Why American farmers are feeling squeezed |
It's been a tough year for America's farmers. Production costs are up, while prices for soybeans and corn have taken a nosedive since their 2022 peaks. |

The National Corn Growers Association calls it an "economic crisis hitting rural America," noting this is the third consecutive year farmers have faced widening negative profit margins. Trade groups say tariffs could make the situation even worse by driving up the cost of imports and prompting retaliatory action from countries that purchase from the U.S. | Heath Donner's farm during last year's peanut harvest.
