Is it not the case that wheat requires less chemical inputs than competing crops like corn? I would have expected farmers to see what was happening in Ukraine

Is it not the case that wheat requires less chemical inputs than competing crops like corn? I would have expected farmers to see what was happening in Ukraine early on and nope out of input-heavy crops?
- bluGill 4y agoYou get a lot less yield though. There are very few farmers who would make more switching from corn to wheat if corn is an option. Farmers grow wheat where corn isn't an option for some climate reason. Sure your inputs are less for wheat, but a good corn farmer will still make a lot more money on corn than wheat in most cases.
