TRUMP: “Windmills, and the rest of this "JUNK," are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world, is destroying the beauty of the environment…”

We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot by making questionable an most likely off label pesticide applications. Wind speeds over about a 30-40 min time frame from a weather station two miles from the field.

@krusty316 @TheSopranosClub As long as it’s not a pair of socks.

@TheSopranosClub From now on, every day is a gift.

Pick a Sopranos character and tell me what their New Year’s resolutions might have been?

Corn harvested at 29% moisture: 303 bpa 2.5 weeks later same field harvested at 17%: 284 bpa (Yields are at 15% moisture) The phantom is out this fall.

@BillGraff Thank you for sharing, sounds like a great man.

I got the call this morning that I knew was quickly approaching. Dad passed away this morning nine days shy of his ninety-ninth birthday. Long time farmer, grew up in the depression, but what he was most proud of was his service as a combat infantryman in Europe in World War Two. He carried a BAR and until recently I never knew him to sleep all the way through a night. He made his peace with God on the night of January 10th, 1945 in a foxhole southeast of Bastogne. First platoon, Company C, 134th Infantry, 35th Division. Every since Mom passed away in 2019 he wanted to be next to her in the Irish Grove Cemetery and to be with his army buddies. You see he was only 19 and he was the “baby” of his company. At least that was his nickname. The Bulge, Holland, Ruhr River crossing, Rhine River crossing and then up to the Elbe River less than 75 miles from Berlin. He said “we always moved on Sundays”, looks like this morning was his last move. We are all alright and ok with this. His quality of life in the end was not good even though his care was excellent. Lastly, in farming lingo I am officially the “old man” around here now.

How wind turbines are built. Imagine believing these eyesores are an efficient use of resources, let alone "green" and "environmentally-friendly". 🤦‍♂️

We have a streaker on the field

(1) I am remembering Leonard Funk today, a hard charing paratrooper who earned the Medal of Honor with the 82nd Airborne in 1945. Funk was one of the most decorated paratroopers of the War, earning the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal, and three Purple Hearts. Honor and remember First Sergeant Funk! #usarmy #paratrooper #82ndairborne #worldwarII #worldwar2 #hero #leader

People are dumb. If you’re gonna clean your car out don’t leave a pay stub with it.

@PatrickWOlson No

Is there a rougher RR crossing than Brush College and Fairies in Decatur?

@PatrickWOlson @Honn_2 Rail pit at the west plant? I’ve never done that

@42just @Honn_2 Yesterday, if you could get past the trains the plant was quick. Had the rail dump open as well as regular pit

Not a bad day to move beans

@PatrickWOlson @Honn_2 That’s the truth. It’s been worse than usual at the west plant it seems like. I have 2 left this month.

@Honn_2 Lines were moving fine until the train entered the equation. A good day can turn south in a hurry at ADM

@krabbew I was just hoping for a good price on the Benz

Corn yields are thru the roof and the seed guy comes around during glut harvest pushing the new hybrid….

@sanegrain They start With the first guy and end with the last too.

The state is getting so much safer with SAFE-T taking effect. Spread it through the whole state!

@Storm5farms Wow. I have gotten 1/2 inch.

About 8.5” here since Saturday. Never complain about August rains.

Heading into this week's Midwest heat wave, I wanted to post the current accumulated stress degree day map. Calculated by adding degrees above 86°F for each day. Example: if today is 95°F, 9 SDDs are accumulated >140 SDDs could result in corn yield loss Data: PRISM April 1

@TheSopranosClub What, no fucking ziti?

@HettingerPlants @PrecisionPlant @hettfarm I’ve been waiting for this reveal all spring, trying to figure out if it spelled something from the road as I drove by. Looks great!

As much as we love vDrive this sunflower maze was planted by dadDrive! No gps, 2row planter. @PrecisionPlant @hettfarm

Six years ago, Illinois passed its largest permanent income tax hike. Advocates said it would boost state revenue. What happened? 🤔 The opposite. 🚩 Illinois now faces a $802 million drop in projected tax revenue.
