Hey #AgTwitter I made this lift for my Dad a couple of years ago so he could continue to run the combine. He is no longer physically able to. If this would help any older farmers I would love to see someone benefit from it. @TheChadColby@MachineryPete@JohnDeere@AaronFintel
@PeterSchiff The farmers are not keeping it. We are just a pass through from government to seed, chemical, fertilizer and machinery company's. Start there.
@SawyerWhisler Very true words. Enjoy working and learning from your dad. My dad passed 6 years ago and farming hasn't been the same, until the last few years when I started working side by side with my son.
@clintwfischer Can land go into a separate entity and cash rented by the farming kids? Then specify who gets the rent income out of the entity owning the land?
A new study by @NationalCorn found:
-U.S. corn seed prices averaged 68% higher than Brazilโs
-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: โIt sure doesnโt look like weโre the low-cost producer anymore,โ Bower says. โThe study shows the American farmer is really paying for all the innovation and research for the rest of the world to take advantage of.โ
