Ag Input Concerns

Farmers are currently facing challenges as they transition into preparing for the 2022 planting season. The price of farm inputs is rising, and it is happening quickly. Supply chain issues are part of the story behind this problem. Three out of every ten farmers in the country expect input prices to rise over 8%, and unfortunately more farmers are moving towards this belief. Some even believe that input prices could be raised by a higher percentage than 8%.
