      Do you do these peoples income tax or something? You seem to know their financial situation. I was only making a point that not always hard working family operations will survive to the big operations with a bunch of so so employees.

          Broad Acres had same gong show going on in Lafleche. Except they are a very generous operation. They broadcast fertilizer on the neighbours land!

              I'm not looking to piss anyone off here but i think
              something needs to be said,and its not that easy to
              understand.

              Farms,like anything that involves growth,are apart of
              something called exponential function(i've brought
              this up a few time in the past decade).

              -before i start-it is ridiculous to compare any two
              farms on the planet,the number of variables should
              be self evident enough

              This is fun with numbers.

              A 100,000 dollar farm in 1972 with an average
              annual growth rate 0f 5% doubles every 14 years.

              1972-100g
              1986-200g
              2000-400g
              2014-800g

              Now 100g at 10%

              1972-100g
              1979-200g
              1986-400g
              1993-800g
              2000-1.6mil
              2007-3.2mil
              20014-6.8mil

              500g farm in 1972?at 5%

              1972-500g
              1986-1.0mil
              2000-2.0mil
              2014-4.mil

              500g farm in 1972 at 10%

              1972-500g
              1979-1 mil
              1986-2 mil
              1993-4 mil
              2000-8mil
              2007-16mil
              2014-32mil

              Bottom line its better to come from money and
              remain productive.

                Yes, broadcasting fertilizer like we did in the80's
                when we were half and half farming, preworking
                and summer fallowing. I thought Broad Acres
                might know better then to do that. And yes it is
                grain farmland.

                    Boys here are mixing urea with water then
                    adding Alpine. Have a old trailer that they use to
                    pick up milk at dairy's with as a mix/haul trailer.
                    Have a 3" water pump circulating/mixing. Built a
                    trailer using an old water truck tank and the dual
                    wheels off the grain cart. Haul 10 ton on the cart
                    wheels 5 ton on the quadtrac. I have a video on
                    my Facebook page need to link it to YouTube
