Corn yield gains in the U.S. are no longer tied to higher plant densities. 🌽 Recent genetic progress is driven by increased yield per plant—not improved crowding tolerance—highlighting a clear decoupling between yield and plant density. Full article: doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.…

@Dusty3080467325 Sounds like a threat that they better be willing to back up. Shouldn’t be a problem for you or your customers I wouldn’t think.

I have customers being threatened by seed executives that if they buy seed corn from me next year they won’t be given access to buy their products in 2027 …….. Read and reread this …… Noted BigAgSeed

@Vikeologist Purple and black look awesome together.

Why are people so damn obsessed with wanting the Vikings to have a black uniform? Everyone does black uniforms now. I just don't see the fascination with it.

@ChuckGrassley Chuck, the commodity price has very little to do with food price.

CNN just reported secretary of agriculture said White House is working to get food prices down THE FASTEST WAY IS TO TAKE TARIFF OF FERTILIZER FARMERS NEED TO HARVEST AN ABUNDANT CROP Tariffs must go

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Friday that a bailout and other fixes under consideration for farmers struggling because of the fertilizer shortage sparked by the joint U.S.-Israel war against Iran. trib.al/jcwDsgE

@VikingNations Absolutely

Would you like to see a full BLACKOUT era in Minnesota? ⚫️🟣 The Valhalla Blackout concept for the Minnesota Vikings brings matte black helmets, purple chrome horns, and primetime dominance under the lights. Blackout. Purple. Domination. Is it time for Minnesota to unleash it

@us_connie @DanAllred1 Stop

Describe this photo in one word

@AgDaddy63 It’s usually more likely in the fringe areas. Big shifts, but less impact.

Be honest. Do you know a single person switching rotations because of costs? I don't

@DirtTurner So you’re saying there’s a need for seed corn caps with a draw string?

You know that scene from Cast Away where Tom Hanks finally gets off the island but the portable toilet he uses for a sail gets blasted away in milliseconds by a gust of wind? That was my seed corn cap this morning. Didn't even bother chasing it.

@ChuckGrassley Fix the real problem that the government created. This bill only makes it worse.

High housing costs price homebuyers out of mrkt 2day the Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD 2 Housing Act w a BIG bipartisan vote It overhauls fed housing policy+boosts AFFORDABILITY Also cuts red tape unlocks housing supply& lowers costs 4 families incl in RURAL AMERICA

@seedcattleguy Didn’t the legislature regulate increasing rates a few years back? That sure didn’t stop property taxes going up.

You won’t have authority to do that with property taxes. They’re levied by counties and you’ll need to get counties to turn their authority over to you to do as you say

Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, has a $10 plaque behind his desk that reads: "If we're all going to eat, someone has to sell." Of all the things this man could surround himself with, he chose a cheap plaque with a blunt truth about business. "You're always selling. You're selling to candidates. You're selling to vendors, you're selling to counterparties, you're selling to customers." And if you're always selling, you know what you're going to hear a lot of? "No." Griffin doesn't sugarcoat it. He tells two stories that illustrate just how brutal rejection can be. 1994 was a rough year, with Citadel losing ~4% of its capital. Griffin flew to Switzerland for a crucial lunch meeting, sat down, and his guest arrived only to say: "Oh, I thought you were John Griffin from Fen Church. I got to go." His lunch date got up and left the table. Later that afternoon, a Swiss banker spent 45 minutes with him in a beautiful office, smoking a cigar, before closing with: "Such a pity that such a bright young man picked the wrong career." Two rejections in one day for the founder of one of the most successful hedge funds in history — and his takeaway was simply this: "You just have to tolerate. You're going to hear no a lot, but you need to become accustomed to having to market your ideas and market what you represent and what you stand for." Absorbing rejection and continuing anyway is the actual skill, whether you're hiring, raising capital, or winning customers. Most people avoid selling because they're afraid of no. The ones who build great things have learned to expect it.

@DirtTurner Glad he’s home.

Got what we came for

@DirtTurner Any tips? Got a package to send myself.

Amazon package on my front step for my son who had been deployed to Syria for most of the last nine months. Mountain Dew and Reign Energy went from Bondurant, IA, a third of the way around the world, and back to my front door because they missed him. And got here before he did.
