In the latest news for the farming industry,
The Farmer's Almanac has claimed that 2019 has been a record breaking year for farmers across the nation.
There has been a surge of demand for fresh vegetables,
including corn, green beans and squash.
However, not all farmers are reaping the benefits.
For instance, 56-year-old Bill Hammer, from Chillicothe,
says he is still struggling.
He claims he has not been able to update his equipment for a number of years due to low profits.
He is not alone,
our studies show certain geographical elements can greatly influence a farmer's profits.
Mr. Hammer lives in an area where farmers are claiming the least amount of income.
