Expiring CRP acres offer limited hope for crop production boost (Agri-Pulse) 

Agri-Pulse published an article stating that the Biden administration is looking to farmers to help alleviate global food shortfalls by planting winter wheat this fall on ground that’s coming out of the Conservation Reserve Program, but much of the acreage lies in states that are suffering from prolonged drought. Senior research fellow Joseph Glauber showed concern that perhaps countries are looking for solutions without considering other aspects. He and colleagues have been tracing the impact of the war on global food supplies. He said the biggest deterrent to wheat production isn’t drought but the high cost of fertilizer, as well as high prices for corn and soybeans that make those crops more appealing to growers.”
