Well we all experienced a time zone change there this weekend unless you're in Arizona. And did you know that farmers were some of daylight savings times loudest opponents? When the US adopted daylight savings time in 1918, many farmers objected. Livestock and crops follow sunlight, not the clock. The shift meant darker mornings and disrupted market schedules. The time change farmers get blamed for was one they fought. Share this with someone who still blames farmers for daylight savings time. From the farmers Almanac, the newly defunct organization after being around since 1818.
The alarm has been sounding for farmers and it's getting louder. American farmers have been squeezed by artificially inflated fertilizer costs for too long. Now according to Bloomberg, the DOJ is reportedly investigating whether some of the nation's largest fertilizer companies colluded to raise prices. TCPA President Hagen Hunt said we're grateful to see this step forward. Farmers across this country have been dealing with artificially inflated input costs for far too long and an investigation will send a clear signal that those days may be numbered. Our farm families deserve a fair and competitive marketplace and we are encouraged by the reports that the DOJ is working to deliver one.
