East Central Iowa farmer David Walton says he may tweak this year’s crop rotation because of record input prices.  

“Inputs have a big effect this year and fertilizer prices are a big deal so we may switch a few acres back to soybeans over corn to save a little bit on the input side,” he says. “Right now, corn pencils out pretty well so it’s going to be a tough decision, but we look at that from time to time and usually around the first of March we’ll nail that down.”

Walton tells Brownfield availably of herbicides is another concern.
