Crazy as it sounds it will work this year.To pay $400 an acre it has to be 200-220 bushel an acre corn ground in a normal year.
The rent and inputs will run around $800 per acre.If he has 160 bushels per acre forward contracted at $5.00 that will cover his expenses.If it makes 200 bushels per acre and corn stays at $5.00 he will have $200 per acre profit.At 225 bushels he will have $325 per acre profit.Crop insurance will cover his risk.He probably has his inputs all locked in on price.
If its a normal year 2008 will the greatest year grain farmers have ever seen.You are going to have to do a good job of marketing your grain.Far too many farmers in my area have nothing contracted for 08.A farmer that owns 200 bushel corn ground free and clear has the potential to clear $600 per acre profit.60 bushel bean ground has the potential to clear $500 per acre profit if you have them contracted at $13.00.
In my area 125 bushel corn ground and 30 bushel bean ground rents for $70 per acre which is a bargain compared to elsewhere.
Grain prices have risen faster than inputs but by 2009 this could all change.Things are so volatile.
