Well my new local BTO (huge farmer) arrived in the neighborhood today. Neighbor family quit farming full-time, technically doing 100 acres next yr. I hear. Rented 900 acres to the biggest operation from the next county over. These guys farm 5000+, got $90,000+ in government subsidies last year. I bet if you asked them they'll give you an ear full about taxes too high. Which of course I agree, but I don't cash a $90,000 USDA check either. Don't want to get off topic, I know the direct payment is going away. Showed up with a grinder on an excavator to clear a tree row, seems like overkill. I'll stick with my 4 row planter and enjoy a good conversation with my other neighbor when he passes me with his 6 row. Lots of guys making a good living off 400(with livestock) to 1000 acres around here. Why go with the 5,000 acre BTO? Maybe $3.75 corn will get us back to reality? I can't for the life of me understand how it ever got to this...

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
