At the North Dakota Agribusiness Expo, the farm economy was a frequent topic of discussion. “It’s a circular thing that seems to happen every couple of years where the bubble has to burst,” said North Dakota Agricultural Association President Jason Dannelly. “The question is, how are we going to weather the storm?” Dannelly emphasized that planning for the future starts now. “A lot of it is budgeting and understanding what some of those costs might be for the next year, whether it’s a new piece of equipment, the cost of seed or any of the inputs that they’re putting into their operation.”
