Well..... since you ask.
I am thinking holy crap! I could have had about this price at harvest locally, and prolonged harvest 2 more weeks. Well I guess price from earlier in the week.
Truthfully my mistake was not selling before Christmas. AFTER harvest.
My other thought is some of that money would be gone by now. Wife says I should get new machinery. I would like a nice UTV for Dad to drive. My old pickup is getting cancer real bad. I had to spend a couple bucks on it and may have just popped $80,000 for one I like. She wants to travel some.
Money in the bank may disappear. Wife can move it, bank can go under. If the local investment firm figures you have a few bucks they work pretty hard at getting a cut.
And last but not least. That real high tax bracket would have eaten a big chunk!
Good for you but I don’t rationalize so well.
This is a big time yikes!! Ain’t no tax bracket tall enough to make me feel ok with $3 a bushel hit on beans in the bin and $1.50 hit on corn. Sure hope that corn doesn’t go to smellin! Better go check…. |
