    ......what ever the market will bear!

    Put more on to grow more to pay for the increased cost and get paid less per unit for your crop. I know, I know....its hard to make sense of it.

            Like i always say "once you realize no one in the industry gives a F$%K about the Farmer and give you just enough rope so you don't hang your self and can do it again next year to feed them" You sleep real good.

            No one gives a shit no one cares because their is no rhyme of reason why Diesel will go up this summer the Railways don't work the grain companies don't say their sales the market knows jack shit its all a game.

              "same as the pricks do to us every year . except for 2008"


              When the pattern is that obvious, who's to blame when an opportunity is not taken?

                Its real simple Farmers are a Easy group to manipulate. You tell a guy he's doing great big time operator and he actually believes it right up to the day he phones Richie Brothers.

                Companies know that and do what ever they want.

                We have no way to get ahead and they do give us just enough rope that were stupid enough to do it again next year.

                I challenge those who don't think that to explain how companies really care about farmers.

                Their bread and butter because none of the Companies would do the work.

                Maybe drones will take over from us in the future then the companies can screw the world on food.

                  That old saying comes to mind IF THEY ARE STUPID ENOUGH tO GIVE IT I AM SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE IT. So who is wrong here.

                    It's kind of setting up like a margin crushing perfect storm on the Ag front. Have you guys priced out roundup lately? $7.50 a L.

                    At the end of the day we are going to need bushels from the 18 crop because I don't think the price per unit will be there.
