Farmers and ranchers are no strangers to adversity, but today’s challenges are testing the resilience of Kansas agriculture. Ongoing trade disputes and tariffs have disrupted markets and reduced export opportunities, driving crop prices lower while input costs for seed, fertilizer, and equipment remain high. The result is tighter margins and tougher decisions for many Kansas producers.
This program will provide an overview of the current farm financial situation and explore strategies to manage expenses, monitor markets for pricing opportunities, and make the most of safety nets programs like crop insurance and government commodity programs. Specialists will also discuss trends in Kansas land values, tools for managing farm stress, and considerations for retirement or transitioning the farm to the next generation.
