$30 million lost

They reported on our local news tonight that Missouri farmers lost $30 million because of the draught. No one has given any figures as of yet as to what the Missouri farmers lost in floods that were caused by fools.... I assure you that between the two it hurt alot of people in this state.
 
Yep way to wet in the spring then to dry plus all sorts of other things happening cause lots of problems all over. Been one bad year all the way around and from the looks of things next year may not be much if any better
 
So whats your point? My schedule ""F"" requires me to declare how much of my investment is at ""risk"", thats what farmers do, take a chance on weather, markets, input prices etc. The government is not going to eliminate the risk for you, you have to mitigate risk with management.
 
Your still above the ground, planning and looking forward to doing it all again so it could not of been that bad a year.
 
The standing farm joke around here is

"the only way a farmer can lose money is if his mailbox gets stolen".
 
150,000 acres were lost in SEMO and another 300,000 acres were lost in NWMO due to flooding..All was prime farm ground so heres another 35-40 million..Some was ruined forever..Add in the Joplin tornado and Missouri took it on the chin..

yep I lost every thing at the farm from flooding, record high water, lost two bins, and water got into century old(nice) farm house for the first time in history. Not to count all I lost from moving stuff out and back from the repair buisness and no work etc
 
How is it going for you Mike, I have been thinking about you. Did you get back in the house or was it screwed up to bad? We need to hook up after the holidays. If you need some sorry a$$ crippled help let me know, other than walking I am good to go.......Animal
