@clintwfischer Keep in mind many counties will reclassify the land from agricultural to commercial which has a much higher property tax

What would you do if you're in this guy's shoes: Farmer in his mid 60s. Two kids, neither coming back to farm. Company is rounding up acres for a solar farm. Offer him $1,400/acre for 25 years on 160 acres across the road from his house. He's well aware of the lease risks and doesn't like solar farms any more than you do. But, the neighbor who owns three adjacent quarters already signed up with the Solar Co. So, likely he'll have panels to look at in a few years regardless if he signs up or not. Plus, he and his wife have been kicking around the idea of retirement and moving to the lake house anyway... Take the money, retire, and invest elsewhere? Or sit this phase out and see what happens? *For context, it's about $300/ acre cash rent ground. Seems like they're making these $$ offers almost too good to turn down.

@AgBullMedia Loved your exiting comments regarding domestic demand for grains. Great perspective. Thanks we needed to hear that

@JRowley11 @laurenboebert I am a farmer, please show where I am subsidized. Can’t remember the last time I received a subsidy

This Administration understands the importance of the American Farmers who feed and fuel our country. No one loves farmers more than President Trump... and me!

An unofficial sign of high IQ is the ability to see someone’s opinion without saying “stop telling me what to do!!!!!” Another sign of high IQ is agreeing with my post, because it is objectively, obviously true

@FarmPolicy Would rather have year round E-15

President Biden signed a stop-gap government funding bill over the weekend that calls for speedy payment of $10 billion to #farmers to buffer lower commodity prices and high production costs. agriculture.com/farmers-to-get…

@GHalv @HagemanforWY You are correct

@HagemanforWY We are going to get absolutely WRECKED come November.

The Republican primary is over. It was never really going to be a contest, but New Hampshire just sealed it. President Trump is our strong nominee and we must work toward November starting now.

BIDEN'S BORDER CRISIS The number of unaccompanied children arriving at the southern border is at its peak since December 2022. Federal numbers show there was a 73% rise in unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border compared to June.

@JLinvilleFert How do I sign up for your newsletter ?

FYI, if you are on the farmer newsletter, I sent out a mid-month update this morning. There are some opportunities that I thought worth pointing out that need to be discussed on the local level with your retailer.

@FrewenK So sorry to see this. Where aboust was this video taken??

Well…it happened…2 days from running wide open on wheat harvest and some of the best yields in the state…gone…corn gone also…not fun driving around. But the sun will come up tomorrow.. we will persevere.
