For the first time in our farms 129-year history I made the decision the rent out the open ground. I found an individual who was willing to pay for the rent up front. That's the only way I'd do it.My family farms.
Was talking to my cousin at church Sunday and he said the price of fertilizer has more than doubled from last year and thats if he can even get it. He works for a huge company who plants and test seed in this area and they still have not been able to get their seed or fertilizer in for the season yet. Not that is matters much since they have been waiting for months for combine, tractor and planter parts to come in.
My uncle is not planting corn this year, too expensive and doesnt think he can even get it in.
Good hiking shoes...May be a good time to invest in bicycles and mopeds ........
Saw this on the Twitter last week. Numbers are probably much worse today...For the first time in our farms 129-year history I made the decision the rent out the open ground. I found an individual who was willing to pay for the rent up front. That's the only way I'd do it.
The numbers are too scary and with the uncertainty of the economy I couldn't risk it.
Yup. Oil up over $130 todayNumbers are probably much worse today...
And remember how that 89.9 per gallon was outrageous as 32.9 per gallon was not that far in the past.My son just filled 4 gas cans this morning in Fort Wayne at $3.98 and as soon as he finished the price bumped to $4.38
I predict the problem will go from high prices to trying to find gas available.

That`s what you call a "Mean Tweet "Saw this on the Twitter last week. Numbers are probably much worse today...
We're both right. You are absolutely correct about thermal efficiency and I was talking about economic efficiency, dollars per btu deliveredElectric heat is actually the most efficient means to heat with. 100% of the heat goes into the conditioned space and none up the flue. It's just insanely expensive to do so.
I would say don't hold your breathe.....democrats have become a very strange people. They will most likely all complain that gas is not high enough and vote even more democrats in. We have some right here that will never believe Biden had anything to do with cost of gas. Thats what they are being told and they will believe it. Biden also lied today saying its Russian Ukraine invasion causing gas prices to go up, and America is producing more gas than anytime in history. The entire world can google and see he is a liar. Records were set under Trump and gas production slowed and is still slowing since Biden took office. Not a single democrat will believe that though. We are living in strange times.Well I guess we should be thanking brandon cause republicans are going to dominate in nov after gas hits 7$ nationally.
