in building a profitable plan. the response that i hear then was that if we can’t cut cost in rate, we have to cut cost in product. so let’s look at what saving $25 a ton looks like as different products.
what about seed? if i save $25 per bag and i am planting my corn at an average of 32,000 across all my acres, i am saving $10.00 per acre on seed. that sounds good to me.
now, i understand that all of those savings are real money and that they would add up, but we also need to make sure we account for other costs that go with those savings.
