@jtacfarms: @Paige Dulaney: Here’s my answer for the big challenge facing ag right now and what I’m hoping to do here on the farm to combat it! Economic unsustainability is one of the biggest problems facing ag today. Locking ourselves in the box of beans and corns/corns and beans may have worked for a while…but its quickly coming to a point where it’s going to cause the entire system to implode. Diversity of crops is a way out of this issue. It won’t be easy but we’re going to finish off all of our rural communities if we don’t change course soon. #farmtok #kansas #corn #question #regenerativeagriculture
South America isn’t better, there’s just less regulation and a heck of a lot more land with the added benefit of year round growing conditions.

Paige Dulaney :
Oh my gosh yesss. Great take. I’ve been talking to my husband about other crops we could raise. One hurdle to doing so is the cost of equipment with raising varying crops.

I would agree. but there has to be an incentive to want to change. already have lots of money borrowed and cant change an operation on a whim. it's a good discussion to have

South America is doing better, with less equipment and without nice equipment, big concrete shops, or having to out do the next farm with bigger equipment

definitely seems like a race to the bottom. cheap grain rasie more supply demand falls shout price goes down more. why dose innovation seem to drive consolidation?

canola, oats, barley, field peas, camalina. start out with stuff a combine can still do. find a market and haul it there somehow as a start. better than nothing.

Yup :
Wasn’t a market for other crops as to why they aren’t grown anymore. The ppl lost their asses and switched to corn, soybeans, wheat, and sorghum. You can’t cash flow oats. Doesn’t even pay the cash rent let alone the land taxes

Think of every operation did a 40 of flax. the Coop could take all those 40s and market it. If we all do a little it adds up to big change. That starts the snowball to more things.

Yes, I remember fields of rye and oats and flax and everywhere you looked it was just a different patchwork of various crops being grown. everybody had hogs and they put the hog manure on their fields for fertilizer it was just a great wonderful circle

Why do you plant corn and beans then? Should’ve quit cold turkey and planted something else
