Well our prices for product is adjustable in a fe ways not used by most smaller farmers or they don't make use of it if it is. By watching prices you can sell as far out as 2 years ahead of the crop so you could sell grain for 2025 at this time if you wanted to. Not saying that the market is beneficial for this all the time though it would have been for the last couple years. Then if you had been looking when the Russian Ukarainin deal started you could have sold wheat for in the 10-12 dollar range for about a week or so then again later for about 8-10 for about 60 months to a year after that started. Corn and beans have been in a up priced range for about the same time. IT has now all evaporated out of the market now. IS it risky yes it is can it make some good profits yes it can. Can it break you yes it can. IF your crop and market is wheat what would it hhurt to locked in a portion of those prices none yet I will bet a lot of folks didn't want to chance the risk. NOw where I might not be able to get wheat in to fill a contract I shied away for that reason. I have used and locked in some of those corn and bean prices in the past and do contract some grain sometimes as far out as 2 years. As for inputs some years it pays to look at the prices. Last year the price was about 3-500 per tone more for Potash in the fall than it was this spring so no advantage there this time. I am going to look at some potash this fall for part of my needs. Lime also is cheap fertilizer when it is all tied up in the soil with poor PH levels. Lime will release it as it sweetens the ground for the areas that need that program. Then a Believe a lot of this new big equipment is just leased so if you were to go after the lease is up and no new lease you would find big empty sheds.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
