@Horob @steeke7 Can you see the auction results? Not seeing it on the website

@steeke7 No idea! Our first auction here closed last week. If it doesn’t work I can talk to a guy who knows a guy.

Ran a Claude Cowork project to watch for pricing on JD 8320-8520 machines looking to find me the best deals on hours and feature. Then set it to run on a schedule so it will give me a weekly report. Pretty neat. It’s set to scrape auctions, tractor house, machinery Pete, etc and local Facebook.

@dvanklomp Can it shoot the weeds?

In my dreams all of these retired A10’s go to surplus auction, Air tractor buys all of them and converts them to crop dusters. See below 👇

@FoulkShay Probably should wait for it to go higher right?

This is a 5 year chart btw of Dec'26

@Qshizzle97 I know the ones in Hawaii are open

I think I still have some AgX in my algorithm. How far south do I have to go to find an open golf course? Nebraska, Iowa open yet? Or would I have to go farther south? East? West? TIA

How is everyone feeling about the CHS acquisition of West Central now that it’s been a few months?

@AdamSpelhaug @NickHorob Do you have one to sell?

@NickHorob Need one?

I almost kicked off my small-time farming career today! Not my day I guess

4.95 order hit. Only took 4 months of waiting.

Homegrown, corn-fed steak. We raised this beef from one week old to finish. There is nothing better than eating what you produce. #EatBeef

@kmorrow63 Are you looking for some guys? I have some contacts?

Haven't run cotton trials in a year or two. After 4 farmer calls today, I'm convinced: with prices where they are, hardly anyone's planting it this year.

Companies are starting to use AI to create fake podcasts talking about their product. Maybe if your product was good, people would naturally talk about it on real podcasts.

@embdenhaymaker Best I can do is 10

@blonglet You know the solution to bags of corn don’t you? A 999 head feedlot 🤗 that way you can chop silage and fill a bunker full of HMC.

#1 Corn being turned into ethanol. Great Conditions

@Qshizzle97 It’s turning to ethanol in the bag. Should get a premium for starting the process

@blonglet In the field or at the plant?

@MatthewCKrueger @Qshizzle97 At least you have snow and not water!

@Qshizzle97 Are we all having fun yet? @blonglet 😉

Wetter corn = taller, skinnier bags. I am a wet corn bag

Have been in a hotel for 30 days this year already. Glad to be heading home for a few days.

For urea supply problems: - Qatar/Iran/S.A. supplies blocked due to fighting - Egypt may struggle as Israel shuts down gas production - China already scaling back on exports - Europe still at 75% of normal Could not be happening at a worse time.

@AdamSpelhaug I’m down here in the Deere booth.

@blonglet I’m not a grower 😁

Do any farmers go to Comm Classic that aren’t on a board of some kind?

@iamyourfarmer I don’t think I would trust putting all my banking information in an AI tool unless it was owned by a company that knows how to build secure software.

Someone needs to create the framework of Open source accounting software, that can be manipulated with AI to fit your individual farms needs. Provide the backbone for security and the ability to connect bank accounts and credit cards. Charge for the frame like it’s a backend

Would something like this be useful for your farm operation?
