Farmers say there isn’t a shortage of challenges facing the industry

From policy to weather, some farmers at this year’s Husker Harvest days say there is still plenty of uncertainty in the industry.

Eastern Nebraska farmer Dan Wesley says Mexico’s ban on GM and white corn could impact how he buys seed in 2024. “Should you raise white corn? Should we raise GM products? Is it going to Mexico? Is it not? That’s the immediate effect, right away.”

Farmer Daren Niemeyer says he hopes that the crop insurance title in the next farm bill remains strong even if the legislation is extended.
