@farmerjim13 Ours are the older version, not super helpful I suppose. But seed tube module works. Have to think it’s likely the same. Ag leader on JD here

@archer_conner Thanks for the help. I know they don't have a weatherpack connector but an AMP superseal which I'm going to adapt to.

AgLeader experts. Has anybody out there tried Dickey John Hy Rate Plus seed tube sensors with an AL seed tube monitoring module? Dealer called AgLeader and they weren't sure anybody had done it yet but thought it should work? Trying to avoid buying all new sensors.

@TheGrainiac Easy, it simply depends on if it’s with or against my position in either the cash or futures market. Next question.

How do I know the difference between the evil speculator and the benevolent speculator? Is there handshake?

@Chris1009 @MasonMayer26 Opening a couple gates and chopping ice would probably have gotten her farther than a cap and coffee mug.

@MasonMayer26 20 yr old girl, I almost made her chop ice but she wasn’t dressed for it

Literally a cold call salesman on the coldest day of the year while I’m feeding. That’s going to be a tough sale

@tpotwilson By far the best we’ve found, calves use them quick. Mom likes it because she can smell calf right there. Pipe across middle section and on top to pick up with loader bucket
English
Looking for ideas to make some calf shelters
Have some old grain bins and some extra tin kicking around
Have some pipe to build frame as well
Need to be able to move them with a tractor is main thing

@bl_ag_inc The thing that the multiple small unit proponents have overlooked imo is that the cost for the tech to run this won’t be significantly higher on a 4WD and DB90 as it would a 6R and 6 row. Multiple units will make that price tag higher

@rfenner51 @BradyD78 When you put 1000 sep hrs on a machine/year and get paid by the acre you don’t screw around. Lots of acres to spread it over.

@mbacowboy Of course, throw in a few regional differences and it’s clear as mud. Would there happen to be a recording of one of your presentations a guy could watch/listen to?
English
@archer_conner I have given a number of talks and interviews on the subject. It's not an easy subject to cover comprehensively because of the wide range of knowledge in any audience.
Inevitably, if you speak to the median knowledge base, some people will be lost while others are bored.

This is an important observation.
Basis and price slides are a function of $/head in vs. expected $/head out.
Black Swan Cattle Co.@trdraaron
Regarding the stocker curve changing fast. It doesn’t cost $300-400 to put 200# on. 6 to 8 wts spread is narrowing in dollars per head. I should probably be trying harder to sell 6 wts into this transition.

@Doug_Severson #shortearszn watched someone pull 2 shorteared ones off a load of 855’s in kimball today. Guessing they can’t hear a feed wagon or something like that

@Doug_Severson I used all my margin money being short feeders this year, hopefully 2026 doesn’t give it all back.

@archer_conner Arch your pry the old guy that could deliver if you had too.

I’m definitely no silver expert but isn’t this called positive basis?🤷🏼♂️
Bark@barkmeta
🚨 THEY ARE RIGGING SILVER TO SAVE THE BANKS. The charts say SILVER is $71, but actual prices on street are much higher. 🇯🇵 Physical Silver $130 🇦🇪 Physical Silver $115 🇨🇳 Physical Silver $110 🇺🇸 COMEX Paper Silver $71 How is this possible? Because if SILVER charts go to $130 (the TRUE value), several banks go insolvent OVERNIGHT from margin called short positions. They’re using paper contracts to force the SILVER price down and protect them from liquidation. The charts are a lie. We are witnessing MANIPULATION on a scale that’s never been seen before. When the short positions are offloaded, silver price will go vertical to catch up 🪙📈

@_TheMizzouTiger @speerman42 @bl_ag_inc @MattNCOK Most guys in this part of the world haven’t gotten to where they have without having a fair jag of built in equity to withstand a tough year or two.
English
@_TheMizzouTiger @speerman42 @bl_ag_inc @MattNCOK Correct, a more realistic comparison would be the guy in Iowa that owns the home 1/4 is all. If he rents enough to farm full time a bad year or 3 will wipe him out as well.
English
The bigger question is who has $100/ac cash rent in SD and it so what’s the aPH. And further question why is it being farmed. Get rid of crop insurance. This is what’s wrong with ag. Why isn’t the $100 ac cash rent ground running cattle.

Observation: The financial stress on farms appears to be higher on the perimeter of the corn belt. If you own 500 acres of Iowa dirt the rents for $400/acre you have a $200,000 cushion even if your farming entity breaks even. The calculus looks different in South Dakota. Be kind my friends Add. If we have a like farm that owns a 500 acre base in central in South Dakota with an average rent of 100/acre the cushion is only $50,000 if the farming entity can break even
