I’m giving the opening keynote at the Maine Grain Alliance’s 2025 Kneading Conference, which culimiantes in the Maine Artisan Bread Fair on July 26. My talk is at 8:30 a.m. at the Strand Cinema in Skowhegan, Maine. I’m really looking forward to this one.

USDA updates its chart collection
The USDA has just updated its agricultural statistics charts.
Some of the charts deal with trade issues. I thought this one was especially interesting.
We (or farm animals) consume most of some commodities (pork, corn, beef). Others are mainly for export (cotton, almonds,).
This is why trade matters to much to U.S. agriculture.
