Sad to hear ...

Just remember. There should be no shame in knowing when to quit. And be at peace with it. Everyone here is only human.
Why give your retirement $ to the suppliers???????

Hmmm, but was told QUIT ON A GOOD YEAR....this is far from good. 53 years actively operating every machine, 47 years of income farming, is that enough? Not alone I am sure, I never left the home farm, brothers and parents left me here. Almost everything is DEJAVU, many times.

Well this is depressing. I can't imagine how the guys operating on the edge are going to manage this. Does everyone have shit grain? How much?

RENT: ya some rates are out of hand but why does the adjustment for costs have to come from the life-time farmer who rented his land out for retirement income? I don't give a fúck about the investors....let it go to weeds! I'm not even too sympathetic towards kids who inherited land but chose not to farm! Wasn't good enough for you before....I guess I don't care if you think you're not getting enough rent.....ROI on something free can be zero as far as I'm concerned.

Have a nice day!

we have very good fair landlords ,that understand the challenges, I'm talking about the ones that think $120-140/ac is do able
they are about to receive an ass reaming

Rents won't go down here I don't think.
Also, land paid for 30-60 years ago.

I half quit this year, losing my other cheek as we speak.
