President Trump visited Chippewa County near Eau Claire Friday, touting his administration's support for farmers at a roundtable discussion with local agricultural producers in Chippewa Falls.

Trump told farmers he understands fuel and fertilizer costs have gone up because of the war in Iran and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. He predicted prices will come down when the war is over and hinted that federal help was on the way to help farmers get through the current stretch.

"Fertilizer prices are going to go way down, just like they were four months ago. Your fertilizer is down, your energy is down, your oil, your gas is all coming way down, and frankly, I thought it would go much higher than it did. I thought, frankly, that gasoline would be much higher. We're looking at something to take the place of what's happened, because it's artificial.

...........Farmers TMJ4 spoke with said input costs — things like fuel and fertilizer — are among their top concerns. One farmer noted it costs $1,300 to fill up a tractor, and roughly $100 an hour to operate one of those vehicles. Some farmers purchased fertilizer early, before the war started, but others are now worried about what those costs will look like if the conflict continues and they have to start buying for the rest of the year.
