American farmers are looking at a loss of $100 per acre if something doesn’t change.
American farmers are facing a profitability crisis in the current markets.
Some economists estimate that growers could LOSE $100 per acre this year if costs and prices continue as they are.
NCGA is always looking for ways to boost corn demand and increase prices for America’s crop.
But with skyrocketing input costs, onerous duties on fertilizer, and the spiking cost of diesel fuel, our growers are feeling the pinch from both sides of the equation.
So NCGA has convened a task force aimed at addressing those rising costs as well.
And in this episode, we talk to NCGA First Vice President Matt Frostic, who’s leading this effort to find savings for American corn farmers.
He’s joined by NCGA VP of Sustainable Production & Value Chain Engagement Sean Arians, NCGA’s staff lead on the task force, as well as NCGA staff economist Gretchen Kuck, to explore the tools that NCGA has at its disposal in this time of extreme difficulty.
As always, NCGA’s greatest strength is the voice of its members.
