        By my math, that is about 20 Bu per acre. What is normal for your area?

            Are you seeding the same rates and at the same prices as we are? At 20 Bu, you need the first almost 7 bushels to buy the seed, leaving 13 for everything else. custom harvesters etc. Not sure I could do that math and come out ahead.

              20 bu with owned old combine would lose $40-60/ acre here.

                mallee could you tell us roughly what your inputs are ? this is what i am thinking for next year;
                -pre burn $3,
                -fert and floater charge $97 (80#nh3,200#'s sulphur floated ,$8 custom floating included, about 30-35-8-0 put with seed)we applied the nh3 ourselves , total blend 140-35-8-48,
                -seed cost 4.25 #'s @$13/lb with lumiderm $55/ac
                -weed chemical depending on system probably averages $15/ac
                -fungicide $21
                -havent needed bug spray much lately?
                -crop ins -$12/ac
                -hail ins $8/ac
                -fuel $16
                i have probably forgotten some inputs and of course no machinery cost or wages on this for a total of $227/ac or $567/hectare. fertilizer is a fair bit cheaper than it was in 2017. unless we have a wreck, like in 2016 , 45-55 bu/ac are fairly common for us

                  Gotta love that $55 seed cost.....no matter where you farm in Western Canada....whether you get Case's 45-55 bu/ac average or the Slum of the Ghetto 35-45 bu/ac average. ....your low is my high but in the end its the same number. ...its the spread between my low and your high that makes a huge difference in profitability! Not this cut and dried but it goes to show....

                        Does anyone include an opportunity cost for the investment in land? Shouldn't it be equal to the area rents(here about 3.25% of purchase price). Or interest and principle payments of indebted land.

                          Usually 1 knock down some times two. 1.5 lt glypho per ha

                          Seed farmer kept seed 2 to 2.5 kg per ha. Treated with gaucho and cosmos. 2lt simazine.
                          Add seeding operation.

                          Fert at seeding DAP 30 kg

                          Fert in crop 50kg urea 50kg sulphate of ammonia

                          1 grass spray select/verdict 400ml/70ml

                          Maybe a insect spray late.

                          Dessicate 2 l glypho

                          Harvest.

                          price per tonne was $515 on farm when oil bonus added.

                          Of course fuel for each operation spread twice and two in crop sprays 3 if insecticide is needed.

                          No fungicide.

                          Re seed aussie farmers buy seed then multiply it but never go past second generation if that makes sense.

                          If hybrid seed is used have to buy each year of course.

                          Will see if i can find a offcial gross margin sheet for canola yeah we do it on the cheap

                            Converted that's about 115 lbs./ac, we are about double that and I'm sure others are more than us.

                              If anyone here speaks Aussie, I would appreciate a translation. Knock down must be preseed?
