Not enough data
Hongxia Jiao's coverage is heavily focused on agriculture and farming, particularly related to data-driven analysis of production, costs, and market implications. Given this focus, she would likely be interested in receiving pitches from experts who can provide in-depth insights into agricultural economics, farm management strategies, or the impacts of policy changes on farming practices.
As Hongxia frequently cites data in her articles and focuses on specific aspects of agriculture such as crop production costs and marketing trends, she may also appreciate pitches that offer access to proprietary or unique datasets that could support her analytical approach.
While no specific geographic focus was mentioned for Hongxia's coverage attributes, it is important to note that her themes covered are not tied to a particular region but rather revolve around the broader topic of agriculture and farming with an emphasis on economic analysis.

Gary Schnitkey, Nick Paulson, and Carl Zulauf - Gary Schnitkey - A steep decline in prices across years has resulted in low to negative average returns to Midwest farms in 2023 and projected for 2024. Crop insurance programs are not designed to cover the risk of multi-year price declines and current commodity title programs are also expected to provide little relief for these low prices. Modifying commodity title programs to make them more market-responsive would aid in providing relief to farmers.

Brenna Ellison, Maria Kalaitzandonakes, and Jonathan Coppess - Maria Kalaitzandonakes - Results from the most recent wave of the Gardner Food and Agricultural Policy Survey show that the average U.S. consumer is still feeling the effects of inflation. While the rate of inflation is slowing down, this does not mean prices experienced by households will be lower or that their perceptions of inflation are improving. Our results indicate that over the last two years, consumers remain quite pessimistic about inflation.

Carl Zulauf, Gary Schnitkey, Jonathan Coppess, and Nick Paulson - Carl Zulauf - Since the 1996 Farm Bill’s seminal policy change that gave farmers the freedom to decide which crops to plant or not plant, land in US farms has declined by 75 million acres or -8%. Most (88%) of the decline occurred in pastureland. It is thus incorrect to equate the loss of farmland to a loss of cropland. Cropland has declined by only -2% while pastureland has declined by -13%. The sizable decline in pastureland is consistent with the growth in confinement animal production.

Jonathan Coppess, Maria Kalaitzandonakes, and Brenna Ellison - Jonathan Coppess - In this farmdoc daily post, we review two years of survey results to add further perspectives on the politics of inflation. We find that while, indeed, Democrats are more optimistic about inflation – non-metro Democrats are significantly less optimistic than their metro counterparts. Similarly, non-metro Republicans were much more pessimistic about inflation than their metro-counterparts. For policy makers and candidates, these perspectives may feed deliberation.

Nick Paulson, Gary Schnitkey, Bradley Zwilling, and Carl Zulauf - Nick Paulson - Illinois crop budgets for 2025 are now available and, overall, projections are for lower production costs for corn and soybeans in 2025 compared with 2024. Break-even prices to cover all costs, including cash rent for farmland, range from $4.60 to $4.66 per bushel for corn and $11.01 to $11.56 per bushel for soybeans. Despite lower cost projections, current expectations for corn and soybean prices suggest negative farmer returns to corn and soybeans across all regions of Illinois in 2025.
