Thanks for the excel program. I agree with you that some on here think we are just bitching for bitchings sake but when your commodity is worth the same price as it was 40 years ago, while the inputs have increased dramatically, something has to shift. Be it a shift away from wheat, or just utilizing the crop differently. I imagine land back in the 70s was $200-300 an acre and diesel was $.60 a gal. and fertilizer was $60 a ton. I don't know I'm only 27 but I know my grandfather acquired basically what we have now during that time period. Just seems like it ought to be time for food to be valuable with the world population growing every day and such.
