| 30-40 years ago when crp started, the criticism was that young farmers won`t have land to rent and coops will lose input sales. let me play devil`s advocate a minute. times are different, we started this year below *cost of production and there never was an honest to goodness selling opportunity and it looks that 2026 will be similar. corn will have a 2 billion bushel carryover, soybeans probably working towards a 1 billion carryover and the dakotas can`t get a bid, the pnw is dead. to me, why make the piles higher?
if times get better a short term crp would have a quick return to over production as farmers would buy out of crp early. but a lower crp bid would at least take the bottom production out. | |
