BA ,  What does inflation have to do with corn you produce the price or value is determined by demand and supply  much the same as lumber , coal , oil    why is corn a 5.XX  today !!!!    Many are make good money now but what are they doing the 179 trick to I an't pay no taxes.  If they have to carry a loan payments those 179 purchases and price drop below production cost  those payts don't go away.   Read ,don't know if right but some forcast we could have below cost in 18 months. or sooner  if we have any type world event.    Teacher's  pay up for lack of supply in many  districts so you up pay to get  them.

You know, Craig. I feel sorry for someone as ignorant as you! Especially someone how likes project himself as being a cut above the rest. But you really are stupid. Not quite Oily class, but close. I'd love to see you in a class room spewing your ignorant bulshilt to a bunch of High School kids, they'd run your dumba** out on a rail.

Really sticks in your craw don't it, those **bleep** teachers make so much more money than you do? Your nothing more than a foolish jerk! Go soak your head in the toilet, you Nazi lovin' jerk!

You forgot to mention how much you actually made on how many bushels.  The teacher makes his salary based on the year's work--and I do mean the entire year.  You base your wages on how many bushels you grow and raise and that will fluctuate whereas the teacher has no way of getting a windfall like you can if you sell at the right time.

Good idea, Craig! Millie the mouth! Got a nice ring to it! You'll go far! Be sure and use your Nazi propoganda in your campaign signs! That will sure win a bunch of votes!

With your attitude, you couldn't win dog catcher, fool.

I don't know why you brought that up, Brian. It's way over his head. It ruins his whole rant.

  Those salarys look very similar to the price tag on those pickup trucks used for driving to the coffee shop or for junior to drive to school, not to mention the yearly fuel expense.

Schnurrbart, the highest, highest price corn ever got was $8/bu that was a day or two a couple years ago, even at that it ONLY kept up with inflation albeit a couple days.  Teacher salaries placed in the same boat would have been $27,000 for a day or two and then settled back to $20,000....if you really want apples to apples.   BTW Teacher salaries published can include those hired on a part-time basis.

I know you`re acquainted with inflation from dollars perspective, here`s from the "bushels" persective. In 1980 theoretically you could take a bushel of corn to town, sell it for $3.00, go to a $2.50 movie with a .50 cup of soda. Today if you take in a $5.80 bushel of corn to town you can`t buy a $9.00 movie ticket and God forbid you want pop and popcorn, you`d better sell 2 bushels of corn. All of this and Donald Dean Albert Kraft thinks there should be inheritance taxes on the inflated value of farms and businesses.  You`re right about farmers maybe getting into trouble by first year expensing too much, to add insult to injury, tax rates may be higher in the future and they`ll be making payments with no deductions. You might put it off but there`s no escaping the Grim Reaper and the taxman.

Isn't remarkable the same underinflated bushel of corn of today is able to buy $5/6/7/8/000.00 acre farm land and $200,000.00  equipment to farm it.  Hmmmmmmmm

You're the one trying to compare apples to oranges.  Those figures I doubt very much included part-timers.  I have a little experience on both sides of the teacher field and the corn field.  You're saying inflation only affects dollar per bushel  It doesn't and your cost of putting in the crop stays firm AFTER it is in the ground but the price varies throughout the entire season so depending on when you decide to sell, you can make more or less money.  You can increase your dollars very easily while the teacher can't.  Period!
