Grain farming: rotations, soil and machinery decisions

27 anos de experiência
E-mail verificado

I farm thirty-two hundred acres of wheat, canola and soybeans in southern Manitoba, third generation. Twenty-seven years of my own decisions, including several expensive ones I would rather you did not repeat. Where a conversation helps most: deciding a rotation when prices have moved, working out whether a machinery purchase pays for itself at your acreage, and reading soil tests that nobody has explained to you. That last one matters more than people think, because a lot of fertiliser gets bought on habit rather than on the test. I am not an agronomist and I do not sell inputs. I am a farmer who has run the numbers on his own operation for a long time and who will run them on yours honestly, including telling you when the answer is that your acreage does not justify the equipment you are looking at.

O que o distingue

I will run the cost per acre on a machinery purchase with you, honestly. Most of the equipment people ask me about does not pay for itself at their acreage, and a dealer will never be the one to say so.
