The ink had barely dried on reports of this season's hurricanes when some commentators were blaming farming-induced global warming for the stormy weather. Is food production really at fault here?

With the arrival of the tenth named hurricane this season, weather extremes in the Atlantic tied a century-old record for the number of storms. Are we in for a rough ride in the commodities markets as a result? Here's what the numbers foreshadow. 

In further testimony that modern agriculture is no longer quite what the agrarian romantics envision, McCook's Nebraska Bull Service will give you a whole new outlook on the mating habits of today's beef cow. A fascinating look at the logistics of bovine romance.  

Nebraska farmer Quentin Connealy attracted more than 2 million views and counting for his home video demonstrating the epitome of making the best of the bad weather last spring.

I'm proud the Nebraska Grocery Industry Association continues to be a sponsor of Farmer Goes to Market. This unique newsletter looks at issues from the entire food industry - from farm to fork. We choose interesting topics that we feel need further discussion or clarification. It is important to farmers, producers, processors, retailers and customers that the true facts about food production be thoroughly researched and shared with everyone in the chain. This e-newsletter is  about telling the truth when it is so easy these days to put spin on an issue or take it out of context to make it seem like something it is not. I encourage you to share the newsletter, and if you have comments or questions about any issues, please let us know so we can address them in a future issue.
