@summitfarm_llc@DanAllred1 Always thought they were supposed to help keep chains in time. We always fought the 3 slats jumping until I started cranking the chain down tight tight.
@summitfarm_llc Never going to say never, but this is set up different. 2008 was driven higher by huge and sudden demand. When buying stopped, supplies were still available so prices plummeted.
Supply is the driving force on this one. Those last longer.
Bids for prompt ship NOLA DAP physical barges have hit $820...and has not traded.
Call NOLA DAP @ $820 for now.
Dec '26 corn closed at $4.52
Ratio sits at 181.42. All-time high is 183.43.
Ever wanted to see something happen so badly...and yet not want to see it at all?
Anyone else in a funk?? Soils fit to plant, but to cold and grey and wind blowing like it’s Kansas. Crop plan is done, like I’m beyond itching to get going. I want to start walking fields.
Vegas was built because few quit while they're ahead...usually only when blood shed hits a point.
Our corn production systems are like a fake casino that gives just enough chips to keep selling $14 well drinks.
We're less than a decade away for it to look identical to pork. You provide the building (land, equipment) Your integrator (x, y, or z) provides the seed, fertilizer, etc... You work for an acre space rent.
Problem is many people will be perfectly ok with this. That scares me 10x more than a little pain now.
@gavin_spoor 12 row, 2 trucks, 2 drivers, 1100 bu cart, good runnin not far from bin, in 250 bu corn, 135 ac is my best day. Quit at 9pm. I’ve had the same crew do 50 before too! lol. 100 ac or 25k bu is our goal every day. Some days we do, most days we don’t. 80 is our avg.
How many acres of corn do you try to harvest in one days time?
Today was my personal best. Kept two trucks on their toes hauling right to the river.
9am-7pm, Could have done more if we had an auger set up to a bin. 18 year old me would be astounded!
@summitfarm_llc@Boilerfarmer13@JasonGa30967051@DillinNewton The two photos is the one when application was made 3 weeks later on ear leaf. The other is the last two leaves that weren’t exposed yet durning application. Ear leaf was clean and the top two leaves were affected.
