@clintwfischer @LouieDN im very leery of anything to do with life insurance. scummy companies with contracts written for them. very real possibility of paying more than the policy is worth if people live a long time

@LouieDN It's not the daughter raising a fuss... it's the disagreement of the spouses on fair vs. equal Is the return on life insurance worth it just to leave an inheritance? Or should those premium dollars be spent invested off-farm to provide an inheritance for the off-farm kid?

Farm transition I'm helping with: Husband has the hard & fast mentality that: Son helps on the farm so he should get everything. Wife takes the approach of "let's be equal/fair" regarding $$ value. → 2 kids; one Son and one Daughter We're talking $15 million in land, equipment, & livestock going to the on-farm Son. And $500,000 in retirement & $500,000 in life insurance going to the off-farm Daughter. That $14 million imbalance is what the wife is concerned about. There's a solution that may make both H & W satisfied: 1) Property into a trust 2) Machinery & livestock left to on-farm Son 3) Retirement & life insurance left to off-farm Daughter 4) Trust grants right of first refusal (ROFR) to rent & ROFR + option to buy land at a discount to on-farm Son. Until both H & W pass away, all income goes to them. When either H or W passes away, the other spouse gets all income. When the last spouse passes away... -Son gets the machinery & livestock -Daughter gets the IRA & life insurance -Both are beneficiaries of the land income, but Son has ROFR & option protections to keep the farm going Instead of $15 million to Son and $1 million to Daughter, it's more evenly distributed with safeguards in place to keep the farm operation in the family & financially viable. Without prior planning, exactly zero of this would happen. In fact, the farm may be sold at auction to the highest bidder. So, it begs the question... Have you started tackling this succession, transition, estate issue?

@SE_ResearchFarm where do i sign up?

If you harvested Peaola (Pea canola) this year, you could be eligible for a PepsiCo regen ag payment.

@garrett_wolf3 @lazymbarranch what tires on your ram. i have nokians on my truck and wifes edge. both are tanks in the winter. farm trucks with all seasons can be scetchy

@lazymbarranch Drift, like real drifts, are when trucks start to be better. 99% of the time I’d take the Mazda 3 over my F350 welding truck with a ton of weight in the box. Cavalier would go through anything. Ram 1500 wasn’t great on winter roads.

Unpopular opinion, I’d take a front wheel drive car with winter tires over a pickup on winter roads any day.

🌱🚜 Inspiring insights from Blair Kuefler at BBK Farms on the revolutionary PEA-OLA blend (PEA/Canola)!🌾🏈 Incredible crops and knowledge shared at our Tailgate seminar. @BBK_Farms @RDARAlberta

@LowBoomLowDrift @TaurusAgTeam my tote of active build didnt even come with any nipple this year. Just a 2” screw fitting. Cue cussing and having to find parts to convert to a 2” banjo nipple, so i could use the adapter built previously for their totes to use my 1” nipples on my chembine. Silly

Hey chem companies. All totes should come with banjo cam locks. Stop selling them with the weird black and green connector.

@Stuthefarmer Treating it like sports. Live and die by their “party”. That mentality allows parties to drop promises to longstanding ridings with no fear of losing votes. Quebec has it right. They vote for whoever promises the most, and switch teams if they dont get it

My totally unscientific theory about elections: 50% of those vote just vote for whoever they always voted for. 25% vote for who they believe everyone else is voting for. 10% have no idea who they’re voting for and check a random box. 15% actually thought about it.

@AllamFarmer @dylanrobinson27 @TSmith1867 Because he isnt trading in after a single season……..

Wash your fertilizer augers.

@Mullin_95 Just bought 2013 model. No roof. 72” deck. 666 hours, really clean. 16.5k from a dealer serviced ready to go. Equivalent new model is around 35k

What’s something like this worth to buy private if anyone was to guess ? No specs and no help from google

@landon707 @RonKrahn @bigbushelsag

@RonKrahn @bigbushelsag

@EXNH3__guy @bigkev232 @Kotyjo Lets give Ukraine all our outdated planes and tanks. Then we can build new, better, fancy fucking tanks and planes. It will be trillions of dollars invested into American pockets

Why?

@steeves11 Thats a pretty good price, but im gonna hold out for more……..

That’s $155/bushel!

@GrrlScientist @MarkusNash4 @ClimateHuman How do you figure that? More c02 absolutely will provide greater biomass growth. Nitrogen and phos are mostly brought up through the soil. Their availability has little to do with atmospheric c02

@MarkusNash4 @ClimateHuman uuumm, except not really! more CO2 means less nitrogen and phosphorus and that means increasingly sickly trees

A sickening photo. We know not what we do

@windypopfarm You running with std or hi-flow hydraulics? Nice machine

Bigger skid steer showed up and they wanted to demo the blower. I guess we'll need to buy a blower now.

@SolickSeeds @skellerfarms I mean, all seed looks good once its pink right.

@skellerfarms So I've been lying to my customers and myself all theses years...

I still cant believe time and money was wasted on this project.

@larsonfarmsND @Josh78719519 Naw man, pull up and offer to help shovel……..into my truck

@Josh78719519 Did you pull up, point and laugh??

Didn’t know swift was into hauling fertilizer

@Stuthefarmer Seems a bunch of hunters cant hit anything without their truck either

Happy First Day of Reckless-Firearm-Use-and-Disregard-for-Both-People-and-Wildlife Season!

@BenoitFamFarm Ya i have that probelm with my iphone. Dust and dirt from our job really plugg everything up it seems. I hate iphone charging port.

@BBK_Farms Many people complain that my voice goes in and out when talking, and the volume on my end is pathetic with any kind of background noise. I have to use headphones or speakerphone all the time. But yea, rural infrastructure is sucky.

So for all the rural Alberta folk, who makes a phone with the best phone service? Don’t care much about the camera or apps, but the actual phone. On Telus currently, and not liking the last several iPhones I’ve had (XR currently).
