30 bu regular corn would be a disaster here, no break even... Taxes here are $48 an acre..... But you were saying the farm broke even, not just the corn, and you might have a better basis depending what your market is.
Dumbfounded anyone had dry weather this year, we were just pounded with rain, all summer long. Hurt the crops, and hay was just a disaster... The few acres I planted early froze off at the 3-4 leaf stage, they grew back but took a 20bu hit. (Plus it was the bad seed, so was 40 below what could have been....)
First time ever, I got bad seed corn. One variety the one I bought most of, did not pollen ate right. At least a 20bu to the acre hit.
Despite the troubles, I think I cash flowed too. Despite some frustration.
Enjoy your stories on here.
When we read, we relate to our own back yard..... 30bu corn would be a really bad deal. That used to an ok bean yield 'here' but the last 3 years I've been 50-60 on beans, really pleased with them.
I think, when I hear someone got 30bu corn but still broke even, well what am I doing wrong, if I struggle with 150bu corn........ You must be full of it..... Perhaps some take it as a put down from their point of view, unintended.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
