Kurt...Farming is not a business, it is an occupation. All other business' put a price on their product. I call it ag-gam(agriculture-gambling)Everything is governed, including inputs. If we get a good price and good yields the price of fert and chemicals seems to be higher. If the city people dont understand farming, they should think of their wages being on a flucuating scale. Today they get $12. an hour,maybe maybe tomorrow the wage will be $20. then the next day $7.50, you will know the wage price only when you check out at the end of the day.
Or you can hold on to your hours until the wage either goes up or down and when you think it is at the highest, cash in your hours, but on that day the government opens the gate for more immigrints, down goes the wage and your stuck.
Farmers are called greedy, I talk to alot of people that lost money in the stock market, I ask why they didnt sell when it was high, they say they thought it would go higher or stabilize but stayed in the market and lost, I call this greed also. Farming is interesting,fun, you are your on boss,expensive..both inputs and machinery. Be prepared for highs and lows in attitude,emotions and prices.
