A west central Indiana farmer says rising ag input prices are casting a dark cloud over 2022.
Tippecanoe County farmer Kevin Underwood says supply chain disruptions are even more complicated as the next generation returns to the farm.
“Our youngest daughter is coming back and will be starting right back in our farming operation where we’ll be three generations operating side by side,” he says. “We’re seeing this huge escalation in input prices and wondering what’s that going to do to us as far as squeezing that bottom line and trying to make this all profitable as we go forward.”
He says it’s concerning when planning for 2022, but “I had a meeting with our main input supplier just this past week and was reassured that they have most all of their needs are in house.
