Farmers are still calling for certainty on key policies following the White House’s Great American Agriculture Celebration. Minnesota Corn Growers Association member Tim Weibel attended the event and says while it was an honor to be there, more long-term solutions are still needed. “We need year-round. We need certainty in the market if we’re going to expand this market. We need certainty with our producers,” Weibel said. “People aren’t going to spend that money unless we know that we can move a product year-round.” On the input side, Weibel says many farmers likely secured fertilizer ahead of recent price spikes tied to global tensions, but fuel costs remain a growing concern heading into planting season.
