A new study by @NationalCorn found:

-U.S. corn seed prices averaged 68% higher than Brazil’s
-Insecticide prices averaged 87% higher
-Some fungicides cost more than double what Brazilian farmers paid
-Many herbicide comparisons also approached double Brazilian price levels

For NCGA President Jed Bower, an Ohio farmer, the findings confirm concerns many growers have held for years: “It sure doesn’t look like we’re the low-cost producer anymore,” Bower says. “The study shows the American farmer is really paying for all the innovation and research for the rest of the world to take advantage of.”

@corn_porkNbeans Going to be lots of acres lost w this one. Too late to replant them too w size of crop. Sure seems widespread

@BradyD78 This is a great example of the unfairness that zone pricing in the seed business brings. Let the zones use their natural competitive advantage @PioneerSeeds @AgReliant @Asgrow_DEKALB @SyngentaUS

@JohnDeere Deere doesn’t care for the American farmer. Deere is focused on helping our competition sending out worldwide equipment with no DEF. If Deere gave a damn about the environment Deere would send out only equipment w DEF rather than only up the American farmers cost of production

@alex_woodall Fungicide? Short season product?

@ClaudioGianni Is the crop really getting burned up this bad down in Argentina, Claudio? Heard Rosario has been seeing extreme temperatures and more to come

[Adam Hill @AdamHcentalIowa]

@SoybeanTrader88 Imo big help to our beans and full season corn that has hung on till this point. If we didn’t get a good rain this weekend we would see the crops dying this week in our area of central IA. At very least stops the crop from shrinking for 10 days

@bar94boss @chiproytx Learn about the ethanol process. It produces large amounts of animal feed as well as ethanol

@DMRegister @Mittaloak @mittaloak in what way would a CO2 pipeline leak be at all harmful to the soil? Shouldn’t be explosive or be any type of contamination, right? Thought you were concerned about greenhouse gases? Confused by green movement….so many contradictions
