Subject: RE: Fertilizing Soybeans


Carbondale, KS

Trying to help me/us by suggesting less fertilizer & growing less bushels = higher prices sounds good (to you anyway) and it may even work out that way for a year or 2 but you are missing something very important to your argument.  That is that price will ALWAYS gravitate towards the cost of production so cut production all you want but that is what will happen and leads to much bigger long term problems. 

Your first problem is you blame production.  Does everything I do every year make me money?  No, but good management and fertility pays HUGE dividends the years things go right and will more than offset break-even or small loss years.  Fertility is a long term investment/reward. 

Want the logging companies to cut back production?  Oil companies?  How about vegetable growers (farmers too).
