As I feed most of my corn, I base my corn value on feed replacement cost. Last year my corn had a feed replacement value of $1500/ac, with a out of pocket cost of $300/ac. Take out $200/ac cost for land,etc and I had a $1000/ac return for my labor, on paper. If you just product 1-2 crops/items and just sell it on the open market, 1-2 years out of 5, you are going to get hit hard. Even with my sheep, I have 3 income streams from them and I am working on a 4th one. |

| the corn around here looks good, 2nd and 3rd ears won't produce much tho, and there are ALOT of real short soybeans, maybe a foot tall, not sure if they are gonna grow much taller now. |

| The corn crop should be good for other parts of the country. Had huge storm go thru several weeks ago. Current reports are 60% of the corn was broken off over thousands of acres. |

Prices will be in the toilet for two reasons. Size of the crop and your president Trump (I'm glad he is yours). He loves picking fights and your biggest trading partners are now security threats in his mind and he is getting very friendly with counties who are NOT your friends. Maybe they will start buying corn and beans. There is going to be a lot of problems in farm country in the next year. Farm equipment manufactures have already announced price increases. Just for the record; Canada has a trade deficit with the US. And while I'm at it, Trump just announced that he has filed a complaint with the WTO against the countries that have placed retaliatory tariffs on the US. Did he really think we were going to cower in a corner and not react? (Likely should have been in the political section) ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

I always wondered if 3 local farmers grew 'out of sync', if they'd get a better price for their crops.A grows wheat-beans-corn, B grows beans-corn-wheat, C rows corn-wheat-beans. That way they don't flood the market with beans,lowering the prices. Probably doesn't matter,just something I thought about..it's a 'corn year' around me by the looks of it.... BTW, I'd like to know what a loaf of bread's costing south of the 49th.

When you look at the market, the area, the sheer magnitude of things, it's mind boggling. Southern and southwestern MI, a lot of OH, PA, who knows where else was extremely late getting corn in due to cold then extreme wet. Other area, all you heard was crying about flooding it out, hailed out, blown over.... ...and yet, bumper crop driving price down. ...and record stocks on hand from last years crop driving price down. ...and the tariff spat driving price down. I'll be starting to take the flail chopper through my corn field today, to feed my cows because my pasture died in severe drought, and most of the corn I had planned to grow for grain is about waist high, spindly, and tasseling out, likely to produce little to no ear at all. But I figure not selling that corn will be cheaper than buying hay that was about 60% of a crop. We got rain late last week. Too late for my corn, praying it saved the beans. Truly could have been a farm-saving rain, as the hay fields are greening up and just might give me something to cut and get by. So prices might be down, but at least I won't have much to sell!

^v^v^v I have no idea. US Farm Report was telling that it will go back up. Our inventory in tightening and many places are not as good as believed. Outside buyers will return as there stocks go down. I wish I could sell ahead, but have never done it and kind of scared to sell what I don't have. I wish our President's (all of them)would stop using us as the point of their economic swords. Who are they to hack with free trade? I don't care how great of a business man you think you are; you are never going to change the minds of a kubillion Chinese. They have been on this earth for 5000 years and the USA has been around 250 years. We aren't hardly old enough to sit at the big kids table. Sometimes you need to build a fence, and other times you need to build a bridge. Which time do you think this is?

Seems Mexico says they are going to buy Brazilian corn to punish the US for not allowing Illegals to cross the border into the US. So now watch the push for 15% to 20% ethanol in US gasoline as part of Dems farm saving bill . No problem that the auto industry is also pushing this as most older vehicles will have nothing but problems with higher alcohol content of fuel along with the MPG will drop also . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

I say go ahead Mexico, what are they going to pay for the corn with? The Peso?? HAHAHA!! the Peso aint worth crap outside of Mexico. Mexico will need to sell something to the U.S., take those American dollars to Brazil to purchase corn. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |
