@TorkTalk Maybe so but the world has shown us how little of a shit they care about those trying to feed them!

I respect what regenerative guys are doing. Some of it makes real sense. But every time someone asks them on a podcast if their method can scale to feed the world, they dodge it. They know the answer. The world needs about 8 billion meals a day and the math doesn't change because something is a good story. You can run a niche operation and respect that conventional farming exists at the same time.

@JerodMcDaniel @swksfarmer Your not gonna get punished for something your not currently getting punished for 😂

@swksfarmer But what did he actually say about DEF except it was bad? I couldn’t actually figure it out

I’m not sure what Trump even said today, but to me sounds like more rhetoric/propaganda based not in reality. And something about loans, because that’s what farmers/ranchers need, more debt… They don’t want to fix shit, they just want everybody to keep working for nothing.

@brim006 Did the garage burn down?

What say you plainsman?

@forallcurious No shit! This isn't new

🚨: Earth is tilting toward its next ice age in 10,000 years, new research reveals

@corn_porkNbeans @gavin_spoor You just described every long time family biz in the country

Some wish they could farm. Some want to farm. Some want to look like farmers. Some never wanted to farm but feel they have to. It goes on and on…

@Bkitch1Bodie Any pet food mfg in your area?

We’ve average around 15% moisture an 61.2# TW coming out of bins. Which begs question, we get docked quickly for having low TW but why don’t we get a premium for 61+ pound test weight? Especially since every metric of this is technically number 1 yellow not #2 yellow dent

@MeatEaterTV @gorerangemulie He wins

@gorerangemulie Well that’ll perk us up. What a view.

Flour or corn tortillas for your wild game tacos?

@brim006 It seems to be especially obvious in the surrounding states other than the one to the W of you

@NorthIowa True. I know for sure Fargo, grand forks, minot, rapid, SF and several others are in the same boat.

No matter what’s going on in the outside world, Bismarck-Mandan seems to just keep buzzing right along. Homes are still selling, everyone is still short-handed and begging for workers, and those worn-out “Now Hiring” signs keep flapping in the wind. It never stops. The same thing happened during the 2008–2010 tough times. Bisman is obviously on a small scale, but the supply-vs-demand imbalance has always felt tilted. Rates and prices are still high, yet a home down the street from us was listed and sold within a few days. In fact, it’s already the 12th home to sell in our little neighborhood in already in 2026. For better or worse, it’s like we live in a little economic bubble.

@JerodMcDaniel Yup gotta get up and check tires and do pre trip in the dark

Let’s rename daylight savings time to what it actually is… Stealing an hour of daylight from productive people who get up & get shit done and give it to a bunch of lazy 9-5 fucks who will piss it away on some afternoon instagram bullshit activity to impress fake friends time.

@TheOnlyDSC Inflation 😂

Autism spending in Minnesota went from $1MM in 2017 to $343MM only 7 years later in 2024.🤯

@JLinvilleFert My only issue is the second I start fueling up I gotta go pee!

Am I the weird one for thinking that after you fuel your truck, if you need to go inside, you pull your truck up to a parking spot and go in rather than leave it at the pump?

@JLinvilleFert @_TheMizzouTiger Does anyone have urea numbers for DEF use?

@_TheMizzouTiger No but removing that would also be a fast help.

I am ending the week on a soapbox. We need more N.A. nitrogen production. Prices are high because of global tightness. Every nation's biggest national security issue is food. Fertilizer is absolutely key to food production so why do we depend on the world for it?

@jvin248 @JLinvilleFert Shame on you for making so much sense! You should no better

@JLinvilleFert What if we only have domestic nitrogen? Prices of nitrogen skyrocket Farmers cut back the amount used to grow with Cut back rented ground and poorer ground too Yields are lower Corn/soybean prices per bushel go way up Farmers make a lot more money by working fewer acres

@brim006 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Teddy Roosevelt shot his first Buffalo and first Grizzly Bear on the banks of the Little Missouri River just outside of Marmarth, North Dakota. The once lively Wild West cowboy town is nearing ghost town status today.

@brim006 Yup! People don't realize how vast the great American desert is

I stared at this for like 25 mins

Fertilizer YoY comparisons (NOLA): Urea - $60 or 15% higher UAN - $60 or 23% higher DAP - $30 or 5% higher MAP - $70 or 12% higher Potash - $7 or 3% higher New crop corn is down 9-cents or 2% lower. Beans are down 33-cents or 3% lower. Wheat is down 55-cents or 9% lower.

@FarmrHuntr Not sure that it matters or not but it is interesting to bring up the fact this soil is here courtesy of the most amazing case of erosion in the history of the earth.

Still amazes me this has been normalized and accepted as cost of doing business

@riley_sides You guys are forgetting about land values. Divide the rent by land value and tell me what you get. And why is it always the landlord that's suppose to adjust us back into profitability? Have you seen Q3 profits for big Farma? Look at Q3 EBITDA for CF Industries for example

Producers have 1 good year ($8 corn, $3.50 feeders) and landlords think rents can be raised 25%+ or find a new tenant that will. The catch is the rent never goes back down when corn and cattle get cut in half. Then next good cycle they raise it again. Producers are supposed to use the good years to offset the years of struggle, which is almost impossible anymore. The whole ag model got destroyed went rented ground went from being a tool to cash flow land purchases from existing landlords into short term Max cash rent contracts or long term serfdom from families that never have any intention of selling to you. Very rarely are producers taking advantage of landlords in this day in age. Quite the opposite, actually.

@yake121 Yes! Land Grant university professors preaching 10B by 2050 or something like that

When I was in university in 1999 taking my ag degree professors talking about the challenges of feeding all these people by 2020. Here we are 2026. Overproducing products for a price we cant afford to a population that cant afford to pay the price that we cant afford to sell for
