AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Beef Prices: USDA data shows retail beef hit record highs in April, with economists pointing to a shrinking U.S. cattle herd driven by drought and tight supply—not just general inflation. Oil & Gas Watch: Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission filings include a new Stephens Field drilling permit for Betsy Production Company and a plugging report in the Ouachita County Pace City Field. Data Center Backlash: A national look at the data center boom finds states are moving from incentives to guardrails, with lawmakers weighing power-grid and utility-bill impacts. Consumer Protection: State AGs are stepping up scrutiny of algorithmic pricing and online age verification, raising enforcement risk for companies targeting minors. Retirement Policy: Philadelphia is moving toward an automatic, city-sponsored retirement plan for workers whose employers don’t offer benefits, joining a broader push for automatic enrollment. Agribusiness & Security: A new survey finds growing public concern about agricultural disease threats and strong support for regulations to reduce spread. Local Grants: RRCU Gives opens grant applications June 1 for nonprofits focused on hunger, housing and financial education across five states.
