This would greatly aid the farmer if this could happen, as it would increase the price of our products and enable us to continue our heritage. It would also decrease our dependency on other countries for fossil fuels. T oday's prices are driving farmers out of business. These prices are well below the cost of production. In 1972, when we first started farming, prices were only a little below these.
New tractors can cost as much and sometimes even more than a combine.
Someone else sets a price, and there's nothing a farmer can do about it. Someone else controls their destiny. No matter how hard they work, someone else controls the life of a farmer. F arming is not an easy job. Fighting the weather is a constant situation.
