Like many farmers around the country, Robert Stobaugh of Arkansas is facing challenges getting the products and parts he needs this spring.
He tells Brownfield outside of Mother Nature it’s his biggest concern. “We purchased all we could possibly think of early on in anticipation of some slow freight,” he says. “We did pretty good. But now, we’re being told that some of the things we’re going to need in the not-so-distant future are getting a little bit hard to get as far as inputs.”
Stobaugh says the availability issue goes beyond crop protection and fertilizer products.
