@AndyStumpf77 Damn it, there you go again with the educational post! 😂

Just a quick heads up for people complaining (I'm not saying NATO is amazing) about the lack of support from NATO in Iran, perhaps read the charter:
Defensive Only: Article 5 is invoked only when a member is the victim of an armed attack. If a NATO member initiates an attack, other members are not treaty-bound to help.

@CBKimbrell @apasztor82 He did present ethanol in a negative way in this podcast. Idk why they think we can all have 5 acre gardens and truck stands!

@apasztor82 He’s full of crap. What does he think all that feed turns into?

@605ranchy @BenRand10 What are your cost and where are you located

@jrmac31 @schuelkecorn Do you see this as a one time flocculation or just back to old practices all together?

Why is conservation adoption is so slow in agriculture?
It’s not ignorance. It’s economics…& time.
A lot of farmers aren’t just farming anymore; they’re working off-farm, running side hustles, doing whatever it takes to stay afloat.
Conservation takes management.
It takes attention. It takes time most don’t have.
And then there’s cost. Strip-till. Cover crops. Precision nutrients.
None of it is free to try, and none of it is simple to manage.
So what happens?
Guys go back to what works:
One pass. One plan. Fewer variables.
Not because they don’t care…
but because they assume they can’t afford not to.
Every farmer wants to leave the land better.
But first, they have to not just survive, they have to thrive.

@corn_porkNbeans @schuelkecorn I’ve plateaued on my yields… less than my dad across the fence
English

@jrmac31 @schuelkecorn Why do you think this? Yields being hurt?
English

@schuelkecorn @corn_porkNbeans I’ve been so dedicated to no-till in the hills…fearful of hitting it with tillage and having to start over… I need to let it go and hit it with tillage
English

@corn_porkNbeans I was in the nation's first CSP 20 years ago. Being paid for things we already practiced. (no-till, VR fert, sprayer shut off, IPM, etc)
I chisel plowed all my bean stubble last year.
Do what you need to do when you need to do it. Putting a label on something is silly.

@BeetfarmerDave @SoybeansRus Don’t forget about the lavish vacations in tropical destinations
English

@SoybeansRus Then we’ll have to hire 400 managers and 1000 salesmen that are our relatives and give them bloated salaries and white pickups to drive. We can let them keep the profits to “expand”, but they’ll just end up building in Brazil. Shucks corporate America screwed us again
English

If you took an average of 92,000 Farmers in the U.S. and each chipped in roughly $135,000 dollars a one time payment we could build Ammonia plant in the U.S. That’s If you scale Blue Point’s cost by capacity, a Donaldsonville-sized ammonia complex 1.4 million metric tons per year that would pencil out around $12.4 billion as a rough modern replacement-cost estimate. 🤷♂️

@OSS_1970 You never will get anymore anyways. They are expanding feedlots and plants in mx those cattle will come here in boxes now and US plants that killed them will be forced further close.

As someone who doesn’t want any Mexican cattle to ever cross the border again, putting CRP back in play could help. I’ll let you do the math.

Lane Wells@laneallenw
As someone who has broken 1,210ac of CRP myself, I don’t think it’s lack of “grazing land” that contributes to low herd numbers: I believe it is lack of people who WANT to graze land/do animal ag that has made this contribution.

Won’t ever get one from Dad again and it breaks my heart.
Dear Son.@DearS_o_n
I pray you never stop getting these calls.

@CBKimbrell @gwiesefarms Been down that road with family on owned and rented land with family- won’t happen again.
English

@gwiesefarms I hate partnerships unless it’s family, and even then, most families are too dysfunctional to make them work.

Fred farms 6,000 acres which are all leased through many landlords.
He is well known as a top-notch producer and regularly must turn down offers to rent acres from new and existing landlords as those farms don’t fit within his operational goals.
For his first opportunity to buy out a small parcel from a landlord, he had the ability to make the entire purchase on his own. His understanding of the importance of cash to keep his risk levels down and how much cash is needed to scale the operation led him to pursue a different option.
Instead of buying the entire property, he found a friend from college who ran his own business. These two bought the ground on 50% shares.
The ability to bring in a like-minded investor and preserve cash will allow Fred to buy ground each time a landlord approaches him wanting to sell.
