U.S. Farm Exports Forecast and Farmers Climate Change Solution Friday Mar 5th, 2021 From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update. **Agricultural crime remains a serious problem in many parts of California, though reported crimes declined in some rural counties the past year.

Some crews that clear dump sites have been reduced due to pandemic concerns. **U.S. farm exports are forecast by the USDA to hit a record $157 billion this year, aided by a weaker dollar against many foreign currencies.
