With how heavily subsidised corn is in the US it would an achievement to fail at turning a profit.
AG 101 “How to lose money on corn”
-
Rent more land than you own.
-
Buy the cheapest seed you can find to “save money”
-
Grow the corn non-irrigated
-
Use custom operators to fertilize, plant, spray, and harvest but minimize what you put down to “save money”.
-
Gamble the entire year on the commodities market selling your crop.
Even with subsidies this is a recipe for losing money. These “farmers” tend to consistently lose money until they eventually go under after all the equity in the land they own is gone.
My dude, what lemmies are you subbed to? I want to discuss these things somewhere, can’t find anything reasonable.
-
…I should start growing corn
First you need a lot of land and some heavy farm equipment. Then a contract with Monsanto…
