Farm Credit cooperative Compeer Financial CEO Rod Hebrink says Midwestern farmers continue to navigate uncertainty and recover from covid-related challenges.
“Last March and April we were looking at an outlook that was really pretty dismal for many of our commodities and since that time a lot of areas have recovered,” he says. “Dairy prices have moved from a low of $13 back up to into the $20-range. We were concerned about the ability to have a place to go with livestock and that’s largely been resolved.”
And he says some growers had to change the way they do business.
