CropHealth #SoilHealth

USDA Trade Spotlight - Growing Rural Prosperity: Visualizing U.S. Agricultural Exports as a Share of Production U.S. agricultural exports are a critical source of farm income. The USDA Economic Research Service estimates that on average 23 percent of the output of nonmanufactured agricultural products were exported between 2013 and 2022 (https://lnkd.in/esxJyqXd). This includes a wide range of commodities from soybeans, beef, and dairy, to cotton, corn, and tree nuts. More than half of the tree nuts and cotton produced in the United States are exported. At least one third of domestic sorghum, soybeans, wheat, and rice production are also exported. Farmers across the country continue to rely on the global market to support farm prices and to improve rural economies. https://lnkd.in/eMAqsxGN #exports #trade #usda #agriculture #ruralamerica
