Well I'll call Dad and tell him I'm locked in for life to some big acre guy. If he didn't make money when corn was $2 then he shouldn't have rented it. Just kidding but seriously:
If his total inputs were 450/acre on 160 acres, and he has to add the 200 since it would be money in his pocket, then he would need to clear 650/acre to be making extra money. Lets say 4.50 corn to be safe, and My input numbers, especially fuel are figured a little high also. At 144 bushels he gets his 32,000 back.
This includes 100/acre towards equipment, of which 50 goes towards maintenance. Then he is actually making 50 dollars/acre towards equipment he can re-sell if he wants. If he does 160 bushels per acre then he makes 15,000 a year plus gets his 32,000 back plus pays off 8000 worth of equipment. I think all my numbers are conservative, and his half of soybeans should work out about the same.
Plus he is proud to be an American Farmer, and he probably gets some cool new Agrigold or Pioneer seed corn carhartt and hat.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
