The same ones who complain about the Price Avenue equipment, then demand it needs more luxury.

An illustration of the buying power of wheat just came out today. From darrinqualman.com - very interesting blog as usual.

I for one don't understand all the sensors ....I hate the leather seat....really poor ventilation in the John deere 4wd R series tractors...
For the time I spend in my tractor the next one will plain Jane ....I am not loading the tractor up for someone else to drive....they haven't earned that luxury. ..

It is noteworthy that he managed to curve fit the inflation adjusted wheat price with what appears to be exponential decay. Indicating that the decline in the buying power of wheat is getting slower, and appears to be approaching zero, ie. it is keeping pace with inflation better than ever in the 150 year history used in the graph, and may equal inflation soon if the trend continues. As a producer, I'm not sure why that should be constitute a crisis? As a consumer though, I would be wondering where this is headed, and what my food will cost in the future, wouldn't it indicate that farmers abilities to increase production and lower costs are eroding?

As per-bushel and per-acre margins fall, the solution is to cover more acres.* The inescapable result is fewer farms and farmers."
What about that quote, we all know it's true but the advances in machinery and technology has enabled it also. My question is This- If we entered an era of more profit per acre / per head would you reduce the size of your farm, continue status quo and make more money or expand further as less risky?
I often think it would be nice to cut things in half and enjoy non farm life more but I know I would not slow down.

Geez it's hard to figure you guys out - the last 5 threads about wheat no-one seemed happy with the price, now you're celebrating them being so high? Like the long running woe is me story about farm profitability only punctuated by the brief uproar at the suggestion of possibly having to pay increased income tax on net profits of over $200,000.
