Seasonal optimism amid rising farm input costs in Roblin
Local farmer Robert Misko says optimism remains high for 2022/23 despite steep increases in fertilizer and fuel costs. He notes farmers face about a 100 percent fertilizer price rise, adding up to $250,000 extra on a 2000 acre farm, with no guaranteed yield. He warns the stress is rising but community remains essential to Roblin’s economy.
