Duluth, Minnesota A new three-year, $250,000 project led by the University of Minnesota Sea Grant program seeks to determine the potential for a sustainable food-fish aquaculture industry in Minnesota. Potential food-fish farmers planning to enter the industry are interested in credible data that will help them decide which production strategies and species are best suited for profitability, said Amy Schrank, project lead and University of Minnesota Sea Grant fisheries and aquaculture extension educator. Producers will need this information to apply for loans from banks and lending institutions.
Food-fish or fish raised for human consumption is a relatively new and modest aquaculture industry in Minnesota and includes seafood such as shrimp and other forms of shellfish in addition to fish.

Economist: U.S. poised for rebound with vaccines, stimulus
Look for the U.S. economy to bounce back in 2021 from its most severe challenges since the Great Depression, a recovery that would benefit from continued federal relief and stimulus spending, according to a Cornell economist.
“(This year) is going to be so much better than 2020,” said Steven Kyle, associate professor in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, part of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business. “You will think you’re in a different universe.”
Kyle presented his annual projection for the national economy at Dyson’s 2021 Agricultural and Food Business Outlook Conference, held virtually Jan. 25. The conference also featured presentations on New York’s farm workforce and markets for dairy, fruit, vegetables and wine.
