We: Look up to Jesus. Farm in NW North Dakota. Grow HRSW, Durum, Pea, Lentil, Flax, Canola, Soybean. Seek healthier ways to live, farm, and feed people.
@Amo54ksu@NickHorob Ahh ok. I’m tracking with you now. Three phase but paying single phase rates. I was thinking of the extra motor in the rotophase but didn’t figure it would use a lot of extra power.
@sizov_andre Yes wheat becomes mostly a rotational crop to keep enough carbon in the rotation, control weeds, and break broadleaf disease cycles. We don’t do much wheat after wheat here, so to switch from wheat to sunflowers on most fields would mean sunflowers after a broadleaf.
@sizov_andre Yes. I can’t speak for other areas. This is just my local bid. Basis is poor and the futures have come down enough that the cash price is matching pre-war values.
@clintwfischer I only have a couple observations to contribute. One is that it seems more common (not saying easier) to get started with a few cows than it is a few crop acres. Another is at NDSU people in Saddle and Sirloin seemed to love what they do more than those in Agronomy Club.
@_TheMizzouTiger@jbweston79@BradyD78 The variables make the wide difference between the farms. We can learn from that and minimize cost of whatever variables we can.
@ElliottHenders7@AdamLasch1@JRcowfarmer@DamianPMason@Farmertom7 Not that familiar with UBI but getting paid for doing nothing isn’t good for our characters as human beings. Also seems like it would have an inflationary effect and then we’d be back to being poor again? Would it attract immigrants who want to live off the system, not work?
@bmreadel Sell a good product at a fair price. I’ll buy it if it fits a need and if you are trustworthy. No matter what you say, what you do is what makes the most difference. Oh, and I don’t need beer or drink tickets!
@gwiesefarms My McDonalds comparison is to buying land. Farmers use the profit from the whole farm to buy parcels that would never pay for themselves at that price. Would you use your profit from 10 McDonalds to buy 1 more at a price that it can’t pay for itself?
@FarmrHuntr@gwiesefarms Corners or edges are easier to take out but if they’re in the middle of the field you have to decide if the size is worth farming around it.
