Re: 9 - 13 Frost Update
What is goofy is farmers who think a crop is graranteed when they plant it. No let's say guaranteed when they order the seed.
How on earth can a farmer get up every morning and think that he is raising one of his best crops ever ---- optimism----- and ignore the fact that we have the best demand ever for our product.--- we need record crops.----- pessimism
Half of this crop will be raised by folks who have greater risk levels, and cannot afford to get out of bed depending on a great crop.
If farming is so good why are there less than half the number of farms there were when I began 50 years ago?? And the next few years may trim it again.
Negativity is being sure your crop is so big it won't be profitable in the future. Selling it before raising it because you believe in its size. Therefore driving the price down before it exists.
Optimism is knowing you can be profitable without a crop if you need to and don't have to market it at harvest or before.
Inflation of cost of production has not stopped ------ be optimistic about that.
Will you reduce acres accordingly? Or depend on the higher risk fringe half to do it for you.

For me - can't get out of bed with bad knee - no kidding - lol

The kids - have did a good job of learning from us -- why would they what to put them selfs threw what we do or there grand dads ?? Go to work - get a check , go home , play with wife , kids and dog = not as many worries .

This is just marketing - right or wrong
Optimism is knowing you can be profitable without a crop if you need to and don't have to market it at harvest or before.
Optimism ??? I would say closer to - just having the coin to make it threw the bad times and not worry about one bad crop or prices .
Inflation of cost of production has not stopped ------ be optimistic about that.

Nope - will plant everything I have - But why cut back ? That is our jobs - to out produce what we sell - it's been that way forever - if we cut back and the prices went up then wth would there be to talk about on here ? lol
fringe area cut back ? crop insurance will make that call - nobody else .
Thanks for posting up good stuff sw - enjoy it here .
