    Grain Market Talk – October 14 with Sarah Sellars (SDSU Extension)

    Sarah Sellars, SDSU Extension specialist in sustainable farm & food systems, joins to break down the current farm financial picture in South Dakota. She covers rising fertilizer and diesel costs, tightening margins, land ownership challenges for younger producers, and the tools her team offers to help farmers plan ahead.

    Key points: Fertilizer now claims roughly 25% of gross revenue (up sharply since 2024), diesel is a smaller but growing expense, and ownership structure strongly influences practices like no-till. Sarah also shares updates on SDSU’s free crop budgets, monthly Ag Economic Dialogues, and other decision-aid tools.
