    Freewheat.i Don't farm far from you i don't think from what i gather here. I believe you. 08 hailed out 100% combined only to fill contracts that payouts would have killed me. 2bu/ac in good spots. 2010 only half seeded. Crop insurance said i didn't have to combine. No argument. I never revived an agristability check. To much hail insurance they actually laughed at me for taking hail insurance.then twts payout negated 2010 payout. Seems we get just enough to carry on for another year. Refinancing and extending out short term loans kept us in game. Seems like from comments on here many farmers have never had to deal with issues like this. BTW those crops i lost were some of the highest priced crops in history. Doesn't help when you have zero production. Thankfully it didn't make to much difference if equipment is 15 years old rather than 14.i just shake my head at sales like the rbauction sale yesterday with all that 1 year old stuff.

      It would sure be nice if riders2010 didn't have to make everything personal and bother other posters on Agriville.

      As far as rain goes, it can stop anytime now. Need heat.

        OK, Rider a little harsh, but I think things are too wet his area, so cut a little slack.

          I agree ag stability is not good if one diversified thier own farm .I am still in it but do not know why.Have cattle and grain.But my margins are decent so hate to quit now.If I had collected and ran margins down and with new trigger points it would be a no brainer to bail out of program.

            Bang on tmyrfield. Bang on.

            I gotta say. I appreciate the support from you guys. It is hard to see in text, but boy I get down some days, and I get a fair bit of understanding on here. Thanks. It means something when I am not even asking for it.

                Freewheat - keep on posting I enjoy your insight. We have all seen extremes - each deals with it differently. You guys that attack Freewheat and SF3 really make me wonder what kind of operations you run. These two tell us what they are seeing, how they are operating, what they are thinking and personally it makes me think about how to best manage my operation. Guess what if they are posting BS which it doubt, who cares - how much have you made off the neighbours crop lately? Me not a penny but do I take notice when a neighbour has a better crop than - you bet and I try to learn.

                  Good point. I have a neighbor who has this one field of canola that is just plain really great. I want to know why, so I ask. He has no idea, did the same on that field as every other field, you know how that is? We all seem to get those fields which are amazing, for no apparent reason, huh?

                  Probably he is hiding something! lol
