Boarder this is where farming gets real fun! Any one can farm in good times but like I said last summer when the boom ended now we see what were made of ! Good luck to all !

Facts as i remember them,feel free to change.

Total number of humans per square mile of land in the world=129

Total amount of ag land in the world=33%

200 acres feeding 129 people

All markets are manipulated

Cheap food policy is a real policy

There is life after farming. Mothernature jerked me around enough times too. I made the decision to rent out the dirt last fall and thus far have not regretted it. Biggest thing to get used to is not having 10 payments to keep up with. Would have been nice to see the $1000 for 350 lb calves but for me that would have meant another year of buying feed. My land renter had a very dry year and will be lucky to break even.

42 cents, not much different than spring

but the price is going up

For Amonia ?

[Richard5]

yes, delivery is extra, negotiated that price a bit ago, and only on the amount I get applied which is the same as any other year I put some down. Did about 75% acres last year and that was the first time for about 4 years that I applied fall NH3.

Again, made the decision as it meets what I feel is right for me. Totally understand others may not have the option.

Not buying anything else as I agree with your comments on seed, chem and equipment.

Land is wet, need to work it some and hope this helps

Sask3 at what price did you get your ammonia tanks filled. Mine not filled yet so kinda wondering maybe price still under pressure. Cannot immagine price of n going up. Like you said the price of corn determines the price of n. Somewhat.

Talked to my canola seed supplier the other day small independant good guy. What he told me amazed me it looks to him like the big companies plan to increase their canola seed price a point or two. The price of canola is 60% of a few years ago but they keep pushing up the price beyond my comprehension I hope farmers tell them to go to hell!!

I found fall nh3 not as effective as spring. Lower yield and protein. Bump your fall rate up to compensate.
