[QUOTE="franklin, post: 3629200, member: 1118"] My costs are going to be truely awful. So far: 50 seeds DK Extrovert 180kg/ha DAP at drilling Metzachlor peri-em with insecticide 2nd insecticide Crawler @ 3kg Autumn teb @ 0.5lt, plus boron. 2.1lt generic Kerb in Jan. Just had 1.5lt Monkey + boron 200kg/ha Piamon 200kg/ha urea. Another 200kg/ha urea planned, and will be two fungicides and dessication. Plus land work. Plus FBT rent. I will be disappointed to get less than 4.5t/ha and am usually (not last year) knocking on the door of 5t/ha. At 4.5t/ac thats the best part of £700/ac output including SFP, which is a good £200+ per acre profit. I think a lot to do with the profit on the inputs side comes down to your rent / rental equivalent, and your nitrogen price. My rent is high, but my N was bloomin' cheap this year. [/QUOTE]
