American Farm Bureau’s chief economist says clogged supply chains could make the holidays more challenging.
Roger Cryan says the pandemic led to consumers clogging supply lanes with purchases of goods instead of services.
“The ports are full of things that farmers and other manufacturers in the U.S. need. They’re also full of a lot of stuff people are buying for the holidays or anticipated to be bought for the holidays.”
Cryan tells Brownfield Ag News consumers can help ease some supply chain issues by shopping closer to home.
