RRFN Rural Perspectives #52

The markets continue to tell a story as prices trend upward. According to AgCountry Farm Credit Services Market Education Specialist Katie Tangen, weather is starting to play into market mentality. Some farmers in the Northern Plains put seed in the ground before the rain and snow started to fall, others did not. Weather uncertainty could start influencing planting and marketing decisions as well. In the latest RRFN Rural Perspectives, Tangen said farmers who’ve received some relief from dry conditions are more certain about production than those who haven’t.
