NCKS | You're not entirely off base... if you're a landlord that wants a raise every single year while times are good you absolutely need to work with the tenant and lower rent when times are tight. And if you're doing that you might as well figure out a share arrangement. But most cash rents you set a number and run with it 3-5 yrs. If your landlord is leaving you alone when times are good, their the very last lever you should pull when times are bad.... like right before you go broke.
If you are running new iron, I dont care how much you farm, your iron costs are too high. If your machinery automatically goes to the dealership shop every winter your iron costs are too high. If you aren't testing hybrids from a good share of companies cheap and expensive for yield vs cost and different populations to see if you actually need to be running that high of population you're not doing all you can to control seed costs. If you hire the retailer to spray your crops your chem costs are too high. If you aren't quoting and buying from several chem wholesalers your chem costs are likely too high.
I could make this list 3x longer but I too get tired of farmers complaining. Making money in a low margin industry takes intense management. If you're bellyaching you probably aren't spending enough time on inward reflection on what you could do better. Put your head down and work through it or get out... | |
