We welcome DTN’s Todd Hultman’s on a special edition of Field Posts this week to discuss what we know, and the many things we don’t as the Russia-Ukraine War continues to escalate.
As fighting continues and civilians and civilian infrastructure seem to be increasingly targeted for attacks, ag market watchers the world over wait and watch for news not only on the fate of the Ukrainian people, but also on the vast collateral damage the conflict is likely to wreak on a growing region of global importance.
We’ll talk about the uncertain wheat supply and what it might mean for regional food security, Russian sanctions and the financial fallout, and what soaring energy prices and significant uncertainty might mean as farmers in the US and elsewhere prepare for planting in a world still recovering from a pandemic and substantial weather stress.
