[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 677089, member: 7509"] There is no way of telling what these crops will "bring in". Many different factors. Can bring in substantial dollars but cost a lot to get to that point. Yes there is income but lots of expenses also. It is the net that counts. There is a lot of equipment, fertilizer, weed control & seed cost into that field you see for there is any return. An 80,000 kernal (a bit over 2 acres worth) bag of triple stack seed corn cost around $300. this past spring. So your seed alone can cost almost 150. acre. To be profitable in commodity crops these days you need to spread fixed costs over a lot of acres. You need equipment and you need to know what you are doing. Jim [/QUOTE]
