An economist suggests there are two sides to the inflation coin with implications for agriculture.
Robert Fox with CoBank tells Brownfield while costs for goods are coming down, inflation on services keeps creeping higher.
“Services is mostly in human capital and wages, so in order for services to start to come down in any noticeable way we’re going to have to see wage growth rates level off, right. And we haven’t seen any evidence of that.”
He says the stickiness of inflation will be an issue for farmers as interest rates climb higher than what the market is penciling in.
