Market Journal: Examining the Economics of Crop Production

 On this week's Market Journal Ag Economist Mike Boehlje of Purdue University discusses how agriculture is affected by so much more than the weather and markets. He identifies four main factors as the changes in the energy markets, immigration, natural resources and policy challenges that include the WTO. Boehlje says agriculture's triple bottom lines – economic, environmental and social -- also are key factors.

Also on the program this week:

On the next Market Journal Nov. 23-25, Kansas State University Professor Vincent Amanor-Boadu will discuss strategies to help ag producers operate successfully in today’s global markets.
