Beef ranchers in Mexico have been struggling with a parasite called a “screwworm”. The flesh-eating parasite has been infecting cattle to the point that the United States has banned entry into the country from Mexican-raised beef cattle. Edi Valencia Santos, a rancher and caretaker, said that Mexican government officials have come to his community to talk to people with livestock, but so far without resources. He has had five infected animals on the ranch so far. In the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala, the New World screwworm fly’s rapid spread appears to have caught most ranchers off guard, despite memories…

Last Friday, the European Commission said it would reduce support under the Ukraine Facility program from a €4.5 billion ($5.2 billion) installment to €3.05 billion ($3.5 billion), citing Kiev’s failure to meet commitments on anti-corruption reforms. The European Union is citing Ukrainian ruler Volodymyr Zelensky’s crackdown on anti-corruption as the reason for removing aid. Ukrainskaya Pravda has reported that the program has been de facto frozen, alongside another mechanism, ERA Loans, with a total of $60 billion at stake. It’s difficult not to notice that at one point, Zelensky had demanded that the West give him Russia’s frozen assets in…
The latest USDA cattle report shows America’s cattle and calves herd population has fallen to 94.2 million, its lowest mid-year level since 1973. The nation’s shrinking herd size has pushed retail ground beef prices to record highs.

Bloomberg notes that while improved pasture conditions and higher beef prices at supermarkets and butcher shops have sparked some speculation about an incoming herd rebuilding cycle, there’s no clear evidence that this may materialize soon. Heifer numbers in animal feeding operations (known as feedlots) across…

On paper, they make sense. A smart thermostat can save you money. An A.I.-organized security system should catch things human eyes miss. Remote control features synced to your phone let you close the curtains and check to see if there’s milk in the fridge without getting off the couch.…
