Sand Farmer

Looking for a few strip till guys in IN/IL to run a trial. If you need to apply fertilizer in the spring hit me up. Paid trial plus free potassium.

@FarmerRyanIL They ought to be focused on why health insurance costs $1800 (bc gov is involved) and how to fix it instead of just subsidizing it

This is not trump this is the ACA and its subsides all only voted on by democrats!” And passed only by them

@gwiesefarms Dec 31

I update my balance sheet on Dec 1 every year. When do you update yours?

@BARippe A little OM light never disappoints

Anyone have any tips for changing inner tie rod on a JD8430 ILS? Snap rings are out but I can’t get the old one to slide out

@NickHorob No idea. We are a long way from any meaningful NG fields. NW Indiana

@farming46392 That's awesome. Which field is this natural gas coming from?

Here is Pioneer Generation Station Phase IV that went online on September. 580 MW of power in what is the largest power plant in North Dakota since the 1980’s. This would power almost 4 of Elon Musk‘s Colossus 1 data center in Memphis. There’s another power plant in the same county (Williams) that is coming online in 2030 that is 2.6x the size of this one.

@NickHorob Natural gas. And they are already building a “peaker” NG unit across the road which is 400MW because solar panels don’t make energy at night.

@farming46392 That’s a big one! What’s the fuel source?

Does anyone use a single shank deep ripper along wooded tree lines for roots? Looking for ideas

@gavin_spoor Highly recommend “Entreleadership”

I just finished one of Dave Ramseys book. I believe it’s well worth the read whether you’re self employed, W-2, or a schedule F’er. His mentality is oil and water with most modern farming operations. So for those farmers out there that have implemented his plan - has it served you well?

@clintwfischer But did the neighbors actually sign up? Lots of unethical tactics being used here by solar co land agents to pressure landowners, especially elderly widows, into signing up. It’s sickening

What would you do if you're in this guy's shoes: Farmer in his mid 60s. Two kids, neither coming back to farm. Company is rounding up acres for a solar farm. Offer him $1,400/acre for 25 years on 160 acres across the road from his house. He's well aware of the lease risks and doesn't like solar farms any more than you do. But, the neighbor who owns three adjacent quarters already signed up with the Solar Co. So, likely he'll have panels to look at in a few years regardless if he signs up or not. Plus, he and his wife have been kicking around the idea of retirement and moving to the lake house anyway... Take the money, retire, and invest elsewhere? Or sit this phase out and see what happens? *For context, it's about $300/ acre cash rent ground. Seems like they're making these $$ offers almost too good to turn down.

@jakesmoker1 lol

Guess the brand of irrigator……

Anyone have a better phone case/holster than the Otterbox Defender? Been using these forever but it seems like the quality is now shit and I need something that doesn’t randomly let my phone drop

@jakesmoker1 Never had to stop

Every planter is a high speed planter if you try hard enough

@AaronBobeck I think China has manufacturing capability to make good parts, the problem is companies only go there to make cheap parts. So they make what their customer wants- cheap low spec parts.

Maybe big tarrifs on all the Chinese parts wouldn't be such a bad idea..

@RepMaryMiller I agree. End federal funding for solar on farmland!

This week, I reintroduced the No Solar Panels on Fertile Farmland Act, to ban taxpayer funding of Chinese solar panels on America's prime farm ground. We must end the left's Green Bad Deal that puts fake environmental goals over food security!

@montysmemos Heard a story here of a guy that installed tile in the 30’s by hand. He was paid 10 cents a rod.

I have heard a lot of stories about hand installation of drainage tile. This is the first picture I have come across.

I’m so glad these eggs were never in a cage 🙄

@LMcLachlan60 At least

@farming46392 Engine light on for the last 600,000 or so? I’ve owned lots of GM trucks.

Does anyone know if the trip odometer has 7 digits or will it roll back to 0? #chevy
