Great video. Since the combine shows your bushels per acre, it would be interesting if you went to the USDA soil survey website and looked up your property to see what types of soil you have and compare your crop yields with what other farmers are reporting.
Look up yield mapping. Companies like John Deere have software that will track yields and allow you to overlay it over soil types / soil samples, fertilizer programs, pesticide applications, etc. There is some super cool tech in farming!
I used that to look at my soil, Im a homeowner but my property is zoned for AG as well as residential so i can do commercial farming on the back few acres if i wanted to. Turns out my soils both amazing for drainage but shit for yield lol. Ancient Sand Dunes
It would be curious to know the total man hours worked during this season, beginning to end, and figure out an hourly wage rate. What is your other employment during the grow/ harvest season.
Great breakdown. So easy to see how hard it can all be, have a good year, did a great job on new ground, still down 5k on just 30 acres. Put that over 2500 acres or half a bigger farm operation like some of the other UA-cam family’s everyone watches and it’s a quick -$ 400k loss. Ain’t easy to make money farming.
Super interesting, thank you for sharing! I give farmers so much credit, over $170 an acre in fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide and applications! What is sad is that spreadsheet doesn’t even include paying yourself!
Another excellent video Spence. Really enjoy you breaking out the numbers and demonstrating just how risky farming can be. I don't think people fully appreciate just how much risk the farmer is taking. From prices fluctuating up and down to how the weather can make or break a season. Hope you are well buddy and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the look at income and expenses. Some of these channels never address the financial side and lead people to believe farmers are making huge profits as evidenced by all the new machinery, bins and shops/equipment storage.
I was 12 back in 1968 the first time I was on a farm being a city kid. That summer I learned farmers are some of the hardest working people ever. My uncle could not believe all the financial questions I asked. I was trying figure out why he had a job as a finish carpenter, cabinet maker and farmer. He had loans on his 1200 acre farm, his buildings and equipment. He never went broke or became wealthy. He retired from farming in the 90's after the oil companies leased gas wells on his land and made way more than his farming ever did. Scale was the biggest obstacle, never making enough to expand to the level to compete and become highly profitable. This is still the main reason small businesses stay small. They lack resources and the business knowledge. Very few small farmers have ever had an MBA to expand, prosper and compete at the corporate level.
Greetings from Uruguay. I enjoy yours and Grant's videos very much. I'd love to see a video of your beginnings and how you managed to acquire and develop your farming enterprise. Thank you and good luck
it's insane that the price of everything has gone up over the past 3 years yet the price of crops has decreased. There's a large disconnect there somewhere and someone is making a fortune at the expense of farmers.
@@Heimerviewfarm to be honest tariffs might help the farmers with crop prices since they will have to buy foreign crops at 25% more when the land is currently overproducing. So you could sell your crops for either the same rates or better.
I love seeing the numbers. At the end of the day, that's all that matters in terms of whether or not it is sustainable. My initial reaction to this is: $22,000/ acres is not bad..... but now time to get those costs down...
The ROI and margins on corn and beans are absolutely awful. I raise vegetables on a small farm in Iowa. This year showed a net profit after expenses of $6000 per acre with a margin of approx 80%. That means just one acre of vegetables will crush 30 acres of row crops or hay in terms of profit, risk, land used, and every metric of comparison. I farmed on 7 acres. No employees and just small equipment. Those seven acres made more than farms 100 times my size. An advantage I have is there is little to no competition because the 'real' farmers don't think out of the box and will just continue to spend dollars to make pennies because all they know is corn and beans.
For sure that sounds awesome! Just one metric I think row crops/hay or larger scale farming beats small scale in your example is TIME. The amount of labor hours per acre, (if the farmer is doing all the work that is important to keep in mind) if your opportunity cost is high then it might not pencil out to spend x amount of hours on vegetables even if you netted $6,000 an acre. If you are just getting started then small scale is for sure the way to go. Also assume 7 acres is $8,000-$12,000 an acre or $250-$350 an acre rent in a “open market”. So will need some funds to start that. Totally agree with you though, ROI is much better small scale. Also keep in mind margins are at 5-6 year lows right now, if I owned the land outright I would have ballpark netted $350-$550 if I took 2020-2022 average commodity prices. That’s about a 4-5% return on cash assuming $10-12k an acre. Totally agree again with your comment, just offering a different perspectives that others may have.
@@spencerhilbert Time per acre is a good point, or return per hour. I work a full time job in town and the vegetables are still a hobby. I try for $100 per hour average in my spare time. Let's say it's $10K per acre cost plus some machinery, it pays for itself every three years or less just doing this in my spare time with maybe less than $125K invested. Bought another 46 acres for $500K just to rent back out to the seller. The seven acres pays for the 46 acres in just a matter of years. If I went all into corn/beans it would be 40 years before it paid for itself. I think if I was near to DesMoines or a larger town I could quit my job and just live off 10 acres selling produce.
Nice yeah that sounds like great numbers! Do you have a Instagram or anything you document/share about your setup? Would be interested to learn more for sure.
50 acre vegetable farm in SC myself. Started as my son’s summer job idea. But grew to a large deal. I was shocked at the soybean numbers. Why on earth do you guys keep planting them ? Plant variety of crowder peas. Pink eye specifically. Down here bringing $40 a half bushel shelled. $28 in the hull. And you can sell them before you pick . Okra $30 half bushel. You just have to work to pick. But the yield is outrageous.
I would ask around to see if any farmers are getting (drainage tiles) put in on their wet land areas and see about getting your field added to the list so at least that area that holds water can be turned into productive cropland.
Yup, I thought this year was good overall. The “negative cash flow” was just due to making equity payments on the land. Super good year, can’t complain at all!
I don't know because I am just a mid-sized market gardener and have never operated a row crop operation, but I am curious. Would a fall planted cover crop drilled into the stuble, or even broadcast, possibly reduce some of that fert cost the following year?
Yes cover crops are something I want to do for sure. Possibly do Ariel application this next fall into standing corn. Right now focusing on learning all the basics and getting those right. Not sure if planting cover crops would help in these first couple years in inputs, but for sure is beneficial in long run.
@@spencerhilbert check out Jon Stevens maple Grove farms. He's in northern Minnesota and has experimented with different system. Get ahold of your nrcs they may help with the application.
@spencerhilbert Cover crops you want to pick your goal. Are you trying to reduce inputs, fix erosion, improve soil.. On a soybean field for next year spread some winter Rye this winter yet. Next spring watch your ground moisture and your forecast. The second the ground moisture starts to be less muddy and the forecast is looking dry you terminate that cover crop of rye if in doubt terminated a little early because it will keep moving a little moisture You could do some in season cover crops in the soybeans. Check out Rye Carlson, he's an organic guy up in Mora Minnesota but I want to follow his buckwheat and mustard treatment in standing soybeans to reduce the amount of chemicals I'm not too far from organic corn. All I do is 3 oz of Callisto, and then once that corn is at V3 or V4 I go out with just 20 lb of oats and just a couple pounds of Buckwheat a few different radishes Italian rye grass and you shouldn't need any more chemical in that corn for the year Much larger conversation is needed reach out if you have questions I am not a salesperson
@@Heimerviewfarm I wish we had more seasoned I tried Clover and grasses late season into soybeans. You can't go too early because then you still got to try and combine the soybeans but we don't have enough season to go late and there wasn't enough growth. If I was south I would have probably done the same thing as soon as them beans start to yellow get some Clover and grass out there and maybe there'll be a little something for cows to nibble Or switch to a yellow pee instead of the soybean and then you would have a lot more fall to take advantage of growing something to feed cattle
Im honestly surprised you guys are running 25A series, i wouldve expected a group 3 at least. Also curious if youve heard of plenish beans in your part of the world and if it interests you at all, cant get enough acres here in upstate NY
You could grow different vegetables on about 4 acres and probably make more money every year with geothermal greenhouses, which can be done cheap or expensive
What do the land rents bring in your area. I have a friend who owns about 200 acres in southern Minnesota, he was getting 600 bucks an acre a few years ago. This year he reduced the rate, Would you have made more just renting out the land? With no labor or other costs. All of that rent would go to interest, taxes and building equity.
$600 an acre rent on 200 acres is insanely good rate (for the land owner) on strictly commodity crop producing land. I would assume $250-$400 on free open market rates in my region. Yeah $600 is extremely good.
@@donchristie420 What differece would that make, unless he can deduct morgage intrest, ect. I was a farmer, and know the differenc, I was just wondereing if the return on capital would be better with no risk.
In all seriousness, start small, avoid commodity crops, think outside the box, integrate livestock, and don’t use farming as a way to support an equipment addiction
Only way I am “hobby” farming here is by have supplemental income/off farm income. That’s probably the fastest and safest way to get into it if you don’t live around it or have anyone to help you. Bunch of different ways to do it, but having a financial safety net before you start is always good.
I always figure the cost of land rent for land costs and consider the land purchase a separate entity in my mind. Even if the lands paid for I could rent it to someone else.🤓
As a Aussie living in a small country town an wanting to farm but life never took me there love watching you two an wishing I could do this keep up the great work
It can be bad if you don't rotate. Different crops also grow better or worse depending on soil conditions. If you have a source of good fertilizer that won't break the bank you can plant the same crop every year but fertilizer tends to be expensive unless you have connections to a animal farm of some sort where you can get the manure for cheaper
I don't understand the need for constant tilling. My dad used to manage 45 thousand hectares in Brazil, mostly beans, corn and cotton. Any type of soil work would only be done in case of heavy compaction.
How is his cash flow guaranteed to be better? Also if he didn't make any money this year he's not paying any income tax, so why would he buy something to go further in the red?
So now you know what a city boy learned back when your grandpa was in high school with me. Farming ain't worth it. Who made money from your farming? Everyone else.
Don't forget all the govt welfare you collect as a soybean farmer. These guys act like they pay equipment and gas, they absolutely do not. Fun fact Farmers are the biggest collectors of government welfare by a mile
