so you are saying with the government out of it, food prices in the US wouldn't change and the affluent countries that eat all of our food are just fine in paying the increased cost it would take to produce it and everything would be better.... I wish ppl like you would run for public office so...

pretty sure the whole theory behind federal involvement in the production of food is so that it remains fairly stable and affordable. in this nation, we pay one of the lowest % of our income for food in the world; gov't trying to keep it affordable and also to keep the family farms in business...

Did you not have crop insurance for your burned up wheat? We are third generation family farmers/ranchers; we do farm and have a good number of cows both and so have experienced loss in both areas. Now we can get into a whole other thread and start talking about how the crop farmer has such a...

we have used tail adhesive; attach it a small amount at a time, practice at home first.

however you all feel about it, here is the latest..... This just in: RAPID CITY, South Dakota, Oct. 22, 2013 -- Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services Michael Scuse announced today that conservation assistance is available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for...

<rock> And so the expert has set us all straight on something that has nothing to do with the original topic..... True to form.  We are all of us isolated and living with east river vibes. 

it's OK XBAR..... as I said, I don't expect you to understand.....

I don't think the $10/acre land was scary to him, but he said he was one of the first in this area to pay $100/acre....and he said ppl were very angry about it; that it was going to drive up land prices around them and make buying land unaffordable to them.  So fun to listen to these successful...

Again XBAR, I'm play'n with ya. Do you think after filing taxes for more years than you are old I don't know this? Legally and in accountant language what you say is right  but just like many things its not real life. The money to pay for the land has to come from somewhere and because the cows...

ok, XBAR, you are the smartest most educated most knowing person about accounting here.... however, I am paying for the land; I am paying the taxes on the land, I am paying for the water taps, the spray, the fertilizer, the reconstruction from the flooding two years ago that has created a...

BTDT The mental health professionals have been there and continue to be; The small towns in the affected areas are hosting rancher meals with mental health professionals present in an attempt to encourage those affected to lean on each other and open up to those trained to assist with PTSD. But...

"commercialfarmer"..... What are you talking about that these ppl have overextended themselves? The ppl that were totally wiped out and lost all their cows were the ones that only had a 100 or so head of cattle; the ppl with 1,000 head mostly had a good number of survivors.  The ppl with 100...

We, too, count the land as an "expense" of growing cattle; if you rent the land, then that rent would be counted as an expense; owned land needs up keep also....I am pretty sure that almost all except one counts the land as an expense against the livestock... it is expensive to own...

(clapping) Nate, you are most probably the smartest one here!!! That way the "expert" on the board can't tell you your business!

so a plain Jane bred cow is worth from $1800-$2400 depending on her age but we shall use a figure of $2000 is what a cow is worth; $2000 x .06%= $120/year/cow to insure. I have 300 bred cows and bred heifers right now, so that would be an annual premium of $36,000 to insure my cows/year. But I...

Got a first hand story from a rancher who lives only 20 miles away from us; but had bought land out west there in hopes that the oil fields will work their way down from North Dakota and they may strike it rich on his property......(another whole thread of discussion)... That family runs about...
