oh good, we are going to make the crop talk page political too.

if you want to talk about tariffs.... seed is higher again, chemicals higher again. have you looked at fertilizer prices, this is the highest i have ever seen them in my farm career.

all we ever hear is that he's going to give us more money. we don't need hand outs, i want markets for the product. so far this term we are seeing less markets from the deal maker.

in the end, talk to your banker to get a feel for your area. mine says lots of people are strapped. a quick look at 60 minutes last week says farmer suicides are up fairly sharply.

i guess i can say that i think my operation is okay for now but i don't have as shiny of equipment as everyone else in my area. if some 8RTs got a little cheaper due to the downturn I wouldn't be too sad but they aren't, nothing is.
