That is the sense I get from you all. This is cheap? Please let me know, I don't want to be cheap.
JD 8210 on 16-30 1770 NT with e-sets, smartbox, and 20/20 .....$13 an acre 40' Field Cultivator w 9300 JD ... $12 an acre 31' Soil Finisher ...$15 an acre New last year 2588 with mapping / grain cart... $35 an acre (8 row corn) ( $31 for 30 ft beans) Trucking is paid by standard trucking rates. (40 ft. hoppers mind you...not gravity boxes)
Disc Ripper Disc ...$18 an acre Moldboard Plow... $23 an acre. Not very much road time, no more than 20 minutes. I can't ever remember a breakdown in planting, and only a few minor delays at harvest... I hope this sounds like good modern equipment to most of you.
That usually covers it.
I have friends that say this sounds like a gravy train. What do you think? I told one I would trade an 80 acre 50/50 lease of his for 400 acres of this. I am still waiting.
