AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Workplace Safety: A new Labor Day look at job fatalities ranks logging as the deadliest occupation, with fishing, roofing, and structural iron/steel also among the highest fatality-rate roles, while 2024 still saw 5,070 U.S. workers die on the job. Public Safety in Mississippi: Claiborne County mourns Deputy Terrian Bailey, fatally shot while responding to a crowd after the Hermanville Day Festival; a woman was also shot but survived. Mississippi River & Logistics: Low river levels are disrupting boating on the Mississippi River, with dredging needed at a Rock Island marina during Labor Day. Energy & Costs: Gas prices are hitting record highs for Labor Day nationwide, with diesel also at an all-time high—keeping travel budgets tight. Industry & Infrastructure: Hyundai Steel’s $5.8 billion Louisiana mill breaks ground, aiming for lower-carbon steel production; meanwhile, the Lansing Mississippi River bridge in Iowa is now expected to open in early November, months ahead of schedule. Agriculture: Corn markets are rallying into harvest as river terminals and processors offer stronger premiums, though input and energy costs still squeeze profits. Workforce & Training: Mississippi State University Extension and Alabama Extension hosted 2026 graduate crops tours, connecting next-gen researchers to regional farming conditions.
