It’s been a tough stretch for Kansas farmers as lower commodity prices are colliding with higher costs to raise a crop.
Kansas Wheat Commission vice president of research and operations Aaron Harries spoke about the issue during a recent conversation on Within Reason with Mike Matson on News Radio KMAN. He said farmers are dealing with tighter margins from drought and rising input costs.
“What’s really concerning is the lack of predictability,” he said. “Tariffs going up and down — it’s hard to have any predictability in a business you’re operating when there’s uncertainty there.”
