What is the Ag Outlook for 2024?
The annual crop insurance policy will remain unchanged with the new farm bill being worked on. That means 2024 should be the year for you to focus on your farm and the team surrounding it. Your operations should aim to break even and increase yields, as 2024 will be a year of tight margins and more challenging conditions. To ensure that your farm thrives, it's crucial to have a trusted team around you. Make sure you know and trust your ag lender, insurance agent, seed dealer, and agronomist. With the current environmental challenges, this team can help you navigate the tight margins and reduce the risk of errors.
