Auburn Agency Crop

@steeves11 For 41 years we have supported our 4-H and FFA through auctions. A special shout out to Arlington Co Ne. The 4-H has to have a pre written thank-you note at podium to get animal in. Right after animal sells, they personalize it to bidder. 4-H learns that’s part of deal

Local 4-H sale yesterday. Impressive prices and local support. Disappointed to see who wasn’t represented. Not a single bank, crop input dealer, equipment manufacture or dealership bought. For an industry that cries “prices aren’t the only thing, consider our service” and “we can’t find labor” you’d sure think the local 4-H sales would be a good place to start.

Ruth, Liz and Ricki are currently attending CIPA Spring Annual Meeting 2024 in Kansas City. Jim Wiesemeyer is kicking things off this morning with some great information.

@beedle_nick @WLonginaker Looks like it is out of high risk and (worse in short terms) tyield map areas

@WLonginaker Would they be in the ‘high risk’ area for crop insurance as well?

These farms had a lot of sand on them after the 2019 flood, and I think that was reflected in today’s prices.
