3 break-evens are more than 6 months old. Every target, every margin and every recommendation on those crops is measured against numbers set before this season's fertilizer, fuel and cash rent were known. Getting Gary Iverson onto Farmer Metrics is what stops this being a phone call every six months. See the referral path.

A break-even is an estimate, so pricing exactly at one is pricing at the midpoint of an error bar.

The desk treats a break-even older than 6 months as not trusted, because six months spans a planting-to-harvest change in fertilizer, fuel and cash rent. A February break-even used to justify an August sale is a different farm's numbers.
Cost per acre is the cost of the crop divided by planted acres, so it moves with yield as well as with cost. A good year lowers the cost per bushel without a single input getting cheaper, which is the part clients find hardest to believe and the reason the plan is written in dollars per bushel.
