What are profitable yields

[samhill]

Are 41.5 bu/A wheat or 40 bu/A canola yields profitable? These were average yields in Sk last year.
Of course depends on average price received.

Does anybody use these?

Sure can be. Depends how much iron and multi thousand dollar land you are paying on, or renting for 80 bucks.

41 bushel wheat would be rough.

I think virtually everybody is profitable at 40 bushel canola at even 9.5 canola. I think there will be closer to 33-35 bushel canola though. I don’t see how anyone makes money with 41 bushel wheat at 5.5.

Doubt anyone making rent or land payments will break even on 40 bpa canola.

Agree for sure , but very very few farms have everything paid for or have no machinery payments regardless of farm size . Even used equipment payments are not free .
Unless your in your 70’s with all the land paid for and have zero payments on machinery current grain prices are not very profitable for most

Agree. I’m more speaking of those who went wild on high priced land and multi million dollar iron. The land, cuz they aren’t making it anymore, the iron to farm said land efficiently.

I think the more careful among us will be fine. Not saying no payments, saying reasonability of payments.

Depends on reasonability of said payments imho.

It always bothers me when people think that because someone has everything paid for they can do things for less.
Ever hear of “opportunity cost”??
