You are about to plant the most expensive crop of your career.
“Inflation is real,” says Chris Barron, a national financial consultant for Ag View Solutions and Iowa farmer.
Based on data from his farmer clients in more than 20 states and Canada, the average cost of production for corn is up $120 per acre from last year. For soybeans, it will cost $85 to $90 more per acre to plant.
