Oklahoma's attorney general accuses Tyson Foods of spreading "misinformation" and using farmers as "pawns" in a 20-year Illinois River watershed pollution lawsuit.
In a letter to USDA leaders, policy groups with diverse positions on federal spending are calling on the department to ensure any ad-hoc aid to farmers focuses on need and uses clear eligibility standards to reduce the risks of waste and fraud.
Fertilizer prices continued to be mostly higher for the third week of November 2025. For the second week in a row, six of the eight major fertilizers were higher in price compared to last month while the other two were slightly less expensive. No fertilizers had a significant price move, which DTN designates as anything 5% or more.
Tyson's recent announcement in the beef processing sector has caused discussion in the industry. The closure and cutback it announced will reduce slaughter capacity by 7.5%-9% amid historically low cattle numbers.

Quote of the Day
"Those who are skilled in archery bend their bow only when they are preparing to use it; when they do not require it, they allow it to remain unbent, for otherwise it would remain unserviceable when the time for using it arrived. So it is with man. If he were to devote himself unceasingly to a dull round of business, without breaking the monotony by cheerful amusements, he would fall imperceptibly into idiocy, or be struck by paralysis."
