A southwest Iowa farmer is concerned about tight margins.
Carl Jardon of Randolph says input costs remain high.
“Of course our price for corn and soybeans has come down, so margins are tight.”
He tells Brownfield uncertainty in the ag economy is causing more risk.
“It’s kind of scary. The last couple years I only took 75 percent crop insurance, but this year I upped it to 80 when it looked so dry and we’re due for one of those severe droughts I would think.”
Jardon says there was some snow over the winter, but soils are dry to begin the growing season.
