FARM ACTIVITIES
Field work:
Started some strip- tillage
Spraying weeds for pre-plant weed control
All attention is on the looming challenges for 2022
2022 is already a challenging year and we haven’t even planted a seed.
A short list:
- Fertilizer : Lack of supply, Shortages, for Phosphates and Potash but especially concerning is nitrogen for the corn crop. Extremely high cost, 3x and 4x cost of last year
- Chemicals: Shortage of some products and higher costs
- Equipment repairs: Shortage or delayed parts to repair equipment
- Fuel: Higher costs; propane to dry corn, diesel fuel, DEF supply?
