Ethanol dead?

[MarshallDillon]

Good point bucket. But importers will import to order, just as last year when US farmers played chicken with the fertililzer boys, not ordering until the last minute. Farmers lost.

MD,

Do you expect the global warming folks
to stop the greenhouse gas re Co2 that
they are convinced is bad and causing
climate change?

I really doubt it.

Look at NASCAR and how proud US folks
are of this most popular sport in the
US. Ethanol based now.

Most of the corn crop has accumulated the
applied fertilizer in the stalk already
so there will not be much left over even
if they did not harvest a single bushel.
So the N will have to do a full cycle
through organic matter before it is
available again. So I see demand
remaining fairly steady. We may see some
producers cut back due to cash flow
problems.

Marshall, Why is Cash Rent Going Up????? What is The Current Cash Rent in The Area???? What is The Most yous are Willing to Pay per Acre to Keep The Land?????

[MarshallDillon]

Well BTO, it's like this: land is 3000.00 per acre supposedly, and at 3% that's 90 bucks plus 7 for taxes and wha-la, you have $100/acre rent where it was 50 bucks last year. My buddy has been renting land for 36 years off the same family and it sold for $3200/acre and the chick in charge of renting it out for the mutual fund hit him up for a hun initially. Generally rents went up to 60 this year, and it will take 80 next year. Mine is for rent at $125 and I told a Hutterite boss that he would have to start growing corn to afford this new rent. Corn in Nov-Dec usually, mind you. "Irrational exuberance". I rest my case.
ps. not a F@@@ing hope in hell to pay for it and make money but for the love of farming itself, lol!
