Well, it`s a dog-eat-dog world and i`m wearing MilkBone underwear. One day the enduser and producer will live in harmony, but that`s a long ways off when the lamb lies down with the lion. For 5 years us corn growers told the endusers "sucks to be you", I doubt they`ll have any sympathy for us...but by cracky 25 years from now during the next bull run in corn ...oh I`ll get `em then 🙂
What I`m still amazed at is how bad this crop looked, got off to a poor start and now looks good. Even those that call for a record national yield wouldn`t be hauled off to "Cherokee". It must be all the tiling done and everybody is overpowered..the tile gave `em that extra day and being overpowered got`r done in that extra day.
We have been what i`d call blessed and bailed out by bad weather the last few years and that really saved our bacon, hauling in less bushels for more dollars. This has been a crappy year, yet genetics and iron have a big crop coming, I`m concerned as what will happen if we actually would have a string of really good years in a row, we`d be buried in corn.
I haven`t forward sold anything and I`ll probably be taking 50¢ less for this new crop corn, some would say "you coulda locked in $4.95 a month ago but you had to wait for $5 didn`t ya?" yup that`s true, I coulda bought a winning PowerBall ticket last Friday too. 🙂
