Top Biden Economist Says Farmers To Increase Crop Production On “Price Signals” To Avert Food Shortage
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/top-biden-economist-says-farmers-increase-crop-production-price-signals-avert-foodI dont know about that!
I have seen more than a few reports, interviews with farmers, and most of the said they were going to plant less. -
I know.
No one can afford it. Now I’ll admit I’m not dealing with corporate farms I’m dealing with individuals which it seems they are trying to destroy.
The farmers/ranchers that are staying the same size are taking loans to do so because fertilizer has tripled from last year. Most have stated that they just can’t and will reduce the size.
Feed is creeping up hard too. We bought more this week just to lock in that price and we don’t even have the animals yet. -
Increased mine, as in got some, but ain’t no one gonna see it outside of my family

Oklahoma farmers impacted by crisis in Ukraine with cost of fertilizer
https://koco.com/article/oklahoma-farmers-impacted-crisis-ukraine-cost-fertilizer/39656271
We are looking at a increase from $50 a round bale to $75 so $25 a month for the 11 remaining months till butcher. So $275 increase just in hay for 2 cattle.
So you as a consumer can do the math from there because that doesn’t count transport, feed, sale costs or anything for y’all. I skip all of that.
Feed is increasing slowly -
Pig feed 2 years ago was 15 cent lb last year in oct it was 30 now it 44 cents and climbing. Many farmers here are not growing more than they need for friends and close people as cost are too much plus you cant get fertilizer (potash or anything else) nor herbicide and in some cases seed … production will be down considerably.
Abbotoire is booked to where we are thinking of putting second shift in as many are culling herds.
Meat may get cheap for a bit but once the disposable animals are gone what’s left with costs will be stupid expensive. At local big town cost of a T bone steak is $22 a lb and that is feed lot cows. Grass raised grass finished is 1/3 more.
We just ordered another 200 chickens and turkeys to fill our breeding stock with fresh blood before the end
We are debating by fall to cull our breeding herd down to 15 sows and 3 boars. From 200 sows and 10 boars.
We are also cutting our beef herd down to 20 animals 18 cows and 2 bulls.
Our prices for pork last year in oct was 3.25 lb hang weight now its $4 and climbing.
Our feed input we pre bought last summer all the seed, fertilizer and herbicide needed and available so will do a full crop.
The paying farmers not to plant is a bit misleading, some actual farmers take this but mostly it goes to the largest farmland owners who don’t farm like Bill Gates It’s so they free up thier capital to do other things that screw you using your own tax dollars.
We had a feed manufacturer callous to see if we had “extra” grain to sell to them at full retail cost with e trans fer immediately then offered to pay in gold and silver…this has never happend before.

So they want farmers to increase their production after having a low yield harvest and not making any money

You don’t have to farm to see the issue with that.
