BF I've got to pull rank on you for a minute........being a "veteran advisor".......
here is the problem of "going idle"........that is still a loss........the county still want's their money for the schools, motor graders,
keystone cops, and the public library sytem.......then to mow.....you break things down, use the tractor, uses fuel, oil, run over
a deer horn while mowing and have to put a boot in the rear tire, or something.......also might also have to spray.....looocoo
coop just over $7 acre to spray. And if you are into the new buzz stuff, the big deal is cover crop........hate to tell you, but
they charge for the seed, then you'll have to control them.....and if you plant in spring, you'll have a forest.
hate to say it, but renting it out to the BTO or MTO or WBBMTOMTO (Wanna Be Big Time Operator Or Medium Time Operator),
at least you'll have income (ways to protect yourself) controlling weeds, not wearing out the tractor and mower.
and not having to buy fuel, chemical, or hire spray.
I know that's like the sound of fingernails on a chalk board.......but the numbers show it.....remember, the Blood, Sweat & Tears,
song, spinning wheels.........."what goes up, must come down"....remember your physics courses.. the first law of thermodynamics, that
energy in a closed system (well considered the CME as a closed system....they will not let us in), cannot be created nor destroyed,
but can change from one form to another..........so and remember that other silly market thing we were told for years..........
"low prices cure low prices"......so maybe someday, things will turn around, you let the others make you a little money,
while you dine on bologna sandwichs, and Milwaukee best beer.......heat with wood, and ride around on your bicycle (not
atv, have to buy gas)........
