"Farm Machinery Prices are OUT OF CONTROL Look how fast machinery prices are increasing vs other major farm expenses and crop income. Fert & chem are most sensitive to crop income cash rent & seed are less so but machinery is in a world of its own. @JohnDeere @AGCOcorp @Case_IH please explain your machinery prices and how they are sustainable given crop prices % Increase since 2011: Machinery = XX% Cash Rent = XX% Seed = XX% Crop Income = XX% Chemicals = XX% Fertilizer = X% Data Source:"

"Hey @SecRollins Corteva spent almost $20000000 lobbying in 2024. What are they lobbying for or against that allows them to raise the price of their products every year to squeeze the farmer out of business"

"Since Soybeans are all over the news here is what the actual data shows from 2010-26F. The sharp rise in costs in 22' in response to farmers making money in 21' and the subsequent price fall has caused a mess. You can see COP doesn't ever fall with prices. You all are fighting about the price of beans when it's the price gouging by input suppliers that have caused this mess. Big Ag monopolies must be broken up for this to change.

"Bad news.Corn & Soybean cost/acre is predicted to rise in 2026. Costs again will be above avg yields given the current 26' crop prices. So what are some realistic ideas for cutting costs in 26' Leave ideas in the comments. Let's help each other out Using national averages the chart shows the 2026F $ per ac. for each expense category. Each $XX cut equals X bpa drop in breakeven yield for beans and XXX bpa drop for corn. Breakevens: Corn: $XXXX = XXX bpa; Beans: $XXXXX = XX bpa Where can cuts be made that won't sacrifice yield to try to get back to profitability X. Machinery is one of the"

"I think diversifying may be a better option but that takes time. Maybe taking a few acres and doing what you said to reduce the acres planted is probably a viable option and not a bad idea however Guys still have to cover their fixed costs so not planting a cash is not an option"

"I dont take that as snarky. I think what you suggested is probably the most likely path forward for the risk tolerance that I have right now. I just dont have the cushion to ride out a huge market decline. I have LRP for this year. Probably will wait and see what happens and make a decision this winter. And I dont want to supplement the cattle side with the grain side. Both need to stand on their own"

"Recent cattle news has solidified the cheap food policy of the government. But how can the government keep prices low for consumers but also keep farmers in business producing products that are needed by society The only viable option they have is to subsidize. Farmers from this day forward do not feel guilty about receiving subsidies because the government will not allow markets to function properly. The system is rigged against you but this is the system that has been designed and the government needs it to function this way. Think of the subsidies as taxpayers paying for a cheap abundant"
