[AT] lost

[charlie hill]

Al, the last crop of Soybeans I grew myself was in my senior year of high 
school.
I tended to them like a mother over a new baby.  They were beautiful, 20 
acres of them
and not a weed in them anywhere.  That was before the days of round up. 
They were weed
free because I personally walked every row after they lapped the middles and 
pulled out any and
every weed that the plows didn't get before layby.  Then in August it turned 
dry.
I picked about 2/3 of a load on a 2 ton truck of soy bb's.    Paid the seed 
and fertilizer bill
and the tax on the farm for the year.  My labor, the value of the land rent, 
the fuel bill for the tractor
and everything else was lost.

I hope they will make that.  It seems like beans for us are pretty 
consistent.  There was one year it was real dry late in the summer, corn was 
great but beans looked terrible.  There were places the combine didn't even 
go through and the farm still averaged like 38-39 overall.  They were 
absolutely loaded with blooms this summer but it got a little dry when they 
were filling out.
