Dale Nordquist Bumper Quotations

Fertilizer costs are up big-time, and fuel costs went from $13,000 to $19,000 (for an average farm), and that's a huge increase. The concern is, what happens if we don't get that bumper crop next year? It's not likely that livestock is going to continue to be as profitable as it was last year.

We need another bumper yield like we had last year or this is going to be a very difficult year to make ends meet.
