They finally caught news that my 1000 acres of 30 bpa crop can't be planted because it's too dry. There's 25k to 30k bushels they ain't gonna get! Aha!!
Whoa! What are your dollars of expenses for 25-30 APH? Not trying to rude
Well I certainly don't start out only trying to grow 25 to 30 bpa corn..........but that's what we got last year. Even with a fantastic start at this exact time last year. At least this year we're so dry that I'm not even tempted to stick the seed out yet. We can get by with about $125 in inputs. Usually have a really strong basis most years and relatively cheap land costs. So just like Milo Farmer.........we can make money with $4 corn ($3.50 CBOT price) and 40 bpa.
But no.............I can't make any money at 25 to 30 bpa. I was being a little sarcastic above.
