    What are profitable yields

    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.

        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”??

                      Sorry but there is nothing reasonable here anymore. Hasn’t been for 10-15 years. Guess ur commenting on your area, I’m commenting on my area and the two are nowhere close to the same I can see that now.

                          Cam malt get 100 bu/ac? Can even $5 be feasible if a large crops comes off?
                          I know feed variety’s can yield like crazy, maybe some new malts can also.
                          I quit growing malt, acceptance was low for me, so stuck with bin busting high busheling high test weigh feed type. Lol

                              Well it really is a good feeling to have it paid for and it gives u opportunity to buy when u see a good deal . I went through the eighties and now I only buy when I got the money. I don’t drive new equipment but I do drive good equipment I say learn how to fix and u can make money and another thing is knowing exeacly what u got in each crop everyone has a deffernt bu per Ac profit
