You can get by saying that word here, & I get censored for joking using a phrase like, "He really urinated me off! :)" ??????? Odd. Doesn't bother me, just odd. Anyhow, you have to figure in LDP on corn. That helps some, you will get 20-30 cents more per bushel. Then we are supposed to be marketing experts, and always sell high. but, aren't the buyers marketing experts, we're just simple dirt farmers who will never amass more info than the buyers????? My friend & I just had this discussion, I grow a chunk of oats here in corn/soybean country, he thinks I'm nuts - while he plants corn on corn. I've never gotten corn on corn to work, costs $40 more in fertilizer, $10 in insecticide, and yields lower for me. Don't understand that. But, oats I can break up some weed & insect & disease damage, plant plowdown clover, sell the straw, have a place to spread manure, graze the clover/oat regrowth, spread out planting/harvest time. I think I net a _lot_ more on oats every 5 years with corn/beans over a 10 year period than he can on corn/corn/bean rotation. Not that there is much to net on any rotation the past 4-5 years. :( But, nice to see there are different systems that work for different people. --->Paul
