Show Notes
Delaware farmers, facing dropping crop prices and rising costs, are struggling to break even despite good yields. The federal government provided eleven billion dollars in one-time payments, which Delaware farmers used for overdue expenses. Farmers shared mixed feelings at a recent summit, comparing the situation to the Great Depression. Prices per bushel for soybeans and corn have fallen significantly, and factors like tariffs and overproduction are adding to the strain. More federal aid is coming, but experts worry its just propping up an industry that needs real market fixes. Farmers plan to lock in prices early, cut inputs, and diversify to hold out hope for better days.
