Washington Week Ahead: Trump to Target Agriculture Spending in FY18 Budget
WASHINGTON, May 21, 2017 – President Trump releases his full fiscal 2018 budget this week and it’s expected to propose big cuts in crop insurance, conservation assistance and a number of agricultural and rural development programs.
The budget, which expands on the “skinny” budget plan issued in March, will be released on Tuesday. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue will be in the hot seat the very next day when he faces the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, which writes the annual spending bill for USDA, the Food and Drug Administration and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Multiple sources told Agri-Pulse last week that the budget will propose cuts in crop insurance. And the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition said the budget also would whack rural development programs, including Value-Added Grants, rural housing assistance, and cut $100 million from the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, which funds university research projects.

Experts: Nut Prices, Not Water, Account for Swing in Ag Land Values
Starting in 1999, prices for agricultural land in the South Valley experienced a decade of steady growth in value, averaging about a 5.5 percent increase on a compounded, annual basis.
And if you were looking to sell ag land after 2010, the news got even better, as values rose by almost 20 percent on average over the next five years, with some ag parcels nearly doubling in value, said Roland Fumasi, vice president and senior analyst for Rabobank Research Food and Agribusiness.
As for what drove that trend, it was nuts — almonds, pistachios and walnuts — that experienced growing demand among consumers around the world, pulling prices higher.

Iowa Farmland is Going Back Up, Survey Shows
AMES, Iowa — While long-term outlooks are bullish on Iowa farmland values, financial experts say it’s time that farmers micromanage their operations.
With farmers, professional farm managers, appraisers, landowners, and ag lenders in attendance Wednesday, Iowa State University held its 90th Annual Soil Management and Land Valuation (SMLV) Conference.
One of the highlights of the conference was the results of a land value survey involving over 1,448 respondents, many of which attend the annual meeting.

Mike Conaway’s Other Job
As House Agriculture Chairman, Mike Conaway’s chief goal is to shepherd the new farm bill into law and on time in 2018, a harder goal than it sounds, since Congress has been tardy in writing farm bills since 1990. Conaway was handed a large distraction last month when House GOP leaders put him in charge of the House investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
“I must emphasize that this is a temporary position,” says Conaway, a staunch conservative from Texas. He’s filling in for Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who is resolving complaints about his handling of classified information. Conaway, known as a quiet and diligent lawmaker, is the second-ranking Republican on the Intelligence panel, so it was somewhat logical for GOP leaders to turn to him. By coincidence, Nunes, a dairy farmer from California’s Central Valley, is a former Agriculture Committee member.
“Chairman Conaway’s responsibilities at the Intelligence Committee will not impact the House Agriculture Committee’s activities or the Chairman’s anticipated time line for writing and passing a new farm bill,” says a committee press aide. The committee has a heavy schedule of information-gathering hearings at present, with the actual writing of the farm bill not expected before early next year.

Trump Officially Moves to Renegotiate NAFTA
In a statement issued this morning, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer formally notified Congress specifics on how the Trump Administration intends to renegotiate NAFTA.
“As I said when I was sworn in three days ago, I believe the President’s leadership on trade will permanently reverse the dangerous trajectory of American trade,” he said. “Changing that trajectory is why we’re here today.”
In a letter addressed to Chuck Schumer, Orrin Hatch, Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi, Lighthizer stressed the need to modernize the 25-year-old trade agreement.

Farm Bill Sure to Bring CRP Debate
There will almost certainly be a push for increased conservation acres in the next farm bill, but it may come with program reforms as well.

Global Reflation Efforts – ‘Slowly bearing fruit”
Market “Near Term” Snap Shot
10-year Treasury Yield: Slightly bullish – lower yield
S&P 500: Consolidating before moving higher
Global Equities: Some consolidating gains; others near term bullish
U.S. Dollar: Sideways – More weakness than strength
Oil: Dangerously weak prices; Inability to penetrate upside price resistance could result in another leg down for oil prices and aggregate commodity price weakness
Commodity Index: Good news: Near term low in place; Important question: Will low hold?
Soybeans, Corn and Wheat: Basing Continues – Bias: Cautiously Bullish, $CRB commodity index weakness a major indicator of grain price challenges
Rice: Slightly bullish bias
Cotton: 84-cent-plus price objective remains
Should one be optimistic or pessimistic about the week beginning May 15, 2017?

Valuable Input to Become a Successful Drone Pilot
Hail cannons boomed as participants at a drone workshop stepped outside a classroom at the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Parlier, Calif. for hands-on instruction on how to pilot an unmanned multi-rotor copter.
The center is, after all, in the heart of the nation’s tree fruit industry, and the gathering clouds and unsettled weather held off just long enough for most workshop participants to guide a craft through the air and to safe landings.
Some of the information presented at the workshop and a second one the next day drifted into the highly technical and esoteric, but the emphasis was on the practical.

Digital Data Management Drives Grower’s Efforts to Produce World-class Quality Fruit
Geographic information systems, which are used to store, analyze and manage such geographic data as soil types, cropping patterns and rainfall, are the future of farming, says Christian Palmaz, president of Palmaz Vineyards, in the Coombsville AVA, near Napa, Calif.
He manages day-to-day operation of the second-generation family vineyard and winery business, which was established in the late 1990s.
As Palmaz sees it, making good vineyard management decisions starts with a clear understanding about what’s going on with the vines. And, that’s where GIS can pay big dividends
