Welcome!

The Amarillo Econ blog is a platform that provides regular updates to stakeholders in the world of agriculture on agricultural markets, research findings from agricultural economists, current issues facing the field of agriculture, and the implications of regularly released USDA reports.

We will also use the blog and social media under the Amarillo AgEcon banner to announce new tools and programs conducted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension faculty and staff.

There are two main types of blog posts on this page;

High Plains Ag Week: These posts talk a bit about the market movement over the week in corn, wheat, cotton, and fat and feeder cattle. We’ll also provide some insight into potential market movers and upcoming events for the following week. Additionally we’ll highlight interesting news stories from the week, and provide a list of upcoming deadlines for things like insurance and USDA program signups.

It Depends:

Where ‘High Plains Ag Week’ will mostly be posts about current events, the series called ‘It Depends’ functions more as an educational outlet. We’ll look at current events, or things we’re reading about and find interesting, and examine them through the lens of economics. We hope to use ‘It Depends’ to provide some answers to everyday questions from the world of economics, particularly as those questions relate to agriculture. On that note, if there are topics that you are interested in hearing about please let us know!

 

Whether you’re a farmer or rancher, in rural real estate, work in the commodity markets, provide products and services to producers, or you’re just new to the field of agriculture and want to learn more, we’ve got something for you.

 

You can follow us on Twitter @AmarilloAgecon, and like us on Facebook at Amarillo AgEcon.
