I"m in eastern Virginia and i hear a few are getting $100 but the last guys I knew were paying that went broke in about 3 years. With the really good prices for the last 4 years or so it"s been easy to maintain status quo and pay that but inputs have been going up and I agree with JD SELLER it"s going to be really tough for a while. Aorund here if you break 200 bu/ac it"s with irrigation, the average is more like 130-140 bu. with beans being under 40 bu. This (2013) was a really good year in that we had plenty of rain all summer and I averaged 157 bu. haven"t cut beans yet but they look good. Everyone wants to forget last year and the year before but nature is what it is. Normally we have good rains right up to June then it tails off and we get one or two rains in July and that"s it till late September or early October. Two years ago we had a pretty dry spell just after corn got up that lasted into July then good rains the rest of the year; this year little dry at the start but the corn got enough to keep growing and it turned dry in mid September and looks like will stay pretty dry till close to the end of October. You just have to pay attention to how God waters the crops.
I think some boys are going broke next year because they pay high rents, bought new equipment and crop prices have softened AND I think the rains will be more normal.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
