@aghammer @JLinvilleFert @LEAADFarms Spot on guys. None of us have anything to do with this mess. Too often we get lumped into being part of the terrible economics, when a good sales person or a good rep cares way more than anyone knows.

@JLinvilleFert @LEAADFarms I agree Josh…lots of anger/fear/despair/emotions right now in Ag when it was already shaky. Same for the retail ag salesmen who often have to deliver the “bad” news. They are not the cause. Same with local equipment dealers, they don’t set the price of equipment

Serious tweet time. Farming is already hard. With everything going on with the world, inputs are skyrocketing making a bad situation much worse. If you get down, make sure you have a friend/family that you can talk to. Call 988 (U.S.) if you are desperate. Hell, call me.

@BEisenhart You’re part of the reason it died Ben. Move back to Culbertson and help the community thrive. You point it out like it’s someone else’s fault that Culbertson died. You’re part of the reason. Move home and fix it.

The Culbertson downtown park. I spent 1,000 hours on these courts in my elementary and junior high years. Thirty years ago, on a day like today, there would be pickup games going on. Now, nothing. The death of the small rural community.

Its been great to work with Willard Ag in the Mid Atlantic on Satchur8. Extend your residual and increase the Efficacy of your herbicides. Oh....its also very cost effective. There's some good news in this ag economy.

My Venezuela experience as head of trading in the region for Cargill. Cargill was/is the leading producer of critical staple ingredients such as flour, pasta, vegetable oil, and rice in VZ. I am not saying I agree with grabbing the dictator, but I did have a front row seat to the damage a kleptocracy did to innocent people. 1. The government took over our "minute rice" facility at gunpoint because we were "gouging" the nation's poor. The government was never able to run the plant. It never ran again. It was returned years later with no equipment inside 2. There are 1000's of generals in the army. They are each given a slice of the economy to loot. The large number of generals made it difficult to organize a coup against the regime. 3. The government opened grocery stores and sold staples below the cost we sold them to the government. In theory they used petro oil money to lower grocery prices. Our regular grocery outlets were forced out of business. When the government demanded we sell them products below cost we simply had to shut down. The populous became ever more dependent on the government handouts. (PS this is the mayor of New York City's proposal. 4. Dollars- We needed dollars to go buy raw materials like wheat from places like the US and Canada. The government would periodically allocate us some dollars that could only be spent for raw materials and freight. Eventually only the local companies that can and would pay bribes got dollar allocations. We had several facilities closed for lack of raw material 5. My employees liked working for Cargill. The office was an armed compound with access to a gym, high speed internet, global communications, and a weekly box of basic staples. Cargill provided a safe and secure environment if only for the working hours. 6. Employees became very close to others inside the apartment building. Going out on the street with a desperate population was not advisable. 7. I needed wood pallets for feed. We tried to export wood pallets to swap for grain. We refused to pay the bribes it would take to export the pallets 8. I once tried to set up a closed loop wheat planting to flour mill supply chain. A. They came and stole all the seed wheat for food. When we tried to ship in seed wheat in containers via US donors there was no way to get it out of the port without it being stolen 9. Livestock- Our feed business completely collapsed. Even if you could raise a pig, you couldn't defend it from being stolen. People with guns were hungry. 10. Employees- In the end my highly skilled team alone with other highly educated people chose to leave. Cargill often found jobs for them in other Latin countries. The regime was more than happy to see the well-educated leave the country. Setting these employees up with high quality stable jobs after fleeing remains one of the best things I ever did in my career. No one remembers millions in trading earnings. This is a short list. In my opinion the first money spent needs to happen now and it needs to be food. The US is already on the clock. The current regime does not care if it starves the population. The orgy of theft will actually accelerate if they believe their days are numbered. VZ should be an outstanding customer of US grown ag products. Rice, bread wheat, veg oil ect. Feed the people first. Jeff Kazin Former head trading Cargill

@cattleNcrops83 Through soil DNA we can show what improvements are actually happening. Ill tell you stalk digestion is truly a side benefit of the correct product. We dont have a me too product, the concept originated with us.

@cattleNcrops83 We have done a ton of work at Planet Earth Agronomy on the benefits of Carbon Cycle and Trashbreaker 2.0. Our founders name is on the patent. There's way more going on than simply stalk breakdown. We have spent alot of time this year discovering the true benefits of it.

Stalks from this harvest, stalks still here from last harvest on 100% no-till. Any magic products (besides tillage) out there to help breakdown residue where we get 20” of rain total for the year? These were grazed also last fall and will be again after harvest is over.

@RickBieber81 @FVCJeffW @FVCoop There was a positive yield response in nearly all instances. If the soil is mined out or areas of extreme drought, it didn't help. You cant improve availability of something that doesn't exist.

@RickBieber81 @FVCJeffW @FVCoop In 2025 Ultra Fluent performed exceptionally well in tough soils. Healthier soil=bigger roots, healthier plant. Larger more vigorous root system allows for better root to soil contact. We had alot of experience with it in west of the 100th meridian.

@RickBieber81 @FVCJeffW @FVCoop The reason why it works in our area is because our soils lack the microbes to produce phytohormones in any quantity. We have a couple hundred soil DNA tests to validate that. You also get the soybean dust carrier as a food source.

@FVC_LukeK @FVCJeffW @FVCoop @FVCDustyR Did you use potting soil or regular soil? The effects of Ultra Fluent SG on regular soil out of the field. Our soils lack the beneficial microbes to create the phytohormones that encourage root and shoot growth. Potting soil is full of those bacillius species.

Here’s an update on the ultra fluent wheat. The treated in right side is taller with a more consistent root system. You can see the height difference in the rights

This is a test we are doing in office! We are testing Ultra Fluent SG on some wheat seed. There is to rows of untreated on top side of picture that all of it is not up yet. The bottom side is treated with Ultra Fluent and almost all of it is up.They were planted at the same time!
