[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1739711, member: 25884"] Between us and a neighbor that has a truck and custom spreads lime and fertilizer.... we figured up the cost to produce hay this year. Just figuring the same production per acre with the rise in fertilizer prices, fuel and all... it will cost us about $65-75 a 5x5 roll.... That is NO PAY for the farmer... not figuring in land value..... just costs. Less fertilizer, less hay... and not figuring in what if there is less rain or drought conditions... Poultry litter here went from 28/ton delivered last year to 42/ton this year. Nitrogen has tripled. My dairy farmers are saying it will COST $800-1,000 an ACRE to put corn in the ground this year... last year it was in the 500 range. That is not counting harvest costs....and what if we have a drought or get drowned and the corn crop is dismal ????? [/QUOTE]
