I have friends that have about the same acreage in Kansas that have a whole lot of money. Subsidies on ethanol are pushing up the price on corn. Beef is very high. I wander what they are raising in N. Dakota? I’m sure diesel is killing them, but that is usually tied to the basis on crop prices.

"Wheat is the top Crop Grown in North Dakota

Wheat is one of the top crops grown in North Dakota, with the state being the largest producer of durum wheat in the United States.
Durum wheat is used to make pasta, and North Dakota’s production is largely exported to countries such as Italy, Japan, and Nigeria. The state is also a top producer of spring wheat and barley.

Soyabeans is a Major Crop also Grown in North Dakota
Soybeans are another major crop in North Dakota, with the state being the seventh-largest producer in the United States.
In 2019, the state produced over 240 million bushels of soybeans, which were mainly used for animal feed and oil production.

Soybeans are grown throughout the state, with top counties including Cass, Richland, and Traill.

North Dakota is a Major Producer of Corn."

Profitability would vary depending on the crop.

Last year was a record corn harvest and this year should be bigger. Fuel ethanol is big this year.
