@kyledecorte @gdove10 @JohnNooyen1 $12.50. Sign me up

@gdove10 @JohnNooyen1 I think he means $50/ac on total combined acres in the machines lifespan . So not 12.50. That would be super cheap

Can someone who is a John Deere lover why it costs at least 50 dollars an acre to trade my 19 model tell me I may change or get someone to combine my 2000 acres maybe that’s why I’m changing to NH

@PhantomFinger1 You’re not wrong. It’s a decision everyone has to make. As I said below, I wouldn’t personally do it. I just don’t want to take the right away from them.

@RoseFarms01 Hey they can do what they want, but they know full well the price for being bad neighbours like that. Reap what you sow. Hopefully the extra money is worth betraying your life long neighbours for.

Farmers are all, “make a level playing field/ competition is good/ I can farm the way I want, it’s my land/ you’re not going to tell me……… UNTIL THE NEIGHBOR WANTS TO MAKE MONEY OFF SOLAR PANELS. 🤔

@schuelkecorn @BlaseFarms Not flat. Put 1000 on 235 rear duals no front and just play hanky panky. No problems.

@BlaseFarms If the cart is on tracks I wouldn't be scared to put 1200 bu on a smaller tractor like that. Neighbor has had a 1300 on a 250ish Mag for years that way. Granted we're flat as a pool table here.

Looking at upgrading grain carts next year. What is the biggest cart you would put on a 225hp tractor? Would be nice to go to a 1000 bu but not sure if it is a bad idea

@PhantomFinger1 Please see attached. I personally wouldn’t sign up my farm. Not an acre, and that’s the gods honest truth. I would also not be scolding my neighbor for it nor would it affect our relationship. They do what’s right for them, me too.

@RoseFarms01 Well hopefully your farm gets surrounded by solar farms and we can test that forgiving attitude of yours.

@PhantomFinger1 It’s their land. If you don’t like it, buy it.

@RoseFarms01 Any farmer that does that is a traitor and deserves the criticism. You don’t destroy good farmland and then call yourself a farmer after. Sell outs

@LPofDelaware There should be cameras in all classrooms just like the police have to wear body cams.

@HowFarmsWork @markjthomas87 To be fair, I also agree that there are better suited places for the panels. Building tops, cities, etc. However the market suggests I’m wrong in that. To be very honest, I think they are trash subsidized green energy jargon. But that’s not the argument here.

@HowFarmsWork @markjthomas87 Your/our arable land is no more important than the money that’s used to make it valuable. If agriculture i deemed highest bidder by the market then so be it. If it is not, well then…

@HowFarmsWork @markjthomas87 It’s not your farmland to protect. It’s the owners. Don’t think you’re protecting something when we have an over abundance of arable land in the US and food waste is at an all time high. Farming/owning land isn’t for our feelings and nostalgia. It’s business.

@RoseFarms01 @markjthomas87 I’m not making that decision. I’m fighting for the protection of farmland from development. These panels can easily go in dual-use locations instead. All mass-scale solar is doing is driving up the cost of electricity and food.

@HowFarmsWork @markjthomas87 Looking forward, as we allow the landowner to have less rights and make this a common practice, what are we opening ourselves in the ag sector up to? There are now two solar farms in my area. There is absolutely land I can no longer rent or buy. So I am also affected.

@HowFarmsWork @markjthomas87 Well-being. You shouldn’t be able to make that decision for the widow or family farm next door.

@TaylorTom @JonProchnow Don’t smoke cigarettes or drink bourbon. And don’t tell your neighbor what they can do, my friend.

@Suzanne75512342 I’m not advocating for the efficiency. I’m advocating that you don’t get to tell your neighbor what to do. Landowners rights needs to be put at the forefront.

@HowFarmsWork @markjthomas87 Buy the land and you get to decide! It’s simple!

@markjthomas87 @RoseFarms01 That was ours too, and that’s why we didn’t sign up for it when they were harassing and threatening us with easements if we didn’t do it.

I want to clarify bc this might have been misconstrued…you have no right to tell your neighbor what to do with his/her land. You cannot say I want a free market and then complain when your neighbor wants to cash in. If you don’t like looking at them, buy their land. It’s 4 sale.

@BowersJett How deep is the well and how hot is it out? Is well also supplying other things?

What is the going rate for water? In this situation, renting the use of a well for watering cattle. Let’s say 15-20 head. What’s it worth? #AgTwitter

@GoddessofGrain In all honesty, does the Michigan corn crop really matter?

starting to wonder if folks are really underestimating the Michigan corn crop as a whole....

@ccpennington96 @gavin_spoor Can you see any dirt when you are out working the stalks with a GP?

@gavin_spoor We run a Great Plains turbo max and love it. Gang adjusts and we do what your wanting to do with it. In the spring we run over anhydrous tracks and smooth up right in front of the planter and in the fall we incorporate cover crops and work stalks with ours. Love the tool!

Anybody on #AgTwitter ever ran a Great Plains turbo chopper? Pros/cons? Thanks
