Well, I've read all of these comments as of 4:30pm CST, and I can't believe no one has hit on a few key things. Heck, I've even tried to throw ya a bone, but I guess I'll have to explain it. First of all this is a demand driven market. All other markets in past years were supply driven. When prices were high in past years it was because of short supply ie: drought ect. When things returned to normal prices declined. It was more of a temporary thing and we always knew it wouldn't last for long. What we have now is keen demand the likes of which we have never seen before, and for as far out on the horizon as we can see it doesn't show any signs of abating. This is just the opposite of the way things have been in the past. To all of you doom and gloom predictors who say we will see a repeat of the 1980's farm crisis, you need to understand the dynamics that were in place then. Many were in debt up to their eyeballs and paying 21%+ interest. When land values crashed thanks in part to a peanut farmer from Georgia, their net worth went right out the window and the house of cards they built collapsed because it was on a shakey foundation to begin with. Today we don't have this problem as most operators are on solid footing. It's an entirely different scenario then it was 25 years ago. I farmed through all that and am glad it's in the past! Ethanol isn't the only answer but it's an important piece of the puzzle as are all of the other things that are in the works right now. It's a proven fuel and I've used it myself in my cars and trucks, all kinds of tractors and even my former combine since 1978. It works. Don't let anyone sell you that static on that outdated report either. Critics love to bring that up thinking you'll be dumb enough to reel in. I don't care what we make it out of or if we even bring some in from South America. It will get people accustomed to using something that's a win-win for everyone. In the mean time I'll finally make a decent return. In all these years of farming it's nice there's light at the end of the tunnel that's NOT an oncoming train!
