@Ricky_Rivets @DuaneLowry I am thankful to have been raised by my father/farmer that was unwilling to make this compromise.

@DuaneLowry Farmers noticeably absent from church this morning.

@4norsemen @Sachinettiyil Those two words are not interchangeable.

@Sachinettiyil Why not say, Christian? Who cares if he's Catholic?

Fernando Mendoza, the Catholic quarterback projected by some analysts as a potential top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, will not attend the event in person. Instead, he is choosing to remain at home with his family. The decision is said to be motivated by his mother’s ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis, with Mendoza preferring to share the moment with her in Florida rather than travel for the draft celebration.

@MisterCommodity That presumes they have soybeans left to sell.

Average price for soybeans across the United States is $1.10 higher than it was this time last year. But I was told soybean farmers going broke?

iPhone 13 versus 17 Pro. No contest.

@JeffNadu If Ben McCollum is being discussed as a possibility at UNC, can you imagine how many recruits and portal guys are now hoping to play for this guy at Iowa?

Imagine thinking if UNC called he’d be loyal to fuckin Iowa. It’s North Carolina you complete imbecile

The last two coaches to lead Iowa to the Elite 8. ❤️❤️

@_TheMizzouTiger 20 years ago I sold GRIP. A coverage where an indemnity was triggered by the county numbers. It was shunned and refused for this fact. Now with ECO I continue to see farmers claiming to have their "costs" covered with ECO and SCO. What changed?

I can insure $850/ac of revenue for $30. This is nuts. Like stupid. My input COP is $270ish/ac. That’s inputs only. But still. Wowza.

They swing BESR bats at that event.

Open to suggestions here. Not having great luck with Goodyear all terrain tires. They start chopping every other lug at 20k and are unbearably noisy by 30k and far from worn out.

@MaxROIFarmer Start his own business. Ask Chat GPT for training for the specific type of carpentry he wants to do.

Tradesman, I may have inadvertently discovered a possible career path for my 15 year old. Discovered yesterday he has invested hours in a carpentry/home improvement game. Outside of having him help with projects what should I have him look into? Carpenters union have a training facility?

@Nick_Rolland @jasonwhitlock Hey she got you watching a highlight reel of woman’s basketball so I’d score that Audi 1/Nick 0. You can’t stop her! Literally.

@jasonwhitlock Best highlight reel and display of athleticism I’ve seen since Mike’s rookie year.

Future face of the WNBA.

@BenRand10 Ford F150 with 5.0 motor with Blue Cruise hands free driving option. I am amazed how much driving fatigue is reduced with hands free on long hauls. Buy and thank me at 250,000 miles.

Is there a new pickup that has the ability to put on problem free massive mileage?

Snow plow time

@JerodMcDaniel It wasn’t a hedge if you lifted it. Hedged come off when you sell the underlying commodity.

Don’t say the cattle market didn’t give ya ample opportunities to lift ya hedges…

@elonmusknews30 👍

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know: Farmers don’t have time for conspiracy theories. Romanticize farming all you want, but without modern tools, you’d starve. GM crops aren't frankenfood. They cut pesticide use, resist drought, and improve yields, all while passing some of the strictest safety checks in science. They are the least unknown crops. Your food is safe. Period. Pesticides are tested more rigorously than most medicines. Farming isn’t killing the planet. Modern farming uses less land, less water, and fewer inputs than ever before. Innovation is the solution, not the problem. Organic farming still use pesticides. Some are more toxic and less effective than synthetic alternatives, meaning higher doses are needed. If you really care about feeding the world and protecting the planet, focus on facts, not fear. My name is Simon and my goal is to make people smarter, not angrier. Drop a “Hi” in the comments and let me know if you have any questions about Ag!

@BenRand10 @cameron_korth My PRF week ended last week at 3,000 miles and 47 hours of seat time.

Shoulda been a #bullhauler for @cameron_korth

@BarstoolUIowa I switched to Fubo.

This ESPN deal really fucking sucks
