Lower Indiana Hill Country | That is really what the problem is, not the gross but the net. My variable costs are more because of my P & K levels plus S & B & Zn, I have to apply more N because of 2.5 OM. I charge a large land charge for my area, but its less than 1/2 of most black soil rates. Yields are 200 and 60 with 4.60 and 10.50 break even figuring machinery and labor to do crops. The Purdue COP guide shows much higher inputs then I have. |
