@NickHorob Next time your out this way, let me know and maybe can have a cold adult beverage and shoot the breeze

After my dad died last fall, my sister and I inherited a few quarters of farmland in NW North Dakota. My cousin has been farming it for decades and asked me if we were interested in selling. I told him we weren't and then I made a deal to buy my sister's half at a fair price. My cousin came back to me and offered me a more-than-fair price. Rather than shortchange my sister, I decided to keep 80 acres and we are going to sell the rest to him. One of the reasons I decided to sell is that this land sits within a 2,000-acre field of his. If I was ever going to do anything with the land myself, it would create a fair amount of tension and it would logistically be a pain in the butt for him. But me spending time back home this fall made me realize that I want to spend more time out there with my boys than I have over the last decade. So I bought a little farm 7-8 miles straight east of my dad’s farm just across the border into Montana and it turns out this farm has some world-class pheasant hunting. I think I might have to build a little lodge out there and host some Fullstack Ag work and play meetings!

@TheLastField Plains transport out of Culbertson MT has moved a ton of drills from the Dakotas to Washington, Oregon and down south to the southern plains. PM me and I can get you his number if interested

Looking for suggestions for a good company to transport an air seeder from eastern Montana to Idaho. Any of you guys out there have good or bad companies that you’d recommend or that I should stay away from?

@NickHorob Can see the yard from my front window!!!

So I wanted to create a high-resolution topo map of our family farm. I downloaded the free Lidar data from the state of ND. But then QGIS, a free GIS software, says their software for Mac is out-of-date. I look at ArcGIS and it’s $700/yr. Which I’d normally be fine with but I don’t really have many ongoing uses for it. I’m sure I could do more research and find another tool out there but I then remember Upwork, where I have hired 100+ people over the years to do various tasks. $10 gets the job done! (he’s getting me a new map with better labels) I’m sure many of you have contractors or people you’ve worked with that can do stuff like this for you. But I really appreciate the timely nature of Upwork and it’s huge marketplace.

@SaueressigKim Thanks Kim I will check it out

@ArnsonSam Or possibly a bad ground

2015 1890 with a 1910 500 bu cart on a case 620 quad trac. Anyone know where to start with these codes? Yes I’ve check all connections. RT’s appreciated

@ndpulsefarmer Separate harness iso harness

@CHill_Agronomy Yea we both need to see a barber soon

@ArnsonSam Man look at your hair

New boss man had to come out this evening and check on things

@larsonfarmsND @runningbehind77 @NDfarmer81 Just had that green kenworth of mine done. It’s a less than ideal time of year to have trucks down and I hear Charlie has one ready for a rebuild now

My truck should be coming out of the shop soon. First start on an inframe. Made it to 1.14 @runningbehind77 @NDfarmer81

@CooperOwen @NickHorob Thank you sir for the insight!

@ArnsonSam @NickHorob Your state secretary may need to approve, but a municipality can make just about any demands of a developer they want. Obviously, there's some poker strategy in choosing what to ask for, but issuing bonds shouldn't be any different than typical site/operations requirements.

Does anyone out in X(twitterland) know if townships are able to request bonds from major companies before any major development starts within the area? Retweets appreciated!

@ndrockfarmer Guess they let everyone park downtown

Parkings tight in Denver !!!

@NickHorob Being here around it isn’t great. The construction is terrible and the people they hire are some of the most rude, unfriendly a-holes I’ve seen around here. It was hard to watch beautiful farm land get turned into this.

This power plant is 6-7 miles away from my family farm in NW ND. It’s bringing 500 MW of power online this year, enough to power a few mega AI inference data centers (using Groq LPU’s). (The power is likely mostly spoken for but that’s a huge and valuable amount of energy) This level of compute could generate a few billion $ of free cash flow per year. The Miller’s across the road are my cousins….might be time to do some networking in the AI/data center industry!

@bigwehrm Heard of a $20.65 picked up AOG a couple weeks ago otherwise haven’t heard much

Anyone in ND seeing any attractive new crop 25 sunflower contracts out there? Or just grow em and hope fall of 25 brings better prices?

@blonglet I shipped all of mine there a couple weeks ago. Some loads there was a premium and other loads there wasn’t. First year growing flowers so still learning the system

Anyone hauling sunflowers to Cargill in west Fargo having issues with low oil tests? NDGI retested several of our loads and there was 3.6% difference in oil content. Over $800/load in premium difference. 6 loads have been retested over a 3 month span and NDGI has always come back higher DM me if you are having the same issues

@AustinSundeen I will see what I come up with. If I don’t find anything, I’ll be reaching out. Thanks Austin

@ArnsonSam Park River, I disked one years back, it can be for sale if your looking for parts

Hey does anyone know where to get parts for an old Krause disk? Looking for the disk gang c-springs. Thanks. RT’s Appreciated

@PKanning Thanks Paul

@ArnsonSam I'd try Pete's tractor salvage in Anamoose. They might not have it but they'll know who does

@larsonfarmsND Thanksgiving in the combine!!! No I’ll desiccate them way before that!

@ArnsonSam You just want to be cutting them during Thanksgiving

Trying some #sunflowers for the first time. Should be a fun summer
