Rider2010 (AKA Skhadenuf), for your information, I have been busy moving our 2009 crop around and "properly managing" our farm. I refuse to click email notification so that my blackberry gets filled with useless reply's from you! I don't phone my accountant for any of my posts, I understand the program. You seem to have all the time in the world for coffee, posting on this site and a quote from someone else on this topic, dog___.
If you bothered to read any of my posts, I have expressed all along that your payment claim amount is never going to be more than approx 65% of your reference margin in real cash. The higher the margin the better but you need at least $140 in gross margin to keep your farm from losing money overall. $140 gives you about $90 to cover the non eligble costs.
As far as the fuel comment, that's a small item in the differences between all farms. Our farm ran 12.48/acre last year, not bad with not all acres being one pass. Where's yours, and I'll bet some of the operations run over $20 because of size and "other reasons". Your farm probably has never demonstrated profitability, like it or not. You rant and rave pointing fingers at everyone else about your problems. I am sure that really helps your situation!
No matter what political party, no matter what program, no matter what you try, you won't be happy. Your attitude sucks which negatively influences your management skills, you obviously farm in an area in which the land must be the shits as well. You have no intentions in trying and blame it on 4 years of flooding, the current goverment in power and whatever sad excuse you can find. At least others with similar circumstances can debate contructively.
If it was a year from now, your Agristability application was filed and you have your estimated payment calculations in hand, and it was zero like you claim, I can understand your devoted rant. Not everyone knows how this year is going to turn out in the end until it has actually happened.
Your fetish about Big Sky and allegations of share ownership, wow, good one! We have hauled tons of grain to Big Sky over the years, why wouldn't we sign the deal to deliver more grain instead of taking the hit. I will support them as long as they are in operation. Is it a good thing they went down? Of course not, but there is nothing that can be done. They way you complain, you will be next, how many people will you be "screwing"
As far as Agristability, imagine one farm, one reference margin with a huge flat unprofitable 10 year history, capped per entity - yeah, they are going to get a real large pmt - Not!. The best the company could hope for is that they participated in the moth ball program and cleaned out a number of facilities.
