[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3139293, member: 5412"] Lets keep the records straight here as well. I retired from the power plant over three years ago and retired from farming other than a parcel last year. That doesn't mean I'm not on top of things as far as markets go because the farmer I lease to now with a degree from OSU in Ag is farming most of our land now. He still has to follow federal guidelines in farming and is up on his game. You don't just go out and buy land now, and raise a family on it. There is crop reporting, projections of acreage planted in whatever, and so on. Certified seed growers have you by the nards, and so on. When you buy their seed, you have to sign your life away that you won't use it to plant next year and it all has to be sold. It ain't go out, buy some land, plant some seed and see what happens any more. Part of the market where farmers make their money is when they project what and how many acres they are going to plant is part of the world market. I believe they call it the futures market for commodities? There is not enough bandwidth on this forum to go into all the government regs involved in farming that I can post here. It's not a simple business. [/QUOTE]
