It's so windy in Southern Iowa that I'm shocked I don't have a tub grinder scheduled to be here. The feed "shrink" wouldn't be a phantom loss today

@Ck27126422 Been trickling old crop for about 45 days, feed the bull, reward the up market type sales.

@DanAllred1 I heard that. Absolutely mess and widespread damage or how did it turn out? Would have been a battle I'd think.

Just got back home from getting the hell out of here becasue of a large fire at a propane/petroleum plant in the northwest part of Corydon. They evacuated 3 blocks. Could see large flames and hear relief valves squealing. Brough back some trauma to my mind from our 2019 shed fire

@agtradertalk Scoopin the loop. Around the town square, mile and a half west, drive through Hardee's parking lot, turn right go back to the square, loop around again and again. Occasionally take the inside lanes of the square to chat.

A simpler time, we would drive laps and laps around town. Just burning money to kill time. From the grocery store to the park, back and forth, back and forth

Sometimes I think about how gas was just above a dollar a gallon when I was a Senior in high school.

Goliath forage oats, seeded at 100#/acre
$32/acre in seed cost
Jerod McDaniel@JerodMcDaniel
We have forage oats emergence! This corn field made ~250 last year, and it’s where we grazed all of our bred heifers right up until they started calving. One pass wi the a coulter chisel and then a disk, the seeded. Planted a couple days before Valentine’s Day, watered twice.

@DryCedarFarms Always figured club calves should be taken care of by the one in the club.

got messaged on the bookface about taking care of some club calves.
think I'll pass.
seems horse like bad situation type deal.

Nightmares are dreams to. Better get the 190XT hitched to the Roto-Baler to complete the ensemble.

Anybody know where a scrap Massey Ferguson 750 or 850 is sitting? Need a final drive

@CBKimbrell Any independent chicken producers to pay into a check-off? Still mostly individual cattlemen paying into a check-off "for our own good" yet most feel there is no value received in the producers best interest. The idea is good, but sure doesn't feel like its helping the intended.
English
It occurred to me that contrary to cattle, meat chicken doesn’t have a checkoff. Per capita chicken consumption has been steadily increasing while US beef consumption has slowly declined from almost 80 lbs per capita in 1986 (inception of checkoff) to less than 60 lbs today. They claim I’m getting a big return on my checkoff dollars, but the facts say otherwise.

Considering the number of guys drinking $14 beers while walking around a farm show, I'd question how bad some are struggling financially.

@_TheMizzouTiger 41k on 5 years, no interest. It'll have to run several acres.
English
@_TheMizzouTiger What is the $$ per acre a guy uses to justify how much to spend on a head? The cart to carry that head would cost more than my entire harvest machinery line would bring at auction, I'd guess.

@Farm4ProfitLLC @leo_nels Usable pasture ground sit idle. Some owners only show up one week a year. That does not help rural Iowa towns, doesn't control the deer population.
English
@Farm4ProfitLLC @leo_nels Not sure. It is a beef producer issue in far South Central Iowa for sure. Don't want to be mandated by government how to use private land, either. CRP doesn't help the situation. Just a lot of "fun" money out there available to chase deer and harvest 1 or 2, and made a lot of

Are hunters the ones pushing the land prices in Iowa???

@Farm4ProfitLLC @leo_nels Then after a couple years, question why they don't see deer like they did. Typically, not neighborly people either.
Probably 2500 acres swallowed up very close to me, hunting only. Does not help rural communities.
English
@Farm4ProfitLLC @leo_nels For some reason the majority of hunters think cow and deer can't coexist anymore. And they worry deer won't flow in if the fence is tight, can't have food plots cause cows will eat it. They buy a cow farm after seeing all the deer, & then change the farm to attract deer.

@Chris1009 @MasonMayer26 Chop ice? I didn't figure you had deal with that sort of troubles in your neighborhood, that's bottom two tier of county type stuff!

@MasonMayer26 20 yr old girl, I almost made her chop ice but she wasn’t dressed for it

Literally a cold call salesman on the coldest day of the year while I’m feeding. That’s going to be a tough sale
