There’s a lot of time to think while sitting behind the wheel of a combine. Right now, Northwest wheat farmers are wrapping up their harvest in many areas. But across the country, farmers are losing money on every load of that golden grain. “You have to be wired differently to do this work,” says farmer and grain consultant Kevin Duling, of Maupin, Ore. “It’s very frustrating. It’s very stressful.” The wheat price was already suffering under President Donald Trump’s trade wars and robust global competition. The Northwest used to export the vast majority of its grain, largely to Pacific Rim countries and China, according to the Washington Grain Commission . The National Association of Wheat Growers estimates that since last year, U.S. wheat farmers have lost about $430 million in trade to China. But then, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report that said farmers are expected to harvest a lot of corn and wheat this season. The corn futures market dropped 25 cents a bushel

The Mariners have had a rough 2019. Since a white-hot start came to a screeching halt, Seattle has fallen out of MLB relevance and playoff contention for the 19th consecutive year. With almost two full months left in the season, the Ms are 10 games under 500 and sitting dead-last in the AL West. If you thought things couldn't get any worse though, tough luck: Tuesday morning, the MLB announced that Mariners utility player Tim Beckham had been suspended for 80 games after a test came back positive for a performance enhancing substance. 08/06/2019 Seattle PI Mariners
SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners infielder Tim Beckham has been suspended 80 games as part of baseball's joint drug agreement after testing positive for stanozolol, a banned performance enhancer, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. Beckham's suspension is effective immediately and ends his season. In a statement released through the players' association, Beckham says he took a product from a "trusted source, who had advised it was safe to take. Regrettably, the product was tainted." Beckham says he appealed but an independent arbitrator upheld the suspension. "I accept full responsibility for putting myself in this situation," Beckham said. Beckham was hitting .237 with 15 home runs and 47 RBIs in 88 games this season, his first in Seattle. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2008 was a starter at the beginning of the year but had moved into a utility role over the past couple of months, playing all four infield positions and in left field. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports 08/03/2019 Seattle PI Mariners
HOUSTON (AP) — Aaron Sanchez has been pulled after pitching six hitless innings in his Houston debut, and the Astros are working on a combined no-hitter through eight innings against the Seattle Mariners. Sanchez struck out six, walked two and hit a batter with a pitch Saturday night — three days after he was acquired from Toronto at the trade deadline. He was replaced by Will Harris to start the seventh after throwing 92 pitches. Harris and Joe Biagini, also obtained from the Blue Jays in the same deal that netted Sanchez, have each worked a hitless inning in relief. The Astros lead 7-0. Houston manager AJ Hinch patted Sanchez on the chest after he finished the sixth, and pitching coach Brent Strom offered a hearty handshake. The 27-year-old Sanchez was an All-Star in 2016, but has struggled this season and entered Saturday's game having lost 13 straight decisions to lead the majors with 14 losses. Houston has a history of improving the performance of pitchers it acquires. "We don't have magic dust," Hinch insisted after Sanchez was added. Still, the right-hander was eager to get going with his new team. "I'm sure there's things that are on their mind and things that are on my mind. It's an open line of communication here," Sanchez said. "I'm thrilled to see what they've got for me. I'm thrilled to kind of share my thoughts with them and bounce ideas off of each other and see where it goes." Sanchez plunked Omar Narváez with two outs in the first inning and retired the next nine batters before walking Daniel Vogelbach with two outs in the fourth. Ryan Court hit a soft grounder with two outs in the fifth but first baseman Yuli Gurriel fielded it and tossed it to Sanchez, who dashed to first base just in front of Court for the third out. Sanchez walked Mallex... Local Sports |
