@KateC1096@MarioNawfal She quite literally says “what is that” she has no idea what is going on and that what she’s hearing is gun fire from a semi auto rifle. Ignorance. Bravery is recognizing its gun fire and running towards it.
@Tlock_03@SawyerWhisler We used to farm in NE KS before moving to Indiana, there’s markets there and here. We might get $1-$2 more because we have more sales opportunities close by, but I know 20 or so guys in that area that are doing well with marketing their grain.
@dane_berggren@SawyerWhisler 2 years, third year is certifiable, so 3 years total from last applied prohibited substances which is usually and spring/summer applied herbicide application. So year three I can plant organic corn because I hit 3 years before corn is harvested.
@SWalisser@SawyerWhisler Conventional neighbors are 240-275, maybe a touch higher. 200 for us is on the high end, 150 on the low end. I know of other organic producers in Indiana seeing 250-280 organic corn.
@Larkinfarms6@SawyerWhisler@JeffMurphy10 Fuel is a bit higher, but your equipment is lower, sprayer vs row cultivator. What’s your chemistry bill, fertilizer bill, seed cost? I bet if you took those costs vs my own I’m money ahead all day.
@Larkinfarms6@SawyerWhisler@JeffMurphy10 A single operator can run 600-800 acres with a small grain, soybean, corn, hay rotation. Hire out the hay custom, small grain requires little attention, so at the end of the day you’re running 200 acres of beans, 200 acres of corn.
@SawyerWhisler “If you can get it harvest” 🙄 havnt lost a crop in 10 years. Have seen 200 bu corn and 65 bu beans. Production cost is lower and price point is 2-2.5x higher. If you can run a calculator you’ll realize it’s much more profitable. 200 bu corn at $11 is like cutting 455 bu corn.
