A pair of Western Corn Belt farmers say availability of inputs are their top concern this growing season.
Doug Bartek raises corn and soybeans in Eastern Nebraska and tells Brownfield most of his chemicals have been purchased except fertilizer. “I had purchased early on some crop inputs that I do have in the shed,” he says. “On beans I’m in pretty good shape, but the corn fertilizer, that is really going to sting.”
He says there still uncertainty for many growers.
