This is a time of real uncertainty for agriculture in Minnesota. 

Crop prices are fluctuating, the cost of fuel and fertilizer remains high, and tariffs and global trade uncertainty are adding another layer of pressure on farmers trying to make a profit. 

As spring planting season begins, farmers need to make some big decisions — facing a lot of unknowns. 

For many families, farming is not just tied to income, but to identity, tradition, and generations of work. So when things feel unstable, the impact goes far beyond the farm.  

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks about how Minnesota farmers are managing the challenges.

If you're a farmer, how are things going right now? What’s been difficult? And, what’s helping you get through? If you’re not a farmer, what questions do you have for our guests? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
