In Reply to: $14.50 Corn posted by Traditional Farmer on August 08, 2014 at 04:58:21:
Like MN Scott said, on my place I would have erosion ditches form in the back rolling fields from all the tillage. I have to restrict tillage on my place. I like the concept and if I could do it and keep costs down I would be willing to try it. But how do you get nutrients back into the soil with organic? Manure? I grew field corn this year for the first time in a long time and on a larger scale than I have in the past. It confirmed for me something I already knew...corn is a heavy feeder. I am going to have a hard time getting enough cow manure to keep it going. There is a huge dairy nearby but they are also one of the largest landowners in the county and they use the manure. Just get downwind of one of their fields on the wrong day! So excessive costly tillage is a problem, lower yield is a problem, nutrient management is a problem. Are they sending a truck? Because if I have to ship it, even locally, that is also an issue. Or do I sell it to the elevator at 50% and then he gets the $14.50? Happy to do it, but I have to eat too and I won't be affording any organic chickens with my bottom line. It's bad enough now! :)
