132: Kit Pharo - Kits Big Concern

Even with record prices, many are not finding the best of times as good as they would expect. Operations dependent on high levels of feed inputs, a full fleet of equipment and an abundance of labor are feeling the effects of inflation on all of those expenses. This means that even during record high prices many are still losing money or having slim margins and Kit is concerned for those who aren't willing to change before prices come back down. What are you doing to prepare for this?
