Max Armstrong continues his conversation about rising input costs for farmers this time with a focus in U.S. agriculture. Energy is a key to so much inflation, but so have seed, fertilizer and crop protection products. Rising costs are crimping the opportunity to maintain profits even with higher commodity prices. A new report from the American Farm Bureau Federation shares some key details on cost increases.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
