@BradyD78 Variable rate Rx from 18.5k to 20.5k. 19.7k average.

Hey low pop mafia….how low can you go?

If you do custom farming or machine hire in Kansas, please consider filling out this survey. It's used by thousands every year to negotiate and establish custom rates, develop crop budgets, negotiate sharecrop and cash leases, and more! kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z…

@kyleplattner Anyway we can get land legals on the Op Center map. It helps to locate a new farm that needs a boundary.

This is why I choose to raise my family in Kansas 🙏🏻

@BartParks @ahorinek @rockormiston2 @luke_jaeger @mjaeger6 @AMillershaski Same thing on Deere sprayer. Tried calibration multiple times before replacing wheel angle and that was the fix.

@ahorinek @rockormiston2 @luke_jaeger @mjaeger6 @AMillershaski Same thing on a Case, was steering angle sensor

Lexion combine people. Have a 7500 with the Agra-GPS bridge to a g5 display. Steering is all over the place. G5 steering settings only help somewhat. Any ideas?

@ksmesonet How can we get one in Cloud?

🚨 New Mesonet! Today, we finished installing a mesonet 6 miles southwest of Larned in Pawnee County. #kswx

@GeezaColeman @danbloomer1 Where can I buy one?

Some awesome work from @danbloomer1 and team in New Zealand getting an ATV-mounted OWL sprayer going. Added a display/controller to solenoid nozzle activation.

@GeezaColeman @HarrisonSchust1 @ipaddockapps @KennethCassel Does it provide broadleaf in grass for pasture applications.

@HarrisonSchust1 @ipaddockapps @KennethCassel Fair point for standard products. Idea with OWL though is slightly different I guess, it can be built anywhere/parts hopefully as standard as they come. Pretty open on costs for parts at ~$400, so $750 per OWL I charge pays for assembly/software time/support for the project.

business idea: sell literally any industrial machine but put the price on your website

@GeezaColeman @AsphaltCowboy11 @JohnDeere @LandMarkImp @CormanWill For the residual/broadcast tank I will actually flip the SAS adapters to angle 40degrees forward and those are tp6503 which is SS flat fan just with a smaller orfice.

@GeezaColeman @AsphaltCowboy11 @JohnDeere @LandMarkImp @CormanWill We have a SAS ultimate. For Pre/Burndown we use Teejet tp6506 nozzles with a 40degree angle adapter. Here is a link to explain the adapters. heritagetractor.com/blog/New_See_&…

Finally getting a chance to share a video of @JohnDeere See & Spray in action from last week! @LandMarkImp @CormanWill

@GeezaColeman @AsphaltCowboy11 @JohnDeere @LandMarkImp @CormanWill The tp6506 is just a stainless steel flat fan orfice. The angled adapter is what changes the direction to allow for more time.

• If the farmer had a sprayer equipped with See and Spray then the weed pressure map can be overlayed in real time during the second pass. • Overlay a elevation map in real-time so when harvesting you can still see terraces even when the corn is 8ft tall.

How augmented reality helps heavy equipment operators. • Highlight field boundaries to avoid off-target application • Real time variable rate prescription overlays so we can see if our rate is changing properly to prescription.

Apple vision pro utilizes triple layered glass to so users can see the outside world but still can utilize sensors and display graphics. While the goggles look goofy this technology can make a huge impact for agriculture. THREAD.

@FoulkShay Interested

For farmers, ag businesses, ag banks, or just anyone planning for retirement/transition and needing a place to start. Message me or drop a comment and I'll email you this worksheet I built for budgeting for transition. I don't save your email and won't spam you. Often when I work on transition planning with family farms and businesses, I start by asking whether or not the senior or junior partners have met or work with a Certified Financial Planner. Usually the answer is 'no', but sometimes not. However, almost every time the senior partner does not have a clear picture on what their needs are as they move into the next chapter of transition, or retirement. Usually they think they will be ok, but until it is put on paper, there is still this massive fear or uncertainty about what they think is an 'unknown'- but it's pretty easy to navigate. This set of tools lays out the major areas of emphasis. 1. Knowing what your Cost of Living might be as you make changes in your life 2.Understanding a clear picture of your income and expenses as you move forward I built this tool to map out the next 50 years, so you can fill it out as the Junior partner as well. It also allows you to input variables such as investment growth, inflation, etc. This is mostly manual entry, but if you want to take it and add macros or other areas of interest, be my guest! I hope this helps a lot of people, and I'm open to improvements and critiques. Have a great day, and let me know if you need anything! #agx #agtwitter

2024 Predictions and Trends 🔮 1. There is a story in Soybeans, there isn't a story in Corn. Expect fireworks in Q1-Q3 🌱 2. A republican candidate will win the presidency in 2024, most likely Donald Trump, otherwise Vivek Ramaswamy. Implications for Ag and Energy are massive - do not sleep on this probability of either winning 🇺🇸 3. Continuation of new low carbon fuels programs at the state level will continue. What started in California has now taken over the West Coast. This will continue to spread east and give an outlet for Corn and Soybean based bio-fuels, even if miniscule changes occur at the federal level ♻️ 4. Bitcoin will trade north of $80,000 with the adoption of a physically backed ETF as well as daily supply issuance halvening (900 bitcoins - > 450 Bitcoins/day) 💰 5. The Federal Reserve will be forced to cut interest rates within the first several months of 2024, because "politics". The result will be inflation ticking up again, but mainly in financial and real assets at the expense of the Dollar💸 6. Traditional futures exchanges will continue to blur the line with crypto exchanges due to competitive nature. We've already seen some crypto exchanges cross-list traditional futures on their own exchanges that settle to traditional futures contracts, opening up additional capital to markets. This will continue to be the trend in 2024 and beyond (Investment = Buy Coinbase stock)💹 7. GrainStats🌾will continue to grow and provide the best Ag Market content on the internet. We will also launch premium services to support the best people in their journey of markets and agriculture that simultaneously save time and make money in a very fun and technological way 🤠

We're in a funny-money global economy. I don't know how it ends or when, but holding wealth in assets - especially farmground - seems wise at any price as inflation will help you pay it off. And if you lose it? Hey, you would of never had it had you not rolled the dice. Life is an adventure.

Corn or soybeans? 🤔 @jkholland89 breaks down which crop will be more profitable for the 2024 growing season. #ECornOmics farmprogress.com/commentary/wha…
