Just read in Grain news how a Alberta farmer believes that 100 Canola is possible. No name as my fellow farmers might think I'm Insane ( sorry bragging).
That's so nice to dream and I'm not cutting this guy down. But really their is the 100 bus challenge that one company has out and its all about the title of King of Canola.
Realistically 35 is the Average Alberta yield and Sask is lower and Manitoba doesn't care as soy and corn are their new babies.
But readying the article it looks like a guy would need some where around $400.00 just for inputs alone.
So then if we all get to this level we would get paid what $7 or $8 a bushel instead of 10.
So basic cost is 400 and 200 for land and equip because its Alberta and then hope for 90. It gets dry and you get 35 your into insurance.
If stars align you get 700 an acre or 800 and profit 100 or 200.
Right now in Sask you shoot for 60 and get 55 at 11 is 605 with costs of 300 so you make 300 an acre now and not much risk.
Oh I forgot this is all about seed, chem, and fert and grain movement or basically feeding the monster.
