Iowa farmer concerned about 2023 inputs

A western Iowa farmer has had better than expected yields this harvest, but says inputs for next year are top of mind.

Kevin Ross of Minden says he’s keeping a close eye on fertilizer costs. “The early fall numbers were higher than where we started out last year,” he said. “With what those numbers look like already, those are concerning.”

He tells Brownfield he’s also anticipating higher seed prices for 2023.
