Interesting work from @Salin247 and Auburn University testing a diesel/electric autonomous 8-row planter in real field conditions.
That’s where this technology gets interesting — not demos, but actual performance, logistics, uptime, and agronomic results in the field.

Wealthy again? Finding 31 billion compared to the national debt is like finding $31 in your couch when you have $39,000 in credit card debt. And you spend more than you take home every month.

🚨BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP: They just found $31 billion! They said, 'Sir, we found $31 billion. We don't know why.' I said, is this a good or a bad find? This was a PLUS 31. We were used to finding negative 31 for the last 30 years. I said, 'check the TARIFF shelf.' Check it. He comes back 2 hours later - 'Sir, you were right. We have an additional $31 billion.' BILLION, not million, from tariffs. We're a WEALTHY nation again! Simple poll. Please be honest! As of today, how much do you still trust and support President Trump for everything he did? A. 100% B. 50% C. 25% D. 0% MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@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
English
@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)
English
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

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
English
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.
English
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

Cotton with same estimate and yields on top end of what was mentioned in video

@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.
English
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.

@OnTargetAg @ajw545 @591actual Draper dips are a good drought management tool. Varies the emergence 👍🏻
English
$10/ac projected profit on wheat. Not including machinery depreciation or any of that fun stuff.
Why do we grow this stupid crop?
English
@KernelKramer @ajw545 @591actual The age old argument: do you want beaver huts the size of your house or Draper dips. Simple as that!

If only I had a cool ear board. These things are monsters! This will be knocking on 300 at 22k population
English
@OnTargetAg Yes correct. And I apologize it’s not a nutrient. Energy source.
22,000# of sugar approximately to raise 280+/- bu corn
English
It takes 77.9# of this __________ nutrient to create a bushel of corn
What is it?
English
@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.
English
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.

@fultojp @AgLeaderTech 30k as economic optimum for 150? I did yield estimate north of that today at 12k population

This week's #precisionag lab focused on creating #corn and #soybean RXs in @AgLeaderTech SMS based on seeding response curves and yield maps. Next exercise will be incorporating advanced analytical techniques to create RXs - farm #DataIntel #agtech

@ajw545 Jeez were you chasing? Looks like it from the windshield

We golfed today. 2 families. 5 kids 10 or under. This needs to be a tournament. A pop for every kid with you under 10.

@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.
