We are about 15 miles to the southeast of the really flat ground. My dad doesn’t have a piece of ground that’s bigger than 20 acres that doesn’t have a terrace on it.

Sounds like you're stuck in farm ground/pasture purgatory like myself.

There's some really great farmland 20 miles north of me and some really awesome pasture that starts 30-40 miles south. I'd prefer one or the other compared to both being average or below.

FSA is awesome as a young guy starting out. The paperwork and hoops to jump through are a pain but definitely worth it

Just finished mounting dads Christmas gift from us boys in the shop with the brothers. Evening beers at the shop might last a couple hours longer now.

Preaching to the choir. We are in a pocket that is dry land. If you go a mile to the south of the home farm you start getting water. Well everything my dad farms goes north and east. The direction of the dry pocket…

God damn I was a prophet a few posts back about cattlemen lowering input costs being the #1 way for them to increase profit instead of trying to get bigger cattle

Your theory is spot on for areas where stocking rates are substantially low. I've never understood the guys that wanna own 4 year old cows that are 1600-1700 lbs

Mustangblood said:

Yeah that doesn’t sound like a good time at all. What kind of end users do you have around you? Mainly just feed yards or is there any ethanol down that way?

my ancestor (grandpa who is 87 and still alive) has given all the farm ground to my uncle and all the cow/calf operation and pasture to my 21 year old nephew. <<<——-was this based on anything other than uncle has the suffix of Jr? no.

so i got competitive and started my own cattle herd. nobody handed me shit, started from complete scratch. (cool story bro)

Nothing given to Me either broseph. However that will change when my old man passes.

Woodrow F Call said:

No real big feed yards around here. Have 3 ethanol plants within a 90 mile radius, but most of the corn that leaves the farm down here goes to one of 2 rail loadouts. (Hanover and Frankfort) both owned by the cheap basis nazis farmersco-operative

We only haul to farmers coop during harvest, anything put in the bin either goes to Poet at fairmont, cargil at Carleton or mid America feed yard. We are lucky enough to have them all within 35 miles. Livingstons also put up a milling plant close by that has a better bid than coop most of the time.
