[QUOTE="ClinchValley86, post: 1711820, member: 38595"] I am very glad I've been moving in an input-less direction the last couple years. I expect this coming year will be the last for our hay ground lease. Which is fine. Shuttling hay and equipment back and forth is really wearing me thin. I'm not complaining though, because it has gotten me to here. Feeding hay back on ground from which it was taken will go a long ways in combating fertilizer needs. At least in theory it does. I've been feeding heavily on this farm's hayfields, and grazing them through the growing season. It looks fertilized right now. We have culled cows heavily. Got rid of about 75 percent of them. Kept the calves. I think now is the time for me/us to shift away from cow-calf. Hay yields were short, inputs are through the roof, and the market is beyond repair IMO. A direct marketing cooperative for the area would be awesome. [/QUOTE]
