Subject: Haven’t talked to u lately JP......



Casey Iowa
Hope central IA yields were decent enough for u this year......It was a bit of a crap shoot on ground and weather conditions all over IA this year. We drove to Ft. Dodge quite a bit from down here west of DM and there was a lot of differences in crops the whole way up and down throughout the summer.

Anyway I’m with U I believe on the part u mention about maybe not being to gung-ho about selling beans early this year.......I remember when I started farming full-time around 2001 and I ran per acre cost on soybeans and asked my dad why are we planting soybeans???.....we r gonna lose at least $50 an acre or more!! Now this wasn’t that long ago, but it was when $50 an acre loss would have big repurcussions.....well low & behold somehow we raked thru those 3 years making $30-$50 an acre because combinations of lower yields elsewhere & higher prices and different combinations.....so I guess the moral of my rambling is sometimes when times look really bad.....just take a deep breath and see things thru and it might just turn out ok.....

Also, I have been doing lots of “simple” charting this year and have been pleased.....maybe someday I will improve my longer term charting....keep up the good work and thoughts JP & have a Happy Thanksgiving!
