So you're saying before the run up in prices, your crop land was 100% in production, that during the runup it was still 100% in production and now after prices have crashed it's still 100% in production?

That sounds like us. What were you wanting us to change again?
it was corn, soybeans the past say 40 years. It good times and bad. Same rotation with some hay and some wheat. Wheat until 08 when the market here said they didn't need it. They are acting like the want it again so maybe this fall. What was your rotation the past 40 years? Is it still the same?


No, it's not. And that's what you're having trouble with... Their rotation has changed b/c genetics have changed which make it possible and practical to plant dryland corn in their environment. They have been adapting their rotations in a big way as genetics have improved. I have no factual basis for this, but I'm going to guess that their average yields on wheat might have went up 10-15% since, say, 1980ish. And I'd bet their average dryland corn yields have gone up 100%, and irrigated have probably gone up 50%. All while also increasing their cropping intensity ability.
