All attention has now changed to looming challenges for 2023

Mostly the same concerns as 2022

A short list:

• Fertilizer : Extremely high cost !
•  Increases in Seed Costs

• Chemicals:  Shortage of some products and higher costs
• Equipment repairs:  Shortage of workers and delayed parts to repair equipment
• Fuel:  High costs
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Corn + Soybeans :

Jan + Feb  winter weather + soil conditions were on the dryer side compared to normal.

March rains , light snowy days and below normal temps lower chances of an Early Spring ??
