@Bkitch1Bodie If you look at gross revenue of corn or cotton that can be grown with the water needed for the project in the video it’s $1.7-2.9 mil annually to buy the acre so to speak. I bet that outfit wouldn’t blink an eye to write the check

@OnTargetAg So are you saying that you think irrigation goes away or limited further on water limits and only goes to dryland or Faith Based Irrigation (rain fed but more water then dryland status)

Water use will become more about the value it creates & ag will be in trouble Run the numbers 125 ac corn field 20 Inch Irr ~67.8M gal/year 2172 gal to grow $4.50 of corn Cotton ~51M gal/125 ac 913M gal =1681 corn acres or 2241 cotton acres Economics don’t support ag Cont⬇️

A massive 18 million square foot data center is being planned north of Amarillo Texas along with a nuclear power plant to power it Cotton farmer says the Texas panhandle is the largest US cotton producing region and the water needs of the data center will wipe out the industry Many residents in the area rely on well water too which will be likely wiped out The initial agreement with the City of Amarillo supplies 2.5 million gallons per day from municipal sources under a 20-year contract They can use 912.5 million gallons of water per year This will be devastating to the people who live there and rely on this water

I say all this not to make a case for data center or some other outside use but to get ag producers thinking about the topic before it’s too late. The fight over water has only begun I’m afraid.

If data centers look bad wait until cities need more water. Bottle up what it takes to grow one circle of corn per year and sell it at $8-$10 a gallon in gas station and what is it worth compared to the commodity grown? I’m afraid the people have to eat argument only goes so far

@Bkitch1Bodie The thing about Weoc I learned is it’s always in flux it’s not a pH or OM number that is much more stable. I pulled hundreds year to year same locations to monitor and they would move 50-100% up or down with no management changes. Just a cycle.

The most important metric on a soil test to look at to determine your fertility efficiency is Weoc. Our Weoc levels on our farm are up 85% from 7 years ago when I pulled my first Indicator Complete Soil Test. My nutrient efficiency just continues to get better as it improves.

$10/ac projected profit on wheat. Not including machinery depreciation or any of that fun stuff. Why do we grow this stupid crop?

@OnTargetAg Yes correct. And I apologize it’s not a nutrient. Energy source. 22,000# of sugar approximately to raise 280+/- bu corn

@blakeahadley @Agronomy365 You can have the most comprehensive soil test imaginable and if you’re zones are shit it’s worthless data. Just sayin it goes both ways.

Management Zones Your zones are only as good as the soil test used. You can have the best zones in the world, but if your test only measures the chemical side of the soil (Bray, Olsen, AA, Mehlich), you’ll keep chasing ppm values that don’t tell the whole story. You will just be managing numbers, not the system. The field changes. The biology changes. The chemistry changes. Your soil test should reflect all three. That’s why Baseline Rx starts by asking the soil what it can actually provide. Doing this allows for nutrient efficiency and getting more out of every fertility dollar spent.

Weather app this morning on rain chances for tomorrow 70% chance Min 0.25” - Max 2.06” - Likely 0.18” Cover all the bases and you’re never wrong I guess

@ksufearless I’m betting you’re on the 6 oz status bandwagon in corn too… Truth is nothing is killing them once they are over 4-6 inches proof is in stubble fields where you can run as hot a mix as you can dream up or afford.

You can do everything right the first 60% of the season and if you let your foot off the gas for a minute, decide it’s good enough and not take outside advice late you’re in for an unwelcome surprise come harvest. #spidermite
