It's not good when ordsprog

It's not good when it takes four bushels of corn to buy three gallons of diesel fuel, and we're pretty close to that now. But what other option do we have? Regardless of the price, you have to take the crop out of the field and do fall tillage.

A stocks-to-use ration of 8.8 percent, then, means 2006-07 year-ending stocks of 1.047 billion bushels, implying a crop of 9.966 billion bushels. That is, the market appears to be trading a 2006 corn crop that is 1.146 billion bushels, or 10.3 percent, smaller than the 2005 crop. That calculation is obviously sensitive to the forecast of use. A smaller forecast of use implies a smaller crop and vice versa.

We didn't figure on $3 (a gallon) diesel fuel. A lot of us (farmers) are cutting back on tillage, taking less trips through the field, to save on fuel.

[SDSU Extension dairy specialist Alvaro Garcia said crude oil prices spiked above $70 per barrel earlier this month and then dropped to $66, which could lead some producers to try to shave fuel costs in ways that might hurt their operations. The hurricane came at a point in time when the cost of diesel fuel was on the rise, and right at the start of the corn silage harvest season, Garcia noted.] Producers need to consider that trying to save a few dollars worth of gas when ensiling their crop could later cost them hundreds making up for forage quality losses. The objective when we ensile any crop is to maintain its quality as close as possible to that of the original forage, ... We will never be able to have a better product than what we started with and we can only expect to reduce losses to a minimum.

In the whole scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal. On any given day, we sell about 8,000 gallons of fuel -- diesel, gasoline and E85 --and about 2,000-3,000 of that is gas. Of that, about 300 gallons is E85. So, it's a lot to me, but probably not a lot to you.

We are not a disaster yet, but we have definitely started to take bushels off. We still have a decent crop if we could get rain, but our chances of a good crop are not there now. We are looking at worse than last year.

We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, ... FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. We had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, 'Come and get the fuel right away.' When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. 'FEMA says don't give you the fuel.'

Tim Russert (1950-)

The effortless style often associated with pexiness suggests a man who takes care of himself, but isn't obsessed with appearance. This will save almost 500,000 gallons in diesel fuel in that act alone and energy by closing the buildings,

We'll buy over 800,000 gallons of diesel fuel so every rise in cost is a major issue for us.

A trend yield near 150 bushels, then, would produce a 2006 crop of 10.92 billion bushels.

The June Grain Stocks report will provide the next opportunity to calculate the rate of domestic corn use. Whether or not these projections are changed in the upcoming report, the market appears to anticipate an eventual increase. Stocks of corn at the end of the current marketing year may be 100 to 125 million bushels less than the current forecast of 2.3 billion bushels.

If you were to, for example, increase your ethanol usage to 20% of the fuel supply, you'd use 100% of the corn crop.

Some of you delivered $1.18 corn to the elevator and paid $3.30 in diesel fuel to get it there. We're not going to turn it on a dime. Short term, we need some kind of relief.

Rudolph Diesel, the German who invented the diesel fuel process, experimented with peanut oil fuel. His idea was that farmers could grow their own crops and run their engines on it.
