Fueling our Farms: How Federal Policies are Raising Energy Costs in Rural Minnesota

The Minnesota Department of Commerce and Falk’s Seed Farms are hosting a roundtable discussion on how rising energy-related input costs are affecting farmers, rural households, and local economies across Minnesota. Farmers and rural communities have been hit hard this year as fertilizer, fuel, grain drying, and electricity costs have climbed, while crop prices have declined, tightening margins for farm operations. This conversation will bring together state officials, farmers, community action leaders, and rural environmental advocates to discuss the financial pressures facing agricultural communities, the federal and global policies driving energy cost increases, and opportunities to support affordability and resilience in rural Minnesota.
