They're striving for success while navigating the crossroads they face.
HOUSTON COUNTY, Ala. - When Cody and Ben McCardle agreed to take over their grandfather’s farm two years ago, they didn’t know then the challenges they’d be facing now.
“I wouldn’t wish this upon nobody,” expresses Cody McCardle. “Every day, it’s gonna be more and more money going down the drain.”“Chemicals are up, fertilizers up, triple if not four times the amount,” continues McCardle. “You know, some of the simple parts you need to get through the day, you can’t even get because they’re obsolete or nobody’s got them in stock.
“Producing fuel back in America,” says Cody McCardle. “Instead of buying it from all these other countries and importing it, I think that’s the only way that we’re gonna be able to overcome this.”“My granddaddy always said before he passed away, ‘farming is a hard life, but it’s a good one, but to get something you never had, you have to do things you’ve never done,’” finishes Ben McCardle.Just a few years ago they were spending around $2 a gallon for off-road diesel.
“We’re trying to combine trips across the field using different products, different methods in our farming operation,” explains Traugh. “We are trying to be more practical about how many trips we make out to do certain things in certain areas. Overall, it takes a little bit more planning, we’re just trying to save some money.”
