@DozzzzzEric That’s the way Dozz. Have a good harvest! We might start in a week or two.

@dwlub_devin @clintwfischer Can you send me a link or some info on this? Didn’t know it was an option.
English
@clintwfischer As soon as 8th grade. Take out your first FSA livestock loan. Build your herd at ridiculous low interest rates. Graduate with property 15 head of cows paid for. Do whatever schooling or start farming. All with the backup of having a guaranteed yearly income.

If you're hoping for/planning on your kid to return to the farm & take over someday, what are you encouraging them to do after high school?
Trade school? 4 year degree? Stay on the farm? Go work somewhere else for awhile?
Curious what ag people think is the best path.
English
@ChetEdinger @clintwfischer Good point. And good advice to a dad like me!
English
@clintwfischer Don’t worry about the kid and their education. Prepare yourself. Be willing to let go and let them make some mistakes. I see way too many family operations where the old man won’t let go, and the kids won’t take an opportunity when their parent discourages it.

@lrofarmer @bl_ag_inc That’s pretty good advice. I’m always tempted to do it cheap, but man the payments and maintenance costs and late nights wrenching fall on me, not the guy getting cheap custom work.
English
@bl_ag_inc This was a topic of discussion today. I’ve got a neighbor (great guy) who custom farms as much as he himself farms but runs himself ragged and broke doing it to cheap. He and some of his customers want me to help him catch up but I won’t do it for what he’s been charging!

Hardest lesson to learn for most in agriculture
Busy ≠ profit

@bl_ag_inc I also think that’s an excuse for people to be lazy. Go to all the tee balls game you want but maybe try starting work before 7 in the morning, you ain’t doing anything at 4 am anyways. Then everyone wants to whine they can’t make any money, well maybe ya actually got to try.

I’ve had more frustration and anger towards sprayers over the years than any other piece of farm machinery 😡

Got a sos call from custom operator who wondered into a honey hole yesterday. After no success on their own they called us for help. This is the 3rd recovery we have done over the last 2 years
When you have the right equipment big jobs go easy. 3 hrs of set up one pull and no damage

Watching reruns of Dog the Bounty Hunter. This is the best reality tv I’ve seen in years

What would you do if you got out to fold your planter and… relieve your bladder in the field—- then look up and see a deer camera pointed right at you 10’ away? … 😬

@braunfarm Every time I work on Sunday, we created at least two major mechanical fubars that required all Monday to straighten out.
English
Anyone else have landlords that don’t like you working on a Sunday?

6 yrs ago a college friend passed away from cancer. We had a big friend network, and her’s was incredibly deep and wide. On her death bed she was taking guests. I used the excuse of there were better friends who should see her. 1/4

@KZarate1081 If u don’t brapp brapp the throttle why u even got a Harley. Get u a Suzuki otherwise
English
Why does everyone riding a Harley constantly “braap braap” the throttle? FOR NO REASON!!! That sound is more annoying than a talking liberal… I said what I said.

@Bkitch1Bodie @AaronOverholser it’s like you can’t not buy from him. I don’t even know what the price was

With the different philosophies in seed selling, how do you decide where/how you buy your seed?

I always put a 5 second squirt of dawn dish soap in when I’m spraying atrazine mixes and it seems to help keep the screens and nozzles cleaner.
Does anyone do this with every chemical mix they have, or only atrazine ones?
For instance today I’m running bean burndown with Authority MTZ - I’m not sure if it’ll help me just wanting to double check it won’t hurt me.
