2021 brought plenty of new content to the Magnetic audience, but one particular feature seemed to get a lot of traction.
The Movers & Shakers series focused on highlighting interesting individuals doing interesting work in agriculture. From AgTech entrepreneurs and content creators to farmers and agribusiness leaders, we sought to highlight cool people doing cool stuff.
For today, we thought a ‘Year in Review’ was appropriate. So here are our top 5 most read Movers & Shakers articles from 2021:

→ A pig dip. The December Pigs & Hogs report noted a decrease of 4% of U.S. pig inventory versus last year and a 1% decline from September.
→ Butter has seen better… The dairy staple is hitting price highs as high feed costs for dairy farmers pushed margins lower all while the U.S. herd shrunk by 85,000 head between May and September.
→ USDA to upgrade. The department is testing its Respondent Portal with 15,000 producers to better collect data and report on the upcoming 2022 Census of Agriculture.
