    Farmings always been up and down, started in ‘68, wiped out in ‘81, back in about 2014 for a bit.

    Was like that before me, and can happen again.
    Interesting graph. I recall somewhere around 1993(?)the neighborhood always criticized one of my immediate neighbors for his farming practices. Kind of a seed late, leave half over winter, combine in spring, seed late pattern.
    Everyone else did differently, harvest in fall, waited for the wheat board to call contracts and rail cars etc.
    It was May, most guys were out in the field, my neighbor was combining his wheat, delivering straight to the elevator and selling it for $6.00/bushel open market. Same as #1 with protein. The others were pretty choked about this activity!
    This fellow did not farm too much longer, rented out his land and went on to be a heavy equipment mechanic. Works for Suncor in Ft. McMoney. He bought duplex in Ft.Mac. He still lives next door when home. We have an annual drink. A few years back he told me that he never made so much easy money in his life!
    Everybody has their own way.
