York, My variable costs for growing a crop of wheat are very modest. Especially compared to what yours must be.

One of my guidelines is to be able to show a profit growing 25 BPA wheat and selling it for $2.50 / bu. This year's yield may be a bit better than 25 and I was able to lock in a much better price than $2.50 for this year's crop. That will be enough return to encourage me to try for much better "Next Year"
