Global ag risk

[$short]

Is anyone in this program?

still undecided whether to go in or not. With
prices where they are and the amount of moisture
in the ground, the odds of growing less than what
my input costs are is slim.

I have crop insurance as well. How much
insurance do you need?

Wish I did not buy the 2388 earlier cause for a little more money I could have had an 8010 or 8120. I intend to be there to buy next year this time.

yes it seems combines are in ample supply
and airdrills to a lessor extent.
other than that , i think things like
trucks , grain trailers and virtually
everything else is bringing good money.

9120's were over $100,000 less than dealer lots.

Is that because they are CIH!

[Hopperbin]

I did not write any prices down but seems to me the JDs were no better. Nothing over 200 grand. Mind you most makes 3 years old had 1000 hours on them average some low hours so not sure where the hours came from. Most all with pick up headers. And no visible damages.

Just kidding all were low but hours were high. Grain trailers are going higher than new or same.

What is the definition of high hours on combines? 1000 hours? I will not look at anything less than 1500 hours. Think about it, 1500 hours/8 hours per day = 187 days. a 3 year old machine with 187 days use is high hours?
Some people have too much money.

I drive by the Saskatoon RB yard when going into the city for parts. Thats just amazing.
Somewhere along the way, I fell through the cracks, the combines lined up there are too new, and too expensive for me to bother with. So, my question is, Where do all these really nice, newer, big capacity machines come from? Pardon the pun, but, thats a lot of pretty awesome combines!

USA and Dealers!!!!!!!!!!!! Repos and
machines that have problems the dealers
mechanics cant figure out.
