some issues that are different this years and years past is that with all the things going on the world today are input costs. have almost doubled nitrogen. oh, green, double and triple a form of nitrogen that's been interesting. next year is the one that's going to be typical. and we're running off all inventory supply chain issues while we're told. because a cold little over reaction that the cold with that which caused a lot of supply chain problems. and that's what we're, they're telling us for. see, i don't, i think it's great bother if everything would, everything would stabilize. it will help it. so i want to

say it very risky. very risky right now. for example, you could have to far was living one right across the road from each other. and each operate just a little bit different. if one i'm lucky enough to show his price far enough, ahead and a good price. and the other one doesn't. one can go broke and the other, oh no it's, it's, this is going to be it's going to be really hard for everybody to keep going. so i will make it someone won't. ah me. your heritage is sweet. to me. it came from sweden and in sweden,

i believe her last name was peterson. and then when they come here, then they changed it to patterson just because there i think it was too many peterson and you know the 1st patterson moved here like an 865. and then probably didn't stake his claim until, you know, in the end of 18 seventy's. and then i think he jumped on his horse and rode a boon to take his claim. anyway, so those kind of kinda interesting. so goes back a long way. so. yeah. so 18 hundreds, i guess late 18 hundreds. we homesteaded some ground while we're i live. that was me. 889-8218? 87. something like that. up through now. my dad farms and locals and just been around forever to hard to get away from it

but a dirty track of her backdrop. so in the state of iowa, they give awards to farms that have been in the family for a 100 years or a 150 years. so this is the order we got in 1976. my grandfather roy got for having the farm for a 100 years in the family and will be coming up here in just a couple of years. now. honor 150 years of this being a family farm. ah, everything. everything is so expensive right now. the main reason is because of the cost of fuel that drives cost from everything up. the difference in price of what the farmer gets for the grain. it seems like it's a high price, but when you take that in consideration, what all the inputs, the equipment and all that stuff actually are grain prices are, are not high enough to keep up with what

a wall. all of your inputs are costing us. gas price, as far as reason for it. ah, our current, a lame duck president, is blaming russia for that. and he doesn't realize that if you could exploring oil resources in the us and canada is shut down pipelines is you make doing business so prohibitively expensive or so time consuming to file for the right permits and filling new forms out all the time . ah, your gas company is, are going to get blamed for the problem, but they are not the problem. they would like to maximize output. so biden really can't blame, put in for causing the problem. because he himself caused the problem. in his campaign speeches, he was trying to pander to his woke crowd and he said,

there is no room for fossil fuel in this administration, if i get elected soul, ah, my plan on that, which if i was king, i would do. i would have every one that voted for don trump. bice, get to buy field for $2.00 a gallon less. and everyone that voted for biden paid $2.00 more for fuel. so that would be my solution. what we need to do the legs. nate, what united states need to do is i start drill or awhile ago we, we, we've got, we can drill for oil. and for some reason our government thinks that we shouldn't be using our own oil, which is crazy. we got our environmentalist and all that trying to stop it. so what

do we do? i don't take electric cars is gonna solve the problem. how do you make electricity? windmills when, when you have to blow for the wind wheels to work, what are you doing? the wind doesn't blow but to say that we're going to work off solar or battery technology that we have now. i don't think we got the capacity to do the work we're doing with what is available. you still have to have a source of electricity to charge your battery capacitor or whatever system you're using. if you let your diesel fuel and turn the generator to make the energy, the fertilizers, a lot of the, the commercial, a conventional fertilizers are what really has one very high this year. so this is urea. so this is 46 percent nitrogen. that is more than double that it was last year. the process to make this is using does use natural gas. so that's,

that's the main reason that is higher people that have farm their land for a long time. they generally have a surplus of fertilizers in the soil. it's, i don't know like money in the bank, i guess you'd call it. and you can minimize inputs for a few years, but it will come back to haunt you eventually. if you don't try to keep up, when you put fertilizer on the land, it generally takes 4 to 5 years before you start to realize any benefits from it because it is a mineral and it takes the microbes in the soil to break it down. so a plan can use it. so yeah, it's available, nitrogen is the only thing that's got to be replaced every year and finding a source for nitrogen has been the hurdle nitrogen. it's like the gas engine of the plan that gives you your height that gives you your size and it makes your plant healthy. so you put a good ear on the same chloride that's more than double also. and we believe

that's more due to energy or just because they can raise it because it shouldn't cost the company is twice as much to produce that same ton of fertilizer as it did, you know, in the past. so i think what it was is typically, john deere and monsanto are always competing to see who can extract $100.00 an acre from each farmer that's raising cord. so it looked to me like the fertilizer industry want it to get in the front line to see if they could attract $200.00 an acre from the fertilizer expense. and that's what they did this year. and we know every society that has degraded it. soil doesn't treat it right and some failing because they lost their food supply, hungry people,

right. and overthrow government. so as far as in the, the end user. so the general public buying, you know, a lot of this food, basically because the food is, comes lots in the corn and soybeans even if it's fed through animals you know, the, the b for poultry fish. i've noticed in the grocery store that a lot of these prices are up 25 to 30 percent already. and with high fertilizer and energy prices, you know, they will stay high with a fertilizer being twice as high as where it is normally that probably alone adds, you know, 10 or 15 percent to the cost of that product going in the grocery store. so for, so this is affecting everyone obviously, i mean, everyone needs to eat and costs in the groceries are going to be increase

in the in so. so yeah for next year can dramatically change. we don't see him if we don't see our commodity prices stay high because our input prices have already gone up. fertilizer and chemicals have dramatically risen fuel is dramatically risen. and right now it's, it's a waiting list. if you need to replace machinery, basically, it's really hard to get your hands on any kind of new or used machinery. probably one of the bigger issues right now is get our hands on tires a certain size of the tires. we've had a hard time with. i mean, when it's time to replace the tire, you can't just sit back and wait. it's time to replace the tire. you got to put a new one on in the area of machine parts. if far were has a 500 dollars 1000 dollar combine with a $150000.00 head on it. when it is missing a $5.00 part that was made in china and they don't have that part. the country does

a sound like a good idea to have it so that machine has to set and his crop doesn't get combine before the heavy snows yet. so we've, in this country, are political leaders have been spineless. and they allowed a lot of the manufacturing to be offshored and often times and countries that aren't always friendly to us. bar for machinery has very bad ha, used equipment is getting really expensive because new you can't, my new flu are doing here is making reverse osmosis water. we use reverse most water for some of our fertilizer products that we make as well as from our com policies. this, this towed is, has,

is full of worms that we're using to make one castings and basically get this composted mix ready to be used for compost t extract. this replaces for the spring planting application. what farmer would be paying $30.00 an acre for this is going to cost them about $12.00. so that's where the cost savings comes in. that's why we're doing it. yep. so what we're doing here is using the g o t 250 machine to take dry composts or a dry compost blend that has different ingredients in a light form castings. and for what can you make asses and different food sources for the biology? where put it in this tea bag or whatever and then bubbling water through it,

latch it. basically what it does is you're reenacting the saw with this bacteria and fungi and that bacteria, fungi are loosely enough or making some of that available nutrients available to the plant makes everything work better. it puts more air in the soil, puts more worn soil. it just makes the plants thrive. another thing we're going to do this year, we're going to use full air on the corn that is a nitrogen fixing bacteria. and for like 15 or $20.00 an acre, we think we can get $45.00 to $50.00 pounds of nitrogen, which is about half the price of, of nitrogen right now. me not. i think that's the things were going to have to start new and in the future. and i do believe there will be a lot of people starting new that in the future. if these prices stay, a farmers will find

a way to survive and always have there some difficulty in it. but we'll see more manufacturing come back and we'll get through it a ah, ah, with your was a year, a shorter one. i'm not going to stay like a ah

ah, are you currently a so i all i civilian river crossing in has power by russian and defenses according to the 30 day off to another effect and deadly. the route is used by people heading to safe ground policy visits, a place that go into and his stories. so again, if someone does that, i did a bomb just with rockets all day and all night our home was destroy the error. but look at the coming, it's not safe for children.
