 East Central South Dakota | I think your the one that needs to pay attention---long term generational farm sustainability is NOT affected by Governmental Policy-- period. Every farm in the country is affected by the same Governmental Policy so it neutralizes the affect. Everyone has to play by the same rules so no one has an advantage. It is your attitude and strategic plan you develop that will determine if you can outlast your neighbors. If you can outlast your neighbors in the economic down turn that shows up every 30 years like clock work, you will have opportunities come back to you that you can take advantage of. Your focused just on price and you should be focused on how price affects your cost structure. High priced commodities destroy a lot of peoples cost structure---where it should have helped there cost structure. If corn was 5 dollars and soybeans 14 dollars ----if given enough time at that level some people would still have cost structures that have made them not competitive------and they would be bitching corn is not 7 dollars..... |
