Am I the only one who hoards 5 gallon buckets? Will you stop to get a good one out of the ditch? Asking for a friend……

We got some rain this morning, not a lot 0.25”, but that brings our year up to 0.50”. And it’s foggy and misty tonight. Haven’t had that in a long time. 🤞

@kowalchukfarms1 Actually the ingredient that is assumed caused most of the cancer from Agent Orange is 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), which was never licensed and was a contaminant.

2,4,5-T was the main chemical used in the defoliant Agent orange that was sprayed directly on soldiers It’s common knowledge that it has been banned for over 40 years for Ag use in North America Comparing it to what we currently use is pure click bait and misinformation

Dad died of non-hodgkins lymphoma 27 years ago. The VA admitted it was 💯 from Agent Orange… yet we still spray this crap on our food. I felt like vomiting when I landed in DC today. Why the hell can’t we drain the swamp??

Alright 3pt planter people. I’ve never planted with one. I don’t need the lift assist on the 8420. My question is leave them on with floating top link, or take off and fix the top link and set it and forget it? #plant26

Ah, spring in Nebraska. Currently 85° and a Freeze Watch was just issued, to start after the Red Flag Warning expires.

@CBKimbrell I rented mine to a farmer B/C. Half up front is standard here, I asked for less than I could have gotten elsewhere.

I won’t make any decisions based on this a poll, but just curious: If you were a landlord and could rent to? A: a well established farmer that is financially sound and pays all rent in cash up front, and often helps you find good deals. B: a middle aged farmer that has a small but capable operation and reliably pays upfront, or C: a young farmer who can’t pay as much rent (15% less) and probably can’t pay that upfront. Which would you choose?

@FVCJeffW @DDFalpha Here I think every pivot has gone around at least once, several have gone around several times.

@DDFalpha I checked several management styles around Grant this morning and it tracks well for what I found. Sadly pivots are running to get decent planting conditions and the dryland acres are not good.

The family enjoyed a night out at the Lexington Community Foundation Key fund raiser. A great time was had by all. And we all bought something as well.

BREAKING: Hearing of another wildfire breaking out in western Nebraska in Grant County. Due to a fast moving wildfire, the Grant County Sheriff is calling for the immediate evacuation of the village of Hyannis and Ashby.

@anthony_schutz At least we have money to incentivize change. Hopefully get farmers to think. This would be a great year to trim nitrogen fertilizer.

🚨If you’ve been seeing posts about a “million-acre fire burning right now” in Nebraska… slow down and get the facts. Yes… there were massive wildfires. Multiple fires across western Nebraska burned a combined 800,000+ acres… which is significant by any standard. Ranch land was hit hard… cattle losses are real… and families out there are dealing with damage that doesn’t just bounce back overnight. But here’s where things stand right now… The largest fires are largely contained. We’re talking 90–98% containment on the major ones. That means: They are not ripping across the state anymore… They are not expanding at that same dangerous pace… Crews are in control, monitoring hotspots and securing lines. So no… there is not currently a single, out-of-control fire the size of Rhode Island burning unchecked across Nebraska. What is true is this… The damage is already done in many areas. Grazing land is gone. Some ranchers took real losses. Recovery is going to take time. And because it’s rural… because it’s farmland… because it’s not a major city… It doesn’t stay at the top of the national news cycle. That’s the reality. Not hidden… not ignored… Just no longer an active, escalating crisis. Keep Nebraska in your prayers… because even when the fire is contained… the rebuilding is just getting started. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove
