    What else do you need translated and yes...

    Also kg/ha and lbs/ac are a direct comparison (close enough)

    Gaucho is cruisermaxx in other countries.

          interesting also , simazine is closely related to the very first herbicide tolerant canola we grew many moons ago . think it was trizine variety tolerant to atrazine and gaucho was what we were treating brown bag seed with ,until they took it away from us , is it not ?
          his cost per ac is prob 25% of what it costs us ,or less
          we have way more risk , self inflicted , i guess, trying to get every bushel. shooting ourselves in the foot

            Your cash cost list pretty good CaseIh. What would you say for equipment costs? I’ve been using $100/ac for dep, repair and oil etc, and incl an allowance for shop, power. Curious what you and others use for that number. And then land-in this area has gone over $100 for rent, so we are up to $450/ac for cash costs, equipment and land, still no risk allowance or wages.
            And canola is the ‘profitable’ crop...

              So you need 90 wheat and 40 plus canola to break even. Again farming is so great

                I think we're about $70 for that and about $60 rent is average here

                  So scaling back to 7 or 8000 acres of crops pulse canola and cereals and running 1500 merino ewes for wool production so back to a quite life.

                  Will fill you in with what second hand machinery i purchase etc. Yep kinda starting again.

                  PS once my son has done one full year i want to send him to canada or states for a year to work away from dad and local community get him out of his comfort zone will work for beer food and bed. Sure i will find a taker some were over there in canuck land or usa. PS hes been full time farming since he was 10 lol and a very careful machinery operator
