Hunt shares input woes

A Michigan grower says it’s a scary time to be a farmer with the dramatic rise in input costs.

Bill Hunt tells Brownfield, “I’m just very fearful going into next year’s harvest if we don’t have opportunities to sell at levels that are profitable at normal yields.”

Hunt says while a 40 percent increase in chemistry costs was planned for this growing season, the 100 percent uptick in diesel fuel was not.
