Hooker Twp,Ne | So what’s really bidding our prices down? I remember the day when 80 bu/ acre corn was a bumper corn crop. Now if we have 150 bu/ acre it’s almost like a disaster. Or is the fencerow to fencerow we were told to do back in the 70s. Or get big,or get out. When I went to auto shutoff on my planter, the first year I had 20 bu extra seed corn to give back to the seed company. We farm terraces, So technology made us better farmers. In my neck of the woods-no till has also made increase of yields. The conservation of moisture in the soil has saved us some crops.—— This will work as long as we can keep weeds under control with chemicals. I still remember the go-dig and row cultivator and the hours sitting on H tractor making sure not to get cultivator blight. Think about it- what would happen if we had to go back to those days? Would the generation under me even be interested in farming? Time will tell. | |
