all the seed is still in the bag. We have one customer who has about 200 A planted, but that's it. It has just been too soggy to do anything.
Our guys got one day of spraying between downpours. Seed availablity is going to be a huge issue if we need to switch out for shorter season varieties.
yep
Nobody but farmers know the risks that come from every direction whether it be weather, bugs, disease etc.
While I don’t support the moochers of government farm payments, there are most often very legitimate reasons we should support farmers in their highly risky businesses. These difficulties like weather often effect entire regions where hundreds of thousands are legitimately struggling to make ends meet. And sometimes not succeeding.
Meanwhile fuel prices, repairs, implements, fertilizer, chemicals, seed prices, crop insurance...all go up.
I have little patience for some on this forum who think that every government farm bill is automatically bad and corrupt.
