The posts on the great big operators got me thinking. If these BTOs can fall and fall hard what does that say for the guys on the bottom and in the middle. As much as I despise organic its the only thing holding its own right now. Though time will tell for how long. The small guys are screwed-maybe... The only thing is the small guys are small enough to fall through the cracks. While selling 20 head of cattle or 5,000Bu. of corn is hardly making a living, money is money and anything that size is likely to go unreported. More so as the farm gets smaller. Not saying this is right and some have been caught. But I'm just acknowledging a fact of life. The in between operations are just big enough where they can get by with older, more importantly paid off equipment but because they lack volume. They loose bargaining power when selling or when buying consumables. The BTO has the above mentioned bargaining power. However they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of debt to keep running one bad year and the're gone. Not saying I have the answer, I don't but it makes a person wonder.
