Boozman said work must be done to enhance the safety net for farmers and ranchers in the farm bill. “Here’s the reality; producers are experiencing unprecedented challenges, regulatory uncertainty, and historic volatility in the farm economy,” said Boozman. “A producer from Minnesota told me recently that record-high input costs coupled with declining crop prices would mean that she would have to harvest a record yield just to break even.”
