Re the last paragraph of: Prices Paid for Farm Inputs vs. Prices Received for Crops: Implications for Managing Risk and Farm Policy


"Last, the lack of a trend in the ratio of crop prices to input prices adjusted for productivity"

Input prices aren't rising in lockstep with farm income.

"suggests that a key risk management strategy is to pursue the highest level of input productivity while not incurring large debt."

You should control your costs.

"Thus, history suggests a good risk management strategy is to use the current period of farm prosperity to improve farm productivity without incurring debt."

Because it ain't gonna last, invest your profits wisely.
