KANSAS (RFD NEWS) — Mixed weather patterns and fluctuating input costs are shaping planting decisions as progress ramps up across the country. We turn now to Kansas for a closer look at conditions on the ground.
Farmer John Jenkinson joins us on Friday’s Market Day Report with the latest from his region.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Jenkinson provides an update on current weather conditions and how they’re impacting planting progress. He also shares what he’s hearing from fellow producers and how this season compares to previous years.
Jenkinson also discusses whether concerns over fertilizer and diesel costs tied to geopolitical tensions have created hurdles, or if producers were able to secure inputs ahead of time, and whether prolonged disruptions could cause challenges later in the season.
