Just got some pleasant surprizes, I figured the yield on my "poor" field of barley, no traditional fertilizer for 3 years no chemical at all this year.
Cost per acre of inputs this year $1.50 for organic seed treat, $8 for fuel for all operations (figured a little high to cover oil etc..)
Yield 32 bushels per acre ( my best ever on this field was 35 with $40 worth of traditional fert).
Next surprize, I can forward contract for Mar 07 delivery at $3.25 a bushel deliverd to Lethbridge. I almost forward contracted a couple loads at $2.55 for November delivery before harvest started. Glad I didn't.
Profit per acre $94.50, very nice surprize.
