Bluffton grain farmers will have challenging year

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2016 - 2:03pm

By Ed Lentz – OSU Extension, Hancock County
Grain farmers will have a challenging year in 2016 according to most forecasts. A large 2015 crop and weak world demand for grain has diminished the chance of significant increases in grain prices for the short term.

Farmers will try to reduce costs, but in many situations not enough reduction to offset low grain prices. Thus profit margins may be tight in the coming year.
