Farmers are facing high diesel costs, with some of the highest costs in the US. A report from Congress' Joint Economic Committee finds that crop farmers could pay over $100 million extra for diesel this year. This added expense may lead to higher food prices, according to farmers and state officials.

High fuel costs are just one of the challenges farmers are currently dealing with. The cost to farmers in Minnesota is among the highest in the nation, but further details on the impact and potential solutions are available from the source.

The increased diesel costs are a significant burden for farmers, and the potential effects on the food market are a concern.
