Since corn is down to a little over $3.12-3.85 in South Dakota, all commodity prices down every where, at or after the fall harvest, that is a bigger variation than previous years. It has been a steady downward cycle since summer time. I am awaiting the advice that "land will go up" because "there's not any more", "corn prices will go up" after all it is now pretty close to it's 5 year average, but above it's ten year average price. Meantime we will produce more, to cover the cost. Plow more prairie to raise even more. Corn is closer to it's defficiency payment than it is to $5.00. Of course we have no farm bill, you can determine blame yourself. Who's going buy that $5000.00+ ground now? Or are we in the "bigger fool philosophy"? Now a history lesson, the bigger fool theory means you have to find a "bigger fool", to buy ground at a profit, you would like to sell. Maybe the guy with a average of $1500.00 per acre, with it in a long term CRP contract, looks better and better! And has worthwhile scenery out the front window, and clean water in the well.
