So I was reading an article about how most
big farmers these days are in debt passed
their eyeballs. With $1.80 a bushel corn
and the couple hundred dollars per acre
they spend putting it in how do they do
it? I dont grow corn but I figured out how
much it would cost me to raise a acre of
feild corn and I'd lose $240 dollars an acre with
current prices and that's figuring on a
200 bushel an acre corn. So forgive my
ignorance and inform me please, how do
they afford 4 hundred thousand dollar
tractors?? What am I missing here?
Thanks,
