Blake Hurst, farmer and former President of the Missouri Farm Bureau joins the Mark Reardon Show to discuss how inflation and high gas prices have affected farmers, the agricultural industry, and eventually consumers.
“Our combine holds 250 gallons, so when I fill it up this fall it’s gonna cost $1,250. So that really puts a dent in your weekend plans,” Hurst shared
Later, Hurst commented on his friends situation, “There has been no indication that there’s an end to this… He’s getting ready to lay off some of his employees, not because they don’t have work, but because they can’t find the supplies to keep his people busy.”
