ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ The USDA report shows that although net farm income will be higher in 2025—mainly due to a 300% jump in government payments—crop receipts for corn, soybeans, and wheat are down and costs like wages, interest, and taxes are rising. The report also notes that bankruptcies have almost doubled in early 2025, which may force small farms to make difficult choices about crop production or land improvements. WHO 13

For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
