@corn_porkNbeans Hiring something out! Yep I can do it myself, wrench, haul, work harder etc, but that’s not the most efficient use of my time nor the answer to all farming tasks to be the most profitable.

@yake121 @5150Farms You can’t borrow money to put in the stock market

Does buying land make sense ?
1 acre example
$10,000 an acre and pay cash
Takes 30 yrs for the land to generate enough $$$ to pay for itself
Or invest that 10,000 in the stock market for
30 yrs and that 10,000 is now $100,000
And in 30 yrs that one acre is now worth $20,000 an acre ???
Now let’s do it when you put $5343 down payment
borrow $4657 so you have $300 an acre payments to bank for 30 yrs
Pay $4343 in interest
For a total of $14,343 invested into that 1 acre
Value of land in 30 yrs $20,000 per acre ??
Now invest that down payment of $5343 for 30 yrs
You will have $53,764

BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt dropped TRUTH BOMBS on rumors swirling around a Canadian bridge:
"The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howie- Howe Bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president."
"It's also unacceptable that more of this bridge isn't being built with more American-made materials, uh, even more so than what President Barack Obama committed to with the Canadians at the time, at the start of the project."
"He also believes that the US should own at least half of the bridge, uh, have shared authority over what passes across it, and participate in the economic benefits generated by its use."
"This is just another example of President Trump putting America's interests first. "
He told the Canadian PM today - no more one-sided deals.
Trump is putting America First

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Canola market is set up for a 🚀
Commitment of Traders showed that 11,020 short contracts were covered which is large for this market and at the same time 23,967 new contracts have entered the market which is not flowing into shorts anymore. They covered 220k MT of short exposure which added roughly $140 million into the canola market.
The discrepancy between the long and short contracts sets canola up for a market squeeze, pushing all the Money Managers to cover their margin. This means more buying of long contracts.
There is 106,476 short contracts held by money managers, that is 2.13 MMT on paper, to close those contracts they need to buy, the longer farmers hold the more buying pressure on the market to cover.
I ran a X poll showing that 73% of farmers are holding inventory setting up for a squeeze. 36 days until tariffs are dropped and money managers have to be feeling the squeeze begin.

@Concern70732755 Because Canada is going to set up new trade while the US stumbles around for a while and then all of a sudden someone in the US is going to want to trade with Canada again.

I just watched a video on YouTube on the Chinese cars that are going to be available to Canadians. Bro.... im so jelli and mad.
Those things are sick. 700+ horsepower, hypercar acceleration, ultra-luxury interiors, and cutting-edge EV technology that puts Tesla to shame. They charge in like 11 min and go over 600 miles on a single charge. All for less than like 40k USD. bro, if there is snow on the car, the car will literally shake like a dog to get it off. They would literally put every U.S. car company out of business if they were sold here.
Ill put the link in the comments.

@bigmothufacking OH per acre have been cut down here. If guys haven’t had their insurance assessed, definitely a good place to start. Increased my coverage triple, and my premium was cut in half. Little tweaks like so.
Never cut the fert.
