Although input costs are higher, one risk management specialist says few farmers are switching from corn to soybeans.
Mike North with ever.ag tells Brownfield he’s been traveling to many events in seven states and asking farmers about their planting intentions. “I ask every crowd the same question. Are you going to plant more beans than you are corn as a response to what’s going on with inputs? If I’m lucky, I might get one hand to go up in every crowd.”
North says the cost of inputs is dramatically higher, but there’s still potential for profit in corn.
