In an effort to shed light on the importance of healthy school meals in the United States, comedy website Funny or Die and the American Heart Association produced a commercial that takes place on what may be the most unique farm in the country.

“Welcome to the pizza farm, where we are hard at work growing the ripe, juicy pizzas your kids love,” says Daniel Frances, a food expert played by Nick Offerman, known for playing Ron Swanson on the show Parks and Recreation.

The farm features vast acres of sun-kissed pizza, orchards of tacquito trees and fields of Sloppy Joes.

What does a farmer with such a unique bounty of crops use to grow them?

“The nutrients in the cola we use to water them,” he says, taking a drink from a hose.

Frances’s motto for healthy eating is simple:

“Listen, if it’s on a plant it’s good for you; who cares how it got there.”

Another clip shows someone who says he got into farming to “make a bit of money.”

The footage, which appears to be taken somewhere in Europe, shows a farmer in different spots of his operation talking about the money he makes from his products, including how chickens can be processed for meat or kept for eggs.

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. 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.
