@AndrewUphill @JohnDeere Your discount is not having to deal with parts ppl that know less than u about the product.
English
If you’re using an OEM App to order parts through your local dealer to pick up at your local dealership should you get a discount on the parts? Instead of spending an hour at the parts counter that parts person can service other customers. Incentive or rewards program maybe!

@Bkitch1Bodie You’re selling more bushels at higher test weight. That’s your premium.
English
We’ve average around 15% moisture an 61.2# TW coming out of bins. Which begs question, we get docked quickly for having low TW but why don’t we get a premium for 61+ pound test weight? Especially since every metric of this is technically number 1 yellow not #2 yellow dent

@FarmerTheta Also, what is the average age of farmers? Fairly old I would imagine. Probably a lot to do with the testosterone thing.
English
This explains why so many farmers operate solely for their ego:

@JLinvilleFert @tihoma Not a lot of grading going on with these projects around here. But, I think full shade underneath will degrade the topsoil. Developers here are required to post remediation bond, but I don’t see where that will keep up with inflation over 25 years
English
@tihoma I've wondered this myself. Do they clear the topsoil and sell it, making the ground poor? Is it just a matter of removing the concrete/panels/wiring?
English
Can this ground with the solar panels be used for anything involving crop production ever again?

ENTIRE SOLAR FARM DESTROYED in Wheatfield, Indiana after a strong tornado struck last night. Unfortunately, multiple house sustained significant damage here as well.

I can’t find a more perfect example of why alternative farming practices that reduce tractor time will catch on with the agricultural community.
This is the center of the bell curve and it is a majority of the acres.
It confuses NRCS/SWCD/Ag Econ folks.

@riley_sides @silvopasturist @47_biebs34428 I want 3 more tractor passes! Cuz I love tractor driving

@TxRecon1 @DiscountTire Sorry, driver needs to pay more attention, know the car. Could be tire place if it fell off first 10 miles or so, next day? Come on
English
Just heard back from @DiscountTire, and they are refusing to take any responsibility for my daughter's wheel falling off her vehicle on the highway after they rotated her tires.
Discount Tire is about to have a really bad time.
Attas@TxRecon1
So this happened to my daughter on her way back to Arkansas while driving on the interstate. She just had her tires rotated the day before. Lug bolts sheared off of her left front wheel. No one hurt, but a very scary situation.

how are the 6.6 gas chevy's holding up in the ag world?

Now add on having to buy family land that’s already been bought and paid for once (or more)

@Johnkempf @montebottens I have a dumb question;
On concave fields or sections of field, where does that soil go? No drain at the bottom. What about flat fields with no drainage? We got both, on field water storage cap. exceeding 100 yr event. Right out my office window.

How much soil loss is associated with 30 gal of E15? From @montebottens presentation at Burroughs Family Farms.

@SoybeanTrader88 Move price when every US consumer and Producer is sleeping and offices closed. Then lock it up all day in same 1-2 cent range.
Price manipulation? I’d say so.
Close the night sessions!!! Easy fix. Give it a trail run.

Zero price discovery in Ag markets during US trading hours. CME group has some explaining to do.

@DaveDejmal If corn hit $7, would you sell everything...or think there is a chance it goes to $8?!?!
English
@Bkitch1Bodie Why don’t you need both? We’re only really have chicken litter available, and it’s heavy P compared to N. So you’d really need to put the manure on to satisfy P req’s and add more N fer kern
English
Almost 1300 votes and overwhelmingly manure wins by a landslide.
So my question is why?
1132.2 votes of the 1258 said give me manure over synthetic.

If you’re a corn grower please vote based off following question If I had the ability to use manure vs synthetic fertilizers I would

@5150Farms @jmichael8430 Our dealer is getting used to converting them to the regular one that fancy stuff is garbage

Alright guys. Need some help. Finishing harvest the right spinner on our s780 was either shearing bolts or paddles were breaking completely off. Anyone have this happen before? No chopper knifes are broken but one was broke when the first paddle broke off. Thanks in advance

Unpopular opinion:
The $110,000/yr salaried worker with a good 9–5 job is better off than the 70 hour per week business owner barely earning $65,000/yr.
And it’s not even close.

@Iowacrops Delaware may be misleading, groups incorporate in DE because it’s cheap
English
Who own’s or backs RCK Properties out of Delaware? They are the 8 biggest farmland owner in Iowa at 14,500 acres. Hard to find out much about them.
English
I’m having an issue with a Coop that does my VRT fert on my soybean ground. They’re refusing to cut my p rates as much as I’m asking. I want zero on anything above 40 ppm and refusing to cut my max rate of 500 lbs of MAP to 300 lbs. they want a min rate of 100 on everything.
English
This isn’t a joke! A friend of mine was offered $70,000 an acre for her farm by a data center company. $11.2 million! This is what big tech is doing in Michigan.
