It's all Allan's fault!

Posted by TheRealRon on August 26, 2004 at 11:10:24 from (69.179.5.42):

Allan has a way of asking thought provoking questions. The one this morning about 2wd/4wd got a lot of responses along the lines of "I have to plant when I have to plant even if my field is under water".

First, let me say I realize everyone has a different operation. Not trying to throw stones here. But I will pose a question...

You have a per acre break even point based on expected crop price and yield. It's a cold, wet spring. You do a cost analysis and determine that your yield will be down say 20%, wiping out any potential profit. Yes, I know, crop prices may be higher (or lower). But let's stick to the 2 choices:

1) You plant and make no profit.

2) You don't plant and make no profit.

What do you do?
