Farmers expect similar challenges in ’23: drought and input costs

Farmers attending this years Nebraska Farm Bureau meeting expect similar challenges for the 2023 growing season.

From a multi-year drought to severe weather and skyrocketing input prices, farmers could have another challenging year.

Aaron Kavan tells Brownfield moisture is desperately needed to recharge the soil profile. “Better yields and cheaper feed costs – hopefully maybe a little cheaper feed costs.  I would say both from the row crop and from the livestock side, hopefully, we can have an abundant crop next year.”

And, he says, the last measurable precipitation was in July.
