In a light green dress, surrounded by other young women hoping their name gets called, Emma Miller, representing the counties of Linn and Benton heard hers. With the crown placed upon her head by 2014 winner Danielle Bull, the 20-year-old Miller officially became the 2015 Oregon Dairy Princess-Ambassador. Megan Sprute representing Washington County was selected as the first alternate.

Miller, a student at Oregon State University studying agricultural sciences with the dreams of becoming a high school agriculture teacher, wants to use her time to help others find their agricultural calling.

“I am passionate about agriculture,” Miller said in a press release. “I hope to help students find their passion as well.”

Part of Miller’s path to victory included days of interviews, speeches, spending time with judges, and her speech, entitled “Dairy Farming and America’s Future Generations,” touched on her appreciation for the dairy farmers.

Her duties as Oregon Dairy Princess Ambassador will require her to travel throughout Oregon to attend fairs, meetings and events as a representative of the dairy farmers. She’ll also spend time in schools educating children about life on a dairy farm and the health benefits dairy products have.

The Oregon Dairy Women, a voluntary, not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to promote the dairy industry. Dairy Princess-Ambassadors date back to 1959-1960, when Nancy Garner won the inaugural crown.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
