Farm Operations Face Cost Pressure Amid Rising Input Prices in Indiana
What happened
Brant Family Ag farms are currently harvesting corn and soybeans in Clinton County and Tippecanoe County. Farmers report that rising costs for inputs, including diesel fuel, spraying fees, and machinery, are increasing operational expenses. Despite this, the prices received for corn and soybeans are not increasing to match the rising costs. Indiana Governor Mike Braun allowed the use of tax-exempt dyed diesel during peak harvest season due to a gas tax suspension.
