Projects will pay farmers to reduce water use in the West Eighteen water districts in the arid U.S. West will receive a share of $400 million from the USDA for local projects that pay farmers to reduce water consumption while keeping land in production, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Thursday. Irrigation use could drop by 50,000 acre-feet on 250,000 acres in 12 states, from Texas to California and Oregon. “Agricultural producers are the backbone of rural communities across the West, and many of them are struggling under prolonged drought conditions,” said Vilsack. “We want to scale up the tools available to keep farmers farming while also voluntarily conserving water and expanding markets for water-saving commodities.” https://hubs.li/Q02Kz90T0

Japan’s rice stocks drop to lowest level in decades amid tourist boom and poor crop yields 'Private-sector inventories of rice fell to 1.56m tons in June, down 20% from a year earlier and the lowest since 1999, when comparable data was first gathered, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. It attributed the decrease to the high temperatures that hit crops in 2023 as well as demand from inbound visitors. Last year Japan recorded its hottest September since records began 125 years ago. “The chief reasons behind the record-low inventory is a decline in production last year due to high temperatures combined with water shortages, and the relative cheapness of rice prices compared to prices of other crops such as wheat,” farm ministry official Hiroshi Itakura told Agence France-Presse.' https://hubs.li/Q02KpyBT0

'The tie-up, announced in June last year, will see Bunge buy Glencore Plc-backed Viterra in stock and cash, with the U.S. crop trader owning about 70% of the combined entity.
