Considering Historical Land Use Study is Now Available
A new study released by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago Energy Resources Center evaluates environmental and economic impacts of land use change (LUC) for land that moves in and out of cropland over decadal time periods. The study aimed to determine land use and soil organic carbon stocks on 1,000 land parcels over a 36-year period.
“As part of this study, we conducted a historical analysis going back to 1985 and found that longer time intervals need to be considered when determining the environmental and economic impacts of land use change,” lead researcher Ken Copenhaver with CropGrowr LLC and co-author of the study, noted. “Notably, this is something that current regulations are not taking into consideration.”
Using advanced satellite imagery and aerial photography, the researchers discovered their findings challenge previous studies that primarily focused on shorter time intervals, often less than 10 years, when examining LUC. Out of the 1,000 land parcels analyzed, 371 parcels that were previously identified as land use change from native grasslands remained in cropland, while 611 parcels transitioned into non-cropland. Additionally, 18 parcels were identified as non-cropland. Interviews conducted with growers in these areas, some of whom were associated with LUC parcels, revealed that the most common reasons for returning land to crop were difficulties in re-enrolling land in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and reduced cattle prices. Surprisingly, increased demand was not a significant factor.
“The insight gained from this study helps us understand the long term impacts on land use and allows us to have the best data available when modeling the life cycle of corn,” stated Stan Nelson, Iowa Corn Promotion Board President.
The study was commissioned by state corn organizations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota and Wisconsin. It provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders involved in land use planning and management.

Additionally, the Council’s Advisory Teams (A-Teams) presented the results of their discussions at the meeting and USGC President and CEO Ryan LeGrand gave a closing address.
“We are ready, we are willing, and we are already doing the hard work it takes to keep established markets open, open new markets and maintain robust trade for the commodities you grow as we head into a bright future beyond today, this year and for years to come,” LeGrand said. “You deserve it, your families deserve it, and our collective generations deserve the bright future we can start providing today.”
2024 Commodity Classic: Double the Opportunity to Hear Directly from the Country’s Key Leaders on Agriculture Priorities
In an unprecedented opportunity for Commodity Classic attendees, both United States Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan will keynote the General Session of this year’s event, fast approaching Feb. 28-March 2 in Houston. The General Session is Friday, March 1, 8:30-10:30 a.m. (CST) at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
The 2024 show, entitled “New Frontiers in Agriculture,” will also feature Mike Massimino in the esteemed General Session speaker lineup.

Retaining a longstanding crowd-pleaser, the session will again include a panel discussion with leaders of the five associations that present Commodity Classic each year: American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Sorghum Producers, and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
The list of issues affecting agriculture and that are important to U.S. farmers remains long and varied. Attendees can expect to hear from these two knowledgeable Cabinet members on a range of topics that may include farm bill, crop protection, biofuels, biotechnology, conservation, bioeconomy and more.
Secretary Vilsack was confirmed in February 2021 to serve as the 32nd U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. He returned to the role he previously filled for eight years, having been the longest-serving member of President Obama’s original Cabinet. Prior to that appointment, he served two terms as Governor of Iowa, served in the Iowa State Senate and as mayor of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
Administrator Regan was sworn in as the 16th Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency in March 2021, becoming the first Black man and second person of color to lead the U.S. EPA.

Prior to his nomination as EPA Administrator, he served as the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.
