haven't saw under 50 here for a generation

With all the tech out there nowadays the grain cos and machine cos all know what you have to sell before you do and can set prices accordingly.
Are farmers bills too high because too many decisions have too low of an ROI? How is spending your way to profitable crop production working out?
Gotsta get me that X11 and the 80' header - maybe 2 of them, it'll improve my productivity AND make my neighbors jealous.

The total cost of a typical export grain supply chain in Canada is around $107 per tonne, including on-farm storage. By contrast the equivalent supply chain in Australia has a total cost of around $87 per tonne.• In Canada, the transport distance from upcountry storage to port is about six times longer than occurs in Australia, so the transport cost is higher: $49 per tonne for Canada versus $28 per tonne for Australia. However, the per tonne kilometre cost of rail freight is almost five times lower: 0.03$/NTK in Canada versus 0.14$/NTK in Australia.• On-farm storage costs on a per tonne basis are higher in Australia than in Canada, but only a small proportion of the grain bound for export is stored on farm in Australia. Most is stored in much cheaper warehouse storage. In Canada, nearly all grain is stored on farm so the total cost of the storage task is higher: $18 per tonne in Canada versus $9 per tonne in Australia.• Port receival, handling and vessel charges in Canada are two thirds of the equivalent charges in Australia for the same service: $14 per tonne in Canada versus $21 per tonne in Australia. This difference can be partly explained by higher throughput volumes at Canadian ports allowing for economies of scale and reduced regulation that enables more flexibility in loading vessels

.
IMHO the only reason Canadian ag still exists is that farmers were able to hit these higher yeilds consistently. I dont think there is any profit in going back to half those yeilds either.
If you are landowner, the biggest savings right now is a refi on your loan.
I agree on transport costs, we should let the Americans take it all out on their system instead of banging our heads against the rockies.
