What farmers are saying

Growers we spoke to described a season shaped by the weather, input costs and what buyers are willing to pay. Many are planning more carefully, keeping records and comparing prices across markets before they sell.

Extension officers say the farmers doing best are those who test their soil, choose certified seed and join groups that can bargain with buyers on their behalf.
