    Reality if you mix the two some does rub off and then spray with insecticide on in crop. If I am full of Crap why is my farm expanding every year and yours?
    Yes also Round up for next year at $6.80 is cheaper than at 9.00 or better next spring.

      Ill have Peas on 4000 acres that is like poor smf. Follow this in 2010 with Blend and Seed Canola. Even if the blend is 36-25-0-10 that's all.
      Then take the oats area and put peas. No cereals. Do same as year before.
      Year 2011 Use profits from these two to buy Fert that's needed but you have two years markets for fert and Chem can change, at least you can price some of your crop at a decent price.
      I don't have all answers just trying to gain on these Guys.

        Also close to 20 years at Direct seeding has soil in great shape plus fall roundup on all has fields clean.
        Maybe sitting back and waiting will win this game. History will tell.

          I did actually think I would be able to clear up all the 02 03 04 losses this year and start making serious cash in 07 but we will have to look at how to get their a little slower now. But the increase in the anhydrous $30,000.00 should be off set to some extent by lower diesel costs and lower seed and if FNA is able to access WO wheat generic then we will get their. Have land rents locked in for three more years so that is a constant also.



          You expand when your losing money??? Who has brains???

            I guess what I am trying to get across is why not Screw them like their doing to us.
            What if every farmer out their did this instead of the <AH WHAT DO I NEED FOR IMPUTS THIS YEAR TO GROW A BUMPER CROP> Pick a crops that you know you can make money on.
            Lentils is good one Mustard Flax Peas Oats and Barley.
            Inputs are less for these crops.
            Drop the Killers for costs like
            Canola, HRS DURUM ETC.
            Can any one with a strait face say their wont be ramifications in the Ag industry in Canada maybe it will catch on in rest of the world.
            Hey No Operating throw in their and Boom we have some control.

                Arithmetic

                #ONE

                Seeding 4000 acres for 40 years.
                Input costs
                Ferilizer costs
                Gasoline costs
                Banker costs (notice I didn't just say bank)

                Results: Profits usually come from increased production. Soil is being used and some depletion. Some twitchiness in right eye caused by scarey weather days. Input costs unpredictable. If you buy enough, a job with the chem/fert companies is possible and enhances bottom line.


                # TWO
                Seeding 2000 acres for 40 years, and keep 2000 acres in forage reserve.
                Gasoline costs
                Banker wonders if you are stealing fertilizer somewhere/asks you to borrow money for redoing your house, a new car, a trip,

                Results: Profits usually from increased prices you set. Only half the soil is being used and some depletion. Some twitchtiness in right eye caused by scarey weather days.

                Input cost amounts to the seed for nitrogen-fixating rotational forage crops (which are often sold as seed) and the cost of cleaning the chicken coop. In the last few years, there are some soil enrichers that are quite good, and they keep appearing on the market, that will address soil depletion.

                Two different systems. Neither are virtual. Neither is the arithmetic.

                  Just setting it all up for a Hutterite sale one day and I am done with this game. Make more money developing property at lakes etc than one will ever make farming and feeding people but I love the thrill of trying to win and farming is a tough one to conquer. Back to the lake its been a nice chat.
                  But why not think of a different way. Yours vs mine. still gets to profit.
                  But Big Canola crop and Huge feed wheat crop equals making Input suppliers really happy and farmers shaking in his boots.

                      Yea the advance is available but when you loose 1,000,000.00 (02,03,04) and get nothing from casip your using the advance for other things. So yes its a good program.
                      Also 100000 wont buy me much in line of Fert



                      No I don't know how I could think your full of sh$t.
