DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Agriculture economists have long warned that aging farmers are staying on their land longer, delaying turnover to a younger generation. But Ohio State University agriculture economist Carl Zulauf says the fears have been overstated. Zulauf said in a report last month that history shows there’s an influx of young farmers when it’s possible to earn a good living. Farm income will likely reach a record $131 billion this year.
Iowa State University economist Mike Duffy still worries that the percentage of farm land held by people older than 75 has increased at an unprecedented pace in the last two decades. Lindsey Lusher Shute, a 34-year-old farmer from Clermont, New York says getting started has been “incredibly difficult” but she and her husband are slowly making it work.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs put defensive back Sanders Commings on injured reserve Saturday with a shoulder injury and promoted linebacker Josh Martin from the practice squad. The Chiefs (9-2) play the Denver Broncos (9-2) on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium.
Commings was the Chiefs’ fifth-round draft pick out of Georgia. He broke his collarbone early in training camp and spent the first part of the season on short-term IR. Commings only played in two games and made one tackle before sustaining what coach Andy Reid called a shoulder injury.
Martin joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in May. He was inactive for the first three games before spending time on the practice squad.
