Inflation in the ag sector is more tied to farmers having disposable money than anything. Most of what we buy is priced at what the market will bear. Interest rates and fuel are probably the biggest inputs we can't negotiate or get around somehow. Lock in interest when it is low, and quit buying and borrowing when it is to high for you. Fuel is not a make or break line item in most farmers' operations. Insurance can be a pain, but use higher deductibles and self insure more. All these things are faced by small businesses as well. Do more yourself. I don't know, just tired of all of the doom and gloom on here.
There is a lot of people with the mindset, especially in regards to buying land or other real estate, that whatever it costs today, it will cost more tomorrow, so it’s better to finance it today at a lower purchase price and pay for it down the road with inflated dollars.
