Martinsville, Ohio
After thirty years since Jimmy Carter tried to get the biofuels going, it is high time farmers got paid what their crop is worth.

I don't think we are there yet.

When gas is $3 per gallon and corn is less than $5 you still have a deal.

When diesel is $3 per gallon and beans are less than at least 9 or 10 dollars you have another deal.

The professors talked about this 30 years ago too but it is finally here.

Grain is the precious, sought after commodity it ought to be, should have been a long time ago.

Until Hydrogen or something else better comes into play, plant every acre.

With notill you still have erosion but not near as bas what we experienced with the moldboard or chisel plow.
