  3. The price of seeds is rising, but starting it out it rose just small amount, and the farmers didnt really care because they were genically engineered and produced better crops. But now the price of them are going up again and its causing some problems.

  4. The Farmers are mad because the seeds cost a lot, the price has increased. Plus this winter has been bad, people are still getting freezes and snow. There are so many bugs, and they have to take care of them and treat the plants.

  5. I think that this is outragious. if the price of everything else in the country is droping and the prices of the most important industry in the word is rising. the government needs to do anything the can to tryand help lower the prices of seeds so that farms can stay operational and produce a crop.

  7. Famers are so upset this year do to the high increase in the price of seeds, the most important purchase that a farmer makes every year. Due to the high prices, famers are losing money. Also, because of the prices, the prices of the products have to be raised so that the famers can raise money. Another problem that the famers are having is that there are a lot of pests and herbicides.
