Pricing Crop Inputs for ’25

As year-end approaches, crop input decisions are being locked in. Farmers Business Network Senior Vice President Ian Loar said this is an opportunity for farmers to price in their spring needs. “We’re back to pre-pandemic price levels, particularly in crop protection; fertilizers are also in a trough right now, it’s a good time to buy,” said Loar. “There’s a lot of uncertainty on the horizon though. We don’t know what 2025 is going to bring with tariffs and different regulatory issues that could arise.”
