Rains delaying crop planting to continue into coming week COLUMBIA, Mo. — “Not much crop planting in the week ahead,” said Pat Guinan, University of Missouri Extension climatologist. “Unsettled wet weather is expected to continue.” In the first of the agronomy teleconferences with MU Extension specialists, Guinan said the slow start on 2015 crop planting won’t improve soon. While there are no indications of strong rainfall, the heaviest precipitation is expected over the coming weekend, Guinan said. Temperatures in mid-April hit highs of only the mid-60s, with below-normal temperatures expected next week. Regional agronomists from across the state said farmers were “getting antsy” about not starting to plant. Wayne Flanary, agronomist at Oregon, Mo., said he sees few planted cornfields, with the northernmost one at Mound City, north of St. Joseph. Dave Reinbott, Benton, said
there was some corn up and looking good in the Missouri Bootheel, but that crop planting was delayed. While rainfall was uneven across the state, Guinan said, some areas in central and southeastern Missouri had over 2 inches of rainfall last week. “After a fairly dry winter, we’ve seen precipitation running above normal in most areas. The driest counties are in far northeast Missouri.” With delayed planting, there was little to report on crop pests by the regional specialists. However, wet, cool weather proves different for grass farmers. Rob Kallenbach said pastures on 12 farms monitored across the state grew up to 200 pounds of dry matter per day. “It’s almost unheard of,” he said. Heavy grass growth is more than grazing cattle can keep up with. There will be forage for baling for winter feed. However, wet weather will be challenging. “Baleage, or plastic-wrapped

big bales of wet hay, is one option,” Kallenbach said. However, the burst of growth isn’t expected to continue as coolseason grasses reach their spring growth peak. Tim Schnakenberg, Galena, in southwestern Missouri, said alfalfa weevils were the hot topic in his area. Farmers have trouble controlling the annual pest on the legume crop. “Newly established stands are hardest hit,” Schnakenberg said. Alfalfa weevils are a bigger issue in southern Missouri than in the north, said Wayne Bailey, MU Extension entomologist. With continued wet weather, fungal pathogens could hit the weevil larvae, Bailey said. “We may not have to spray much. However, in dry areas of the north, the fungus may not develop.” Bailey urges producers to scout alfalfa fields often. The youngest larvae hide in growing tips of alfalfa. They can be in large numbers almost before they become visible.

These blue states have tried the Elizabeth Warren model. Their residents are fleeing. by Stephen Moore The Daily Signal / Commentary Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently appeared on one of the late night talk shows, beating the class warfare drum and arguing for billions of dollars in new social programs paid for with higher taxes on millionaires and billionaires. In recent years, though, blue states such as California, Illinois, Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland and Minnesota adopted this very strategy, and they raised taxes on their wealthy residents. How did it work out? Almost all of these states lag behind the national average in growth of jobs and incomes. So, if income redistribution policies are the solution to shrinking the gap between rich and poor, why do they fail so miserably in the states? The blue states that try to lift up the poor with high taxes, high welfare benefits, high minimum wages and other Robin Hood policies tend to be the places where the rich end up the richest and the poor the poorest. California is the prototypical example. It has the highest tax rates of
any state. It has very generous welfare benefits. Many of its cities have a high minimum wage. But day after day, the middle class keeps leaving. The wealthy areas such as San Francisco and the Silicon Valley boom. Yet the state has nearly the highest poverty rate in the nation. The Golden State, alas, has become the inequality state. In a new report called “Rich States, Poor States” that I write each year for the American Legislative Exchange Council with Arthur Laffer and Jonathan Williams, we find that five of the highest-tax blue states in the nation — California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois — lost some 4 million more U.S. residents than entered these states over the last decade. Meanwhile, the big lowtax red states — Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia — gained about this many new residents. So much for liberal policies creating a workers paradise. One liberal economic think tank — the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy — recently issued a report on the states with the most and least “regressive” tax systems. The conclusion was that states should raise their income taxes on the rich to be more “fair.” Except it turns out that people are leaving the states that the think tank ranks as fair, and they are
moving to the states the think tank ranks as economically backward. The least “regressive” tax states had average population growth from 2003 to 2013 that lagged below the national trend. The 10 most highly “regressive” tax states, including nine with no state income tax, had population growth on average 4 percent above the U.S. average. Why was that? Because states without income taxes have twice the job growth of states with high tax rates. Unlike the experts at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, most Americans think that fairness means having a job. Ohio University economist Richard Vedder and I compared the income gap in states with higher tax rates, higher minimum wages and more welfare benefits with states on the other side of the policy spectrum. There was no evidence that states with these liberal policies had helped the poor much and, in many cases, these states recorded more income inequality than other states as measured by the left’s favorite statistic called the Gini Coefficient.
The 19 states with minimum wages above the $7.25 per hour federal minimum do not have lower income inequality. States with a super minimum wage — such as Connecticut ($9.15), California ($9.00), New York ($8.75), and Vermont ($9.15) — have significantly wider gaps between rich and poor than states without a super minimum wage. States are supposed to be laboratories of democracy, right? These laboratories are providing us with concrete evidence that Robin Hood policies don’t help make the poor richer, they make most people poorer. In other words, the blue states have tried the Elizabeth Warren “progressive” agenda and people are voting with their feet by fleeing in droves. The kinds of income redistribution policies that Warren and others endorse can only work by building a Berlin Wall so no one can leave— though I hope I’m not giving them any ideas.

Why are many former workers not even applying for job openings? by Patrick Tyrrell The Daily Signal There was good news this month: private-sector job openings rose slightly in February, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Openings rose to 3.8 percent of all privatesector jobs and the job openings—the highest rate since January 2001. Other data for the month showed the unemployment rate for workers age 25-54 (often called prime age workers) ticked downward to 4.6 percent from 4.8 percent.
More people who want jobs are finding them, but there is something else going on as well. The labor force participation rate for prime age workers has continued to decline. Fewer of them are working or actively looking for work than before. How can job openings stand at 14-year highs, but the labor force participation rate for prime age people hover around levels not seen since 1984? University of Chicago economics professor Casey Mulligan suspects he knows why. As detailed in his 2012 book, and elaborated on more recently in his blog, and in The Wall Street Journal, Congress made major changes to antipoverty subsidies and regulations during the Great Recession. All these changes provided more benefits that phase out as recipients earn more money. For example, the fed-
eral Lifeline Assistance Program began to give free cell phones and free monthly cell phone usage to applicants if their income was low enough. Mortgage-assistance programs cut the mortgage payments of people if they were not working, but those with jobs still paid full price. The Obamacare health subsidies fall as earnings rise, which is a tax on labor activity. Mulligan calculates that the marginal tax rate, that is the extra taxes paid, and government subsidies foregone on an extra dollar earned working if taking a job
rose from 40 percent to 48 percent within two years of the onset of the Great Recession. As the recession began, the labor force participation rate fell along with the job openings rate. But as job openings rebounded labor force participation remained stagnant. People who had left the labor force did not come back. As Mulligan says, “Helping people is valuable but not free.
The more you help lowincome people, the more low-income people you’ll have. The more you help unemployed people, the more unemployed people you’ll have.” Mulligan tells the story of a recruiter he met who had many people turn down jobs he offered them because “accepting a job would net them less than $2 per hour, so they would rather stay home.” If people do not work for $2 per hour, that does not mean they are lazy. It means they are reasonable. Unfortunately the decision to avoid work to avoid losing government benefits—while often rational in the short term—has terrible longterm effects. Skills atrophy the longer someone is out of work, and government benefits carry with them no chance for promotion or advancement. To fix this, each existing government subsidy meant to help the poor and unemployed should be examined by lawmakers to determine whether it creates incentives to work or to stay on welfare. Work requirements should be strengthened on all means-tested assistance, and the tax system should be overhauled to ensure that it doesn’t penalize work. Moving people from welfare to the workforce is a win for individuals and a win for society as a whole. It’s time for the government to stop encouraging potential workers to stay home.
