AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Grain & Rail Costs: Rail fuel surcharges on U.S. grain shipments have more than doubled in a year, hitting record highs and squeezing Illinois-area farmers right as harvest ramps up. Livestock & Health: CME reports cattle futures ticking higher amid screwworm concerns, while a public hearing is set for a proposed hog facility near Potomac, with neighbors pressing for environmental safeguards. Food Security: A new Chicago-area hunger report says about 1 in 3 households face food insecurity, with the worst rates on the South and West sides. Energy & Transit: South Shore Line will run with fewer cars during downtown Chicago construction for months. Ag Markets: Chicago soybeans edged up on strong Chinese demand and higher crude oil prices, while wheat remains sensitive to Black Sea shipping risks. Illinois Innovation: The Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park update renews the push for quantum R&D on Chicago’s South Side, with clear messaging that it’s not a data-center plan. Healthcare: Illinois is notifying hundreds of thousands of Medicaid enrollees about coverage loss or risk, setting up another wave of pressure on hospitals.
