David Nichols says it hasn't been easy.  "But so far we've been able to keep crop protection products, the chemistry side of things, in-house," he says.  Nichols, who farms in south Tennessee, tells Brownfield parts are a different story. "I have a neighbor who has a turbocharger issue and they can't source one," he says.  "It's been a national type search for it and it's just not there.  We're still seeing those supply issues impact us."

Nichols says he's about a month behind his typical planting pace, and is hopeful he can play catchup this week.
