@FarmerTheta Here is your chance to get long for the right money

@rhofford Power shift would be nice on high load high speed

U guys figure my 9400 would pull a 26ft protill?

@McNeilBJ @jakehodel @JohnDeere @JustinRoseDeere You can control the Acura Trak with the TH system

@jakehodel @JohnDeere @JustinRoseDeere We tried JD camera on an Accu Guide three years ago. Was terrible. Tillet and Hague on a Hatzenbichler sliding hitch has been way better so far IMO.

If @JohnDeere autotrac vision 2.0 camera is as good as they say it is, and if they make compatible with AIG it will be the best cultivator guidance system out there. Camera guidance with gps fall back is the way to go. Just need a better camera for smaller crops @JustinRoseDeere

@BantrySeedFarms I’ve never seen a sprayer blow over🤷🏿‍♀️

What’s the max wind that you’ll spray in ? Seems like a good topic today. #agtwitter

@Qrds1234 If it breaks your screwed, same as a belt feeder. If your skid steer quits go get another. The floor space savings doesn’t compensate for the depth of redundant loaders

Why is this type of setup non existent in the us?

@wingfieldfarms What meters are on your row units?

Finished relay soybeans within the WB9303 spring wheat. Great potential here.

@Mullin_95 Make it on a backpack with the trigger at the tip

Electric grease gun idea 6 tubes loaded up revolver style. Kowbois gonna look at this and go , why would you need 6 tubes at one time !? Don’t worry about it , you guys just keep doing your best

@Engineer_Farmer The must help getting the plant to survive a flood good idea

@CalebAkin2 Yes, it is on 60“ beds

#Corn update: this corn was completely submerged for at least 72 hours at V2. It was touch and go there for a bit. Now it is at V7. Is it perfect? No. Should we have replanted instead? Hell no!

I’m making things easier for Dad on the spray trailer

@jasonmauck1 @zebulousprime What?

@zebulousprime Sitting on the coffee table.

Alley crop corn behind David's feedlot. 4 20" corn rows at high edge row population 77k 47k 47k 77k 4 skips to grow a high biomass forage for David's cattle to enjoy post harvest. Precise movement of the hooves, teeth, spit, poo, and pee from collars from @Nofence_AS Check it out at our field day June 21

@Ndfarmgirl1 @McNeilBJ We pulled a cultipacker behind the plow (300 at 15ft 1x) and planted directly . Comparing these two strategies of switching heavy cover to cash crop which is less invasive? Is there a better way? Sure smoking is bad but is a light better than a red?

@Ndfarmgirl1 @McNeilBJ In case where there is a high biomass cover crop that needs to switch to a cash crop what is the best way? We tried a high speed disk, it took 3 passes (500hp on a 20ft machine) the soil was completely pulverized by the time plant material was fit to plant. We then tried a plow

Am I in Germany or South Dakota??

@MrBissell_917 And Canadian thistle

@BaumanFb Increase in intensity

Well this was a new one for me. IVT filter laughed at the filter wrench, air hammer, screwdriver & pry bar. So we had to resort to extraordinary measures

@ntibanekat @jasonmauck1 @KellyGarrett75 @DamianPMason That increases land cost on the planted acres, not a great option for me

@jasonmauck1 @KellyGarrett75 @DamianPMason If I may ask my dumb question for the day: why doesn't the us just plant less acres to lower supply?

I was watching @KellyGarrett75 with @DamianPMason talk about $4 corn in 2007 vs $4 corn in 2025 As he said corn yield wasn't that far off of today's ... and I remember some great 200+ bu farm avg years in that time. No matter how we spin it with hybrids and tech WATER and HEAT tell the story 90% of the time. Sure hybrids like 1197 came around and others that maybe squeezed a little more juice ... 10 ... 20 bu? but not nearly enough to cover the spread between $120 bag - $280 $250k combined- $800k and down the list. Every promise for 3-5 bushels comes with a price tag that requires a lot of acres to pay it off to even... and that's the trap. Want to build a big 100k bu bin? Do you want the sunk costs to be locked in to farm the # of acres for the years to come? We're going to have to become a lot more resourceful and it begins with cutting our ego. Lowering our costs to mirror the come. The work is cutting the high rent leases out, keeping equipment longer ... or maybe staying new... and going down a size or two and working more days or hours at night. We can't be yes men. We've got to be more like our stubborn grandparents that could squeeze that buffalo nickel.

@ksufearless Ilhe mfg out of slater ia?

@jasonmauck1 @jvin248 How about twin row on a ridge, run a stalk puller with set backs to clear each other ? Save the strip till challenge, controlled traffic would be excellent. Banding fertilizer would be a minor challenge

@jvin248 Twin rows have a problem with most systems You clean A row When you windrow further the residue becomes a problem for the depth control packer wheels TWIN wide needs a reboot in design

Is there a market for an intelligently designed TWIN 60" 🌽 system? 60" strip till = 1/2 HP 1/2 the units of everything Could be more aggressive with depth of tillage in zone + CC biomass simultaneously Bigger tires Manure integration More intensive continuous cropping It has been proven from many growers that a simple modification of 52"8"52"8"52"8" rows not only fills the yield gap from 30's but could provide an uptick with the right hybrids able to capture more light and CO2 in more of its leaves and roots Banding nutrients deeper in the soil WITH big Covers that stay alive a lot longer. This adds resilience and keeps soil in place. Video is at @zebulousprime plot this year where twin 60's outperformed 30's The plot was supposed to just compare 60's with 30's but we both knew static 60" rows will yield from 88-95% ... just like wide row cereals a slight modification to ensure root and plant spacing quickly narrows the gap while creating the bandwidth for more activities and synergies.

@gavin_spoor We built a couple extractors like this, not as nice as Blake Merritt’s but fast and cheaper

Went down a YouTube rabbit hole last night of farms using compost tea and compost extract in-furrow, and as foliar. Is there anyone doing this on a commercial scale? If you make it yourself it might cost $2-3/acre to produce? Seems like phenomenal ROI potential. I assume you’d want to keep your compost fairly locally sourced to get the right kind of microbes for your soil types? @zebulousprime @jasonmauck1
