Looking back on 2024, Northland Farm Business Management Instructor Ron Dvergsten said there were a lot of missed opportunities. “The lack of timely marketing of carryover inventory of the 2023 crop cost many producers a fair amount of working capital just with the decrease in value,” said Dvergsten. “Some of that may still be binned at this point and we know how the markets eroded.” Going into this growing season, Dvergsten said farmers shouldn’t cheat their crops on the necessary inputs. However, “this is not the time to do a lot of experimental agronomic practices.” Belt-tightening is the recommendation for the year ahead.
