AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Missouri Water & Infrastructure: The U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee advanced the 2026 Water Resources Development Act, a $6B-plus package that would fund ports and inland waterways and includes flood-risk and drought-resilience priorities—an issue Missouri lawmakers have flagged as key to agriculture and navigation. Ag Markets & Fuel Costs: A University of Missouri Extension economist warns global conflicts could tighten energy supplies and push fuel higher, adding volatility to wheat markets as farmers look at risk-management options. Right to Repair: The FTC says it won a major settlement against John Deere—Deere will sell electronic repair tools to farmers and independent repair shops for 10 years at “fair and reasonable” prices, after claims Deere limited access to authorized dealers. Missouri Agriculture Tech: Mizzou researchers are testing AI-driven variable-rate seeding so farmers can adjust planting rates across fields based on local soil and moisture conditions, aiming to protect profits. Local Enforcement: Federal agents were reported at a Neosho walnut lumber business, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service citing investigations into illegal commercialization of natural resources. State Budget/Programs: Missouri’s Soil and Water Conservation Program distributed nearly $45M to landowners in FY2026, funding thousands of conservation contracts and reducing erosion. Food Retail: Papa Murphy’s parent MTY Group plans nationwide closures of underperforming stores, with company-owned locations most affected. Data Centers & Politics: A Missouri editorial warns about anonymous anti–data center Facebook pages using AI-like images and unverifiable stories, arguing it muddies public debate.
