Maybe congress will put forth some legislation (and pass a law) prohibiting us from having a King to rule us and to immediately remove all Kings that are holding office now. I believe all of them got some much-needed exercise for a change.
I will if you look up (what the purpose, goal or objective) of this particular protest is about. Do they want a constitutional Republic instead a of a monarchy or maybe instead of a dictatorship. Now that is worth protesting about.
That 50k seems like a pretty steep increase over last year. Back in the day for 50K I could have bought 2 nice used 6600 combines with 6 row corn heads and bean heads. 75K to repair the draper head. Wow. Do you sell to nearest elevator or do you have a lot of storage on the farm? It's too bad the markets really suck. Farmers have enough variables to deal without prices being so low.
My last harvest in 1980 was in Ohio. I had 130 bpa on non-irrigated land. Harvested it with a John Deere 55 corn special with a 2-row head. The land (150 acres) had been very poorly taken care of for years when I rented it. At one time it easily produced 160 plus bushels. Times have really changed with all the advancements. I hope the harvest goes well for you and your brother. If you care to share any updates that would be great.
Is the yield on irrigated corn around 230 and the irrigated beans 65? My daughter and her family live in Manhattan KS. Her husband is in the Army at Ft. Riley.
