Yesterday, our farm completed analysis on the projected profitability of crops for the 2007 crop year. Not surprisingly, canola provided the highest return at almost $200/acre. Also, not surprisingly, barley and HRSW provided the lowest gross margain, almost $100/acre lower than canola. ($114 and $109 for HRSW and malt barley, respectively)
When I see the $20-40 extra an acre in returns that are stolen from our bottom line, the true benefit to "orderly marketing" is quickly revealed.
Me thinks there is something rotten within "The Designated Area".
