AND THEN THERE WERE 3️⃣ RT IF YOUR SCHOOL STILL HAS A 0️⃣ IN THE LOSS COLUMN 👏

@on3 @PeteNakos @_willcompton this is the one. Rally the troops and get this guy. Excellent QB that was a stud in high school and has had time to develop at a top program. Easy button for giving Nebraska time to develop the younger guys in the qb room

NEW: Ohio State QB Lincoln Kienholz plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, @PeteNakos reports. on3.com/transfer-porta…

@laurenpayne2012 Everything is relative. Why should we be gaslit into believing our product is high when it has barely matched inflation over 45 years? Or even the last 10? It took many years of strife to get to these all time highs just for beef to be worth what it should be. I’m not sorry.

@swmckewonOWH Dual Jackrabbit and Cornhusker fan here. Can confirm that Wilde is the real deal! Contributed and set records for a true freshman the 2nd title year for the Jacks with Gronowski at QB

That NW WR - South Dakota State transfer - beat every DB Penn State had on him. Double moves. Slants. Comebacks. A clinic. Hell, I'm pretty sure Ohio State would have room for that guy on the field rn.

@snodgrss @ChetEdinger @silagechopper Been telling dad the last few days this just feels like spring of ‘22 but warmer…. Not happy that I’m right.

@ChetEdinger @silagechopper Mitchell, SD 5-Year Precip Data. It is the driest start to the year in the last 5 years (a shade drier than Jan 1 - March 21 in 2022)

We are over 1/2 done planting Spring Wheat tonight. I don’t ever remember a spring that was this dry to start. According to my favorite weatherman @snodgrss it doesn’t look good for us on getting any decent rains soon either. We will plant & hope for the best. #farming

During one of the most unstable weeks in @GoJacksFB program history A look into how Chase Mason and Quinten Christensen have rallied the Jackrabbit troops from within @Chase_Mason11 | @QuintenChriste2 @Tannercastora/south-dakota-states-quinten-christensen-and-chase-mason-rallying-program-during-uncertain-times-a8335d4936a8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@Tannercastora…

@RyanDeal_605 The Cafe they always eat at on Seinfeld

Where am I? Wrong answers only.

If you hated inflation under Biden…

My god today. Tariffs are designed to incentivize domestic production by penalizing cheap imports. Yes, there will be cost changes and products of the USA will then be competitive. You know what that does? Grow jobs. Spur growth. Raise GDP. Stabilize supply chains. Mitigate risk. Make America Great Again. Did you know that most of our electrical infrastructure comes from Mexico and China? Do you know that we don’t have adequate supply’s of transformers? And we can’t get them? Did you know our medication got rationed during the port strike? Or we just couldn’t vaccinate cattle because of supply chain problems in China? We are a global economy, and we have to participate in the world at large. But we shouldn’t be fragile because we have anticompetitive regulations and trade policies. Chill out.

@gdtwinkie Eh, the banquets taste better with maturity on our end!

@TomHarris28 This is a revolution I wish I experienced circa 2015 at Ray’s Corner.

As time has gone on I’ve learned and matured. I’ve decided to grow as a person and I’ve officially switched parties this year. It’s only right to affiliate with something that stands for legacy and American heritage. Coors Banquet is my number one over Busch Light.

Hey, is this heaven? No, it’s the state amateur baseball tournament in Mitchell. ⚾️ 🍺 🍔

@RobFoxThree Forgive me, Rob, for I have forgotten you are the Hemingway of our generation. Good stuff here

It is July in Texas. The environment is unfit for human life. I stand in my front yard as my two small children scamper barefoot around the driveway, which has been baking in this hellscape’s unrelenting sun for hours. Their soft feet dance amongst the heat shimmers. Flies buzz all around. Vultures circle above us. Our smell excites them. Eons of evolution have informed the creatures that inhabit this land that the mere presence of our tender, exposed flesh in this place portends our inevitable deaths. They expect to feast on us. On me. On my children. My wife rushes outside. She is upset. This is all she can be. Only wretchedness and anger, like this hard country’s twisted and spiny flora, can flourish here. “What are you doing!?! It’s a hundred degrees! Their feet are gonna get burned!” I tell her I know. This is the point of the exercise. For our children to associate this time of day and this time of year with pain. Blistering, inescapable pain. I do this so they never ask me to bring them out here again. Into this furnace. They do not understand the pain yet. They must. My wife has lived here long enough. She knows the ends I pursue are justified, though she will not say it aloud. She instead objects to my means. She tells me they are wrong. I ask her what she means by “wrong.” She is incredulous. “What the fuck are you talking about!?!” She has been touched by the heat. It has made her agitated. Confused. I clarify. I ask her if it is morality she speaks of. “Dude, are you drunk?” I tell her God is not here. “WHAT!” She hurries to our children. Puts her arms around them. Protects them. She is a good mother, but she does not see that I am protecting them as well. I clarify again. I explain that if what she means to say is that my methods are morally objectionable she needn’t worry, because God does not watch this place. He does not look upon us here and thus he cannot judge what we do here. My wife is afraid now. Outwardly, it would appear, of me. But it is of the truth I speak that she is really afraid. She nervously tells me the Bible says God is everywhere. I tell her to close her eyes. “I want to take the kids inside. Now.” I repeat myself, but she will not close her eyes. Just the same, I say. I tell her that I know she can feel what I feel. The heat, evaporating our souls out through our pores. The sun, cooking us until our skin bubbles with tumors. God has left this place, I say. He cannot bear to look upon what he has created. She is a Christian but she knows I am right. God does not reside where our family does. Here in the Texas Hill Country. She cries softly. "You are drunk." She has found my thermos of margaritas. I tell her not to let it obscure the truth I've spoken. The children cry now too. Their feet hurt. They ask to go inside. We do. We turn on Bluey. We are happy in there. In there we will remain. Until November. It is July in Texas.

@ChetEdinger Rolling is a bit of an overstatement. Got 4 loads out on Friday, and got the combine stuck good once as well. Got a few out yesterday and today each to finish the first field. It’s a slow go between sprinkles and humidity

@TomHarris28 I heard you were rolling. We did play around in the mud on Saturday. Today we put a full crew on it.

#wheat #harvest24 has started in Aurora County SD

@gdtwinkie Don’t know about this piece in particular, but my general sentiment is that there’s enough farm ground already and that the grass we still have is there for a reason. More grass and cattle would do the world better than more monoculture crops

I’m gonna say this at risk of being completely ran through the wringer: Maybe we shouldn’t be sod busting that piece?

@MonetaRoyalty @gdtwinkie @marioncofarmer There’s a guy not far from us, he and his dad farm over 3k acres and both have jobs in town for the money/benefits and they absolutely don’t need it. But they’ve figured out it’s better to work in town and hire almost everything done. It’s only as hard as you make it 🤷🏼‍♂️

@gdtwinkie @marioncofarmer Crop farming is literally a retirement job. They work 4 weeks in the spring and 4 weeks in the fall. We need to stop acting like any working age person should be a full-time farmer.

I know it's a popular thing to shit on #boomers but in ag they fucking deserve it for the mess they are making. And no it's not every 70 something dad or grandpa but it's 85-90% of em that absolutely will not slow up or let go and it's about to make for a real bad mess. #fuckem

@blakealbers Anything that involves breakfast sausage. It’s an absolute go-to in our house. Premade patties, sandwiches, and burritos are awesome

What’s a heat and eat product you’d keep on hand in your fridge or freezer to make your life a little easier ? (Animal proteins) Example would be a smoked pulled brisket that you could throw in a tortilla for a work lunch.

@sacarlson8 @Farm_Lift @MikeSautter_ @WilliamKyleIII You can change free throws and footwork over a summer. You can’t teach that level of athleticism. Kid’s got 2 years left, I envy any school that gets him

@Farm_Lift @MikeSautter_ @WilliamKyleIII Watched every game. Footwork just ok. Hands are bad. Shooting form- look at his free throws.

In a little over 24 hours since he entered the transfer portal. South Dakota State transfer William Kyle III (@WilliamKyleIII) has heard from these schools. Wisconsin Nebraska Kansas Florida Kansas State Butler Wake Forest Boise State Iowa St. LSU Oklahoma Arizona St Virginia Tech Nevada San Francisco California Oregon Iowa Arkansas Clemson South Florida

@PlsntVlyFarmer Midwest concrete and redimix in Platte. Best bang for your buck by a mile when we put some in a year ago.

Ok #CattleTwit, what’s the best fenceline bunk for the money? (Including freight to SESD). TIA
