Just don’t call it a case

April showers don't go to waste! Tailwater recovery ponds allow us to capture and reuse storm water (and irrigation) runoff which decreases our groundwater pumping for crop irrigation. This is just another way we actively try to #conserve #water on our farm each year. #SoyOnWater

Precision ag helps us make better and more timely decisions by providing us providing a constant stream of data in present time. Long gone are the days where you wait until the end of the year to determine each field’s productivity. #Harvest21 #combine #JohnDeereOperations

Our #combines must separate the grain from the rest of the plant without any damage to the kernel. Through machine learning, the #combine is able to detect the condition of the crop and automatically adjust the combine settings to maintain grain quality. #JohnDeere #Harvest21

Willard Jack, family patriarch for Silent Shade Planting Co., Belzoni, MS, details what his family is seeing yield-wise on their 12K operation: up to 190 bu. rice, 230 bu. corn (under irrigation) and expecting 75 bu. soybeans. Great growing conditions! #FJFieldDays #agriculture

The Tokyo Olympics Organizing Committee's Sustainable Sourcing Code is designed to advance #sustainability throughout the Games’ supply chains. We're honored that the U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol (SSAP) was recognized as compliant. Read more: ow.ly/kWjs50FE0UY

It wasn’t long ago that entire fields were planted, treated and harvested in the exact same way, despite conditions that can vary. However, today, new ag technology allows us to manage at a plant by plant level based on its unique conditions and needs. #change #agriculture

Join Jeremy today at @WSJ’s Global Food Forum where he and @ChrisHarbourt will be discussing what’s needed to catalyze #carbonfarming and unlock the potential of ag carbon credits. Learn more about the event: globalfood.wsj.com. #WSJFood #CarbonbyIndigo

We are super excited to have a Farm Journal Field Day at our farm in August! The Mississippi delta is unique. We look forward to showing our crop variety, the humidity, bugs, weeds, beautiful sunsets and delicious food. Hope to see you there! #FJFieldDays agweb.com/news/business/…

Great video to share with your Congressional leaders about the importance of farm and tax policy to the sustainability of the family farm. #SeeSoyPlant #soybeans #farmpolicy #taxpolicy #ASA youtu.be/SZmcAbCFAFA via @YouTube

Our first cotton plants are breaking through the ground! The ideal plant date is between late April - early May. So these plants hit the window perfectly! #cotton #Plant21

We enjoyed having some visitors to the farm today from John Deere. We had some great conversations about how to make cotton planting and harvest more sustainable and efficient. #nothingrunslikeadeere #cotton #JohnDeere

@agtri1 The book is called Farm Business Management. It was written by Dr. Lynn S. Robertson of Purdue University and Dr. Ralph Woods, Pres. of Murray (Kentucky State).

@SSPCJeremy What’s the name of the book and author

Wow. We just found this gem of a book. It was written in 1946-almost 75 years ago. We spend so much time talking about how farming has changed and evolved, mainly through equipment and tech advancements, but this book is a good reminder that so much is still the same.

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate #WorldFoodDay than learning more about where your food comes from. Watch #FollowtheFood – a special on the #pandemic, premiering tonight on BBC. spr.ly/6017Gfpfh

Mississippi soy growers and others are a knowledgeable, reliable resource as lawmakers navigate important and consequential farm policy decisions. #SeeSoyHarvest #AgPolicy @SenatorWicker @SenHydeSmith @BennieGThompson ow.ly/Anqv50BNcEv
