With farming comes a lot of risk-taking. From knowing when to plant crops, will there be extreme weather, and whether the revenue after harvest is more than that cost to plant and maintain them? We've all felt the impact of inflation, and farmers are certainly not immune to that. The input costs ranging from diesel, seed, fertilizer, and pesticides have skyrocketed, making it more crucial to produce a good crop.
