The president of the American Soybean Association says he’s optimistic President Biden’s announcement addressing food availability and farm costs will provide some relief.
Northeast Arkansas farmer Brad Doyle says the expansion of double cropping insurance gives farmers more options for the upcoming growing season. “The opportunity to double crop, because we’re in planting season now, will not be until next year,” he says. “We have some time. Farmers can sit down and look at their rotational schedule and see if there’s the possibility, if we have a timely corn harvest, we can get in there and plant wheat.”
He tells Brownfield he was glad to see increased investments in domestic fertilizer production.
