Ep. 157: Exploring Farm Niches, Hay Hauling Tips & The Row Crop Debate!

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we’re diving into listener questions and covering a range of hot topics. We start with insights on opening a farm store, then weigh the pros and cons of using a hay trailer versus a gooseneck. We also give our take on the presidential debate, discuss whether sunflowers are profitable, and ask a tough question: do we have too many row crop farmers in the U.S.?

Why don’t we see more fuel being made out of our corn and beans? More ethanol and biofuels could be made. That could add the demand the row crop farmer needs

[@talkdirttomepodcast]

There are mandates in some areas that a certain percentage of the fuel must contain ethanol, which may help grain prices, but I (Bobby Lee) don't necessarily agree with that approach (government mandating use of a product when the market doesn't necessarily demand it). We have those external factors impacting supply and demand, which unnaturally affects the markets. If biofuels are great, the markets will demand that more grain be grown and made into those products.
