It’s a challenge for young guys regardless. The counties I farm in T yield is between 112 and 123. My aph with the trend adjustment is around 175-180 depending on the farm other than the county I only have 4 years of history. How is a new farmer going to compete with that unless they are willing to over extend themselves or get an understanding landowner?
This is a similar situation here.
The one county I am in was not defined as an irrigated county, so T yield was 119 and I had a yield goal at the time of 180-190 and had to pay 180-190 rent. At that time you had to insure dryland and irrigated the same so I was spending $50 acre for irrigated ground I would have to have a total disaster to ever collect on. I'd hate to know how much money I threw away over the years on that deal, they changed it now so I can insure irrigated at a different level than dryland.
Another thing is, who the heck is getting these low yields to offset the good ones, and how in the world are they staying in business?!?! |
