A lot of ink has been spilled on how slow export sales have been for new-crop U.S. #soybeans. But historically, a slow start to the season has a very low correlation with final exports at the end of the marketing year. (For those obsessed with statistics, the R-squared of early season sales with final exports is a very low 0.16). There are numerous headwinds to the U.S. export program to be sure. But, a smaller-than-expected South American harvest in a La Nina year, a bump in European demand for U.S. soybeans from non-deforested acreage, lower interest rates in the U.S., and a recovery of the Chinese economy could rejuvenate export demand. #oilseeds #agriculture #commodities #markets #OATT

A new age of electricity growth is here with data center demand growth the most visible sign of the changing times, testing the ability of utility-suppliers to keep pace. My colleague Jeff Johnston, CFA and I had the opportunity to discuss sustainable efforts to meet the rising demand from these new facilities at this week's CoBank Power, Energy & Water Executive Forum held in Salt Lake City, Utah. #electricitygrid #datacenters #sustainability

Using I/O Psychology to empower the way we live. Organizational Development | People Analytics | Employee Experience
I had the privilege of interning at CoBank as the Summer 2024 #HumanResources Intern, and I can confidently say that I learned and experienced more than I could ever capture in a single post. My supervisor, Emily Inman, SPHR ensured that my time at CoBank was nothing short of incredible. I started my internship by attending CSU's Native Student Preview Day through the Native Education Forum (funded by CoBank), where I saw how CoBank truly walked the walk in their dedication to Corporate Social Responsibility. After that, I was entrusted with projects on talent development, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, survey strategies, and more. I also had the opportunity to participate in HR Strategy and performance management meetings, and attend an engaging presentation on AI by Mercer at CSU SPUR. Throughout it all, I felt genuinely appreciated and supported. Two unique takeaways stand out from my experience: (1) the authenticity of CoBank's culture, and (2) their unwavering commitment to their mission and talent. As an emerging Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, I am always keenly observing what is happening “beneath the surface”. At CoBank, what is “beneath the surface” is a culture of #trust and #belonging, where individuals are deeply dedicated to the mission, and managers #empower their teams to succeed, while protecting the privilege to serve that mission. The #authenticity I observed stems from the fact that CoBank’s internal culture aligns seamlessly with what they present to the world. I witnessed firsthand their dedication to their people, social responsibility, and fostering diversity and inclusion. Thank you, CoBank, Emily, the HR Team, and everyone at CoBank who made my experience truly memorable. #iopsychology #internship #humanresources

Experienced agriculture communicator with expertise in biofuels, farm inputs, sustainability, ag policy and overall agricultural economics.
Did you know that corn used for biofuels of the total production has increased from 6% in 1997 to 37% in 2023? Meanwhile, U.S. farmers have doubled (and even more) corn production to provide food, feed and fuel without sacrificing one demand sector over another. I shared this message and more about the future of #biofuels and #SAF and the ag economy on Thursday with the Illinois Agricultural Leadership Foundation class of young agricultural leaders. Honored to participate in a panel discussion with Mac Marshall and Paul Bertels to dig into the future of SAF and obstacles that must be overcome to make #farmers an effective and integral part of the climate solution. Added bonus, the class did a tour at Frank Doll's dairy farm (producer for Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc.), and the smells took me right back to my childhood and walking into my grandpa's milk parlor.
