couldn't agree more, the counties I farm in have aph's of 96 and 98 bu corn. The only reason I have insurance is the just incase this year really is a zero. I have grown alot the last few years and am spread pretty thin. IF the zero year ever came I would be sitting on the bench in my yard watchin the auction. FWIW I am in the lower yeilding parts of the state and this year was my worst corn average. Still 21 above county. Where I am I dont beleive i'll ever have 170+ corn but I don't think I'll ever have 70- corn either. So why would we buy 85% revenue @$60 bucks an acre ( I think thats what it cost this year) to ensure 81 bushels. Oh well just am happy to be able to give another run at it next year
We didn't think we'd ever raise less then 120 bushel corn here.......... until this year! |
