You will get people out their saying quit your beeotching prices are at historical highs, when is it ever going to be high enough??

People that say that don't know how to google the indexing of the value of a dollar.

If wheat was 6 bucks in 1975 as an example today's price would be 30.85 today in dollar value terms.

So actually , wheat was worth more in 1975 because it bought more than it does today.

The hottest commodity right now is guys going in and asking for extra credit to cover the new prices of Fert seed and chemical and it’s not just a little extra it’s hundreds of thousands more.

SKF why wouldnt you bail on the anhydrous for a year? By off the top of my head calcs, you can still make up the same fertility with just granular at less cost.

Maybe I am wrong, never used anhydrous before.

Sat down with the retailer a few weeks ago and we have it figured if my rotation stayed the same along with the same inputs....costs have nearly doubled and at this point there isn't enough moisture to grow enough to cover it. A foot of snow is only 3/4" of equivalent moisture if it soaks in.

I watched guys throw the groceries at their land in 2021 and with no rain their crops burnt out.

Save your money go to the lake have some beers, do some golfing enjoy yourself.
All the chem companies and retailers will be doing that and having a good time if you keep dishing out the cheques to them.

More peas maybe, chicks?

We have our 22 covered but 23 will be the real test. If these inputs are up this high still we will be going to 2/3rds lentils for a year and then see what happens.

I have a strange feeling that the entire world is just moving up on the cost scale and it will be permanent. Margins will just fall back to where they have been historically.
