Farmers expecting multiple challenges in 2023

To say some farmers in the province are apprehensive about 2023 would be an understatement.

After a year of significant price increases on gas and food, there’s reason to believe it’s only going to get worse next year.

The main reasons appear to be the war in Ukraine, the annual carbon tax increase, and the continual rise of interest rates.

Kerry Peterson, a Shellbrook area farmer, told farmnewsNOW it’s hard to be optimistic with all these challenges.
