The price of fertilizer is gonna be a killer this year,up about 250 a ton over last year.I hope that folks here don’t blame the farmers when food prices go up,I’m sure not getting rich doing this.Actually I could sell the farm and make more in government bonds even.But I enjoy this so here we go again with a new crop year!

I can’t begin to imagine the headache it’s going to be raising grain fed cattle. $10 for a lb. of hamburger might be cheap, if you can even get it.

You missed the thread, they already are and a lot of them want to make it so that we can’t export food.

We know that food prices have increased because of fuel costs and that farmers are still taking it in the shorts but they don’t.
