In a speech at the annual meeting of Nebraska Farm Bureau in Kearney, ag economist Dr. David Kohl listed five key adjustments top producers are making to stay afloat in the down ag economy:

  • Cut rent by $50/acre
  • Cut input costs $50/acre
  • Cut family living $25/acre/unit
  • Implementing marketing and risk management programs
  • Diversifying income streams

Kohl discussed those points in an interview with Brownfield.
