I know the cattle situation has and is tough my folks did that and I have to say I don't miss those days at all other than I do have found memories of working with my folks and handling the stock.
But those numbers really need some clarification
A quarter of grain land is costing what anywhere 250 to 400,000? Payments on that are what 30,000 to 40,000 a year?
Taxes?
Let's say you rent. 100 bucks is 16,000
Canola seed 65 x 160 is roughly 10,000
Fertilizer and chem go cheap 90 bucks 160 is what 14 to 15,000
Spread out the equipment over all the land and what would that be? Quite variable.
Doing it yourself or if farming more labor costs?
Accounting?
Gots some bugs?
Trucking?
And maybe insurance 20 bucks 3200
Fuel?
Repairs?
See what I mean? Now take those costs and have 2 years of wipeouts? That 48,000 doesn't give you much of anything on that 30 bushel year.
