We\u2018re facing an all-time high in diesel fuel; here in Virginia I\u2019m paying $5.63 a gallon for diesel fuel. We\u2018re at an all-time high for fertilizer; I\u2019m paying $900 a ton. \u2026 We just provided relief for Ukraine; we\u2019re going to be looking at some lawsuits there in the form of wheat and other commodities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roger Cryan, Chief Economist of the American Farm Bureau Federation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fb.org\/news\/addressing-inflation-critical-for-farmers-and-ranchers\">pointed out<\/a> the danger for farmers because of inflation. He stated in May, \u201cMarch\u2019s inflation was the highest in 40 years. \u2026 Inflation is a problem because it creates a lot of price uncertainty. It really creates a disconnect between long term and short-term lending, and probably most damaging is that it raises long-term interest rates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, this raises the farmer\u2019s costs of borrowing for expansion or for reinvestment on the farm,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat was really the biggest trouble with inflation back in the 70s and 80s for the farmers, it created a very painful decade in the 1980s, and it\u2019s really important to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Famers Association, noting the problems American farmers are having because of inflation, slammed President Biden as he appeared on NewsNation. \u201cWhen you say there\u2019s going to be food shortages, are we talking about things like what we see from Venezuela or from Cuba or from Russia, where &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":1521263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1521217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1521217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/60"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1521217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1521217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1521263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1521217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1521217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1521217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
