@FoulkShay Let’s look at profit margins for the fertilizer companies… oh wait records profits.

What happens if the fertilizer companies aren’t price gouging and it’s just really damn expensive to produce fertilizer? What then? Continue to cry about it, or are you going to do something about it? Good morning

@chuck_stccc Added this last year. Filter does 25000 gallons.

Got a good look at our irrigation water today.

@jvercautren What are you using to keep grade?

Can’t ever have enough drainage.

@sprnghvnsupt Does it need to be on grade to work?

Parting Shots Day 2

@ParkerBaneSeed I added the red crown rot one… I can’t remember the name it’s from Syngenta tho

@soybeanmaster Trying any Victrato this year?

If you planted soybeans in north central Illinois last week, it’ll be a good test of how well your treatment works 🤣

@ParkerBaneSeed These made 106

@soybeanmaster Early planting is reliably a best practice. What’s your preferred treatment? The area in question got pounded with a fair amount of snow in blizzard conditions with temps in the single digits, so I am curious if anyone planted and how it goes!

@rodgrisier1958 imagine if ammonia was $300/ton. We have 120 million acres of corn planted in the USA

High fertilizer prices may actually be a blessing in the long run. Curb production World Wide. Then we will find out what food is really worth.

@CBKimbrell Everyone complaining about high nitrogen but if nitrogen was cheap we would be over 100 million acres of corn. High prices are keeping corn acres in check.

At some point this affects corn acres.

@WyattByrdie No not at all just curious I’ve never applied gypsum. Granted, we pull for a big lake so I don’t have sodium problems.

@soybeanmaster My response was not meant to sound arrogant. It reads that way, but not meant to be 🤙🏻

Happy Monday! Feels like spring when the early order chem co-op orders arrive every year in March. Applying gypsum to greens tomorrow ahead of the rain.

@callahan_kyle 1.25” pvc pipe over that rubber end helps with the water spalsh

Go time….

@BrianWillott Yet very few operations are going broke…

Four years of negative returns, something's got to give.

@GrainsGorilla Just curious , what range should corn and soybeans be in?

Can’t wait to see what the market does tomorrow when export sales come out. Should see negative bean sales and corn sales 250k or less. Back to lows after running stops today

@clintwfischer Last time I checked kids don’t cancel school. It’s the parents/ super maybe the boomers are soft.

School was just canceled tomorrow for extreme cold temps. Let's hear all the comments about how 40 yrs ago kids would be walking to school in shorts & flip flops when it was only -20° 👇

@HBWilkens @BobGunzy @alisonrISU Think it covers app you can buy generic quilt for $6/acre. Syngenta products were more expensive than basf last time last year

@BobGunzy @alisonrISU Interesting data. Thanks for sharing. I’ve never paid anything close to that prices for Neo and / or Veltyma

2025 fungicide trial results from @alisonrISU at ISU ICM Conference. Generic azoxy + prop had the best return. Fungicide paid best on susceptible hybrids at R1 but resistant hybrids were a loss w/fungicide.

That’s it for the 2025 watering season … blow out day

@GrainsGorilla Yeah… cuz the Chinese don’t lie cheat or steal. Got it 👍🏻

China’s ministry of Commerce made an official statement that NO specific or long-term “commitments” were confirmed by the Chinese side for soybean purchases.

@Iowacrops Getting rid of Crop insurance would strengthen rural America

Dismantling the Farm Credit system would strengthen rural America.. Change my mind!
