Dan talks with DeLoss Jahnke about the mounting economic pressures facing farmers and ranchers, from high beef prices and changing trade policy to the rising cost of simply operating a farm. They discuss the Trump administration’s recent move to temporarily expand lower-tariff beef imports, including beef from Argentina, as an effort to bring consumer prices down He explains why things feel particularly uncertain in agriculture right now, with farmers facing higher costs for fuel, equipment, fertilizer and transportation by truck and rail, while young farmers face an increasingly expensive path to getting started. He also discusses rising nitrogen, phosphate and sulfur-related fertilizer costs, how long those pressures could persist, and why careful risk management is especially important when farmers have little control over input costs, commodity prices, weather, government policy and global markets.
