KS and NE in eastern 3rd | I can spend anywhere from $100 a bag to $250 a bag on seed depending what company I go with. These 2nd tier seed companies have just as good if not better hybrids and I can buy from them for under $200 per bag.
People are obviously willing to spend that on finished meat products but buyers are not willing to spend more on our grains. If more buyers found value in our product price would go up.
I own an interest in a manufacturing business and am somewhat involved in with the business dealings. We recently did an expansion which resulted in a 2 million dollar investment. That intial cost was returned in 8 months. If I was smart I would of gave up farming 20 years ago and invested what I had in companies like that. Couldn't give up the farming lifestyle. | |
