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.

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 - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. 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
