Police from multiple jurisdictions are asking for the public’s help to recover stolen tractors.

In Kawartha Lakes, Ont., for example, the local Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is looking into the theft of a 2018 Kubota L3560HSTCC tractor, serial number #43095.

The tractor went missing from the Little Britain area between Dec. 21, 2022, and Jan. 3, 2023, police say.

The tractor’s starting price is $35,648, Kubota’s website says.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kawartha Lakes OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Kawartha-Haliburton Crime Stoppers.

Staying in Ontario, Halton police are asking Burlington residents to be on the lookout for a Kubota tractor.

Someone took the tractor from the Access Storage facility at 860 Cumberland Ave., on Dec. 30, police said.

It’s unknown what model of tractor was stolen, but it’s valued around $25,000.

Anyone with information about this stolen item is asked to contact Halton police at 905-825-4747 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Authorities in New York State are also seeking the public’s assistance in locating a stolen tractor and potentially the suspect.

Police in Lowville are trying to recover a John Deere 790 compact tractor. The tractor also had a six-foot yellow 3-point brush hog attached at the time of the theft.

Depending on the farm equipment site, that model of tractor sells for between $14,000 and $20,000.

Authorities say the thief stole the tractor from a residence in the town of Denmark on or around Dec. 21, 2022.

Security cameras captured images of a person of interest.

Anyone with information about this stolen tractor are asked to contact police at (315)-366-6000 and reference case number 11204124.

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.
