Jackasses with no knowledge think that farmers are gonna fertilize 95 million acres of corn 🤣🤣
They may plant that many, but y’all are fucking crazy if you think anybody has any $$ to pour into those acres.
Keep on huffing paint.
This 40 year old sprinkler is 9 years newer than myself.
And we’ve learned enough tricks and hacks over the years to keep rolling along
after most sane people would have thrown in the towel.
@openingprint Opening would hurt farmers. What are you talking about.
Farmers are getting prices to hedge today that are DOLLARs above what they should be.
@FleetOutlaw@laurenpayne2012@DDFalpha This literally makes no fucking sense, I hedge against the unforeseen risk that could appear against cattle that I have on feed, what the fuck does this have to do about oil shorts?
@laurenpayne2012@BDScattlecorn@DDFalpha Day traders . Good 4 them. I love short traders because it makes it fun when bulls take them 4 a good butt cleaning. Oil shorts comes to mind. Cleaned out
@FleetOutlaw@laurenpayne2012@DDFalpha Yes you’re right, it should always just be a bullish cof report because fundamentals never change cause we say they haven’t.
@BDScattlecorn@laurenpayne2012@DDFalpha No one knows for sure with so much outside stuff going on however if u base a trade on higher placements in 1 month it’s brave strategy. Numbers r not getting more numerous. That said it n no way can keep mrk from going down. Lots of head winds today. Drought is a lurking problem
@laurenpayne2012@DDFalpha Placements for February was against an extremely low number in 2025. Got nice price rally and dry weather brought lots of wheat cattle to market. March placements will be down drastically y/y IMO. 15% or more I am thinking
Here’s some perspective.
#Gold closed the week over $5,000 and #Silver over $80.
#Oil has been ripping and will probably continue to rip to $200+.
There may continue to be short-term turbulence in metals, but they are going to rip your faces off even more than with oil will.
@Grainger20 Grainger- Daddy the Parmer county guys keep picking on me on the internet what should I do ? Here’s 3 million son just buy them out, we’ll raise tea prices and they’ll eventually pay us back through their wives.
@Grainger20 Thanks but tea shops weren’t a thing when I got started, and I chose to build my empire out of spite to all the neighbors instead of relying on someone to just give it to me.
@BDScattlecorn You sure seem to know a lot. Sounds like your dad should have bought into tea shops to fund your operation like mine does mine. Makes it pretty easy
If you want to know how dumb most people are, here it is. An Amarillo TX city park has been taken over by prairie dogs, there are people on Facebook suggesting they relocate them, or make it a prairie dog exhibit. You can’t make this up, prairie dogs are absolutely useless.
2 weeks ago the general sentiment on here was that the American Farmer was hosed and times have never been worse.
Tonight I have already seen multiple tweets that farmland will be extremely profitable over the next 3 years and farmers are going to be rich off $7 corn.

Fred farms 6,000 acres which are all leased through many landlords.
He is well known as a top-notch producer and regularly must turn down offers to rent acres from new and existing landlords as those farms don’t fit within his operational goals.
For his first opportunity to buy out a small parcel from a landlord, he had the ability to make the entire purchase on his own. His understanding of the importance of cash to keep his risk levels down and how much cash is needed to scale the operation led him to pursue a different option.
Instead of buying the entire property, he found a friend from college who ran his own business. These two bought the ground on 50% shares.
The ability to bring in a like-minded investor and preserve cash will allow Fred to buy ground each time a landlord approaches him wanting to sell.
