July 2019 vs July 2022 Come about the end of October I'm ready for a 3 foot snow.

@schuelkecorn @willdefries 03 Honda crv. Smaller, but the thing will out last Ford x2

@willdefries That model was not well balanced, in the literal sense. Very easy to roll over. Nice to look at though.

Cleaning out some an old building. These worth anything?

Hot take: Noon = dinner 6pm = supper

@johnspigfarm That's like adding a semi truck to my policy that made it go down. Multi vehicle and business discounts 🤷‍♂️

My uncle retired from running the farm 19 years ago and handed our little operation over to my wife and I. He still lives in the farm house and is active. Last week he bought a new truck and wanted to pay insurance himself instead of just being a driver on our policy like the past. Got a call from our agent that because he has an active roll and has a better insurance rating than me, they will use his score and keep use altogether on it all because it could save us a little. I agreed. Called me back the next day, Our insurance just dropped 30% for the entire operation. I’m baffled, almost upset that they didn’t figure this out 19 years ago. I could buy a 40 every year for what we spend on insurance. So anyway, happy he bought a new truck!

@bl_ag_inc 1 Soil testing. buying minimal N 2 doing all harvest trucking 3 not upgrading vehicles 4 buying good hail insurance for irr corn Don't worry all these have been offset 🥴🤦‍♂️

What’s been your best financial move this year?

@ahorinek @Bkitch1Bodie @JasonSchley Have seen only 3 bu difference in 100 v 300 lbs n applied before. The low n stuff had other micros but shows n isn't where we need to focus

@Bkitch1Bodie @JasonSchley Grew my best 3 pivots of corn ever this year. All 3 lived on 40-50 pounds of soil available N until we fertigated June 25th which was 8 weeks after planting. One of the fields ended with a 11 bushel per thousand yield versus population. Crazy high for my irrigated environment.

Read this!! I’ve got the data from our farm. We utilized foliar N which allowed us to reduce soil N but allowed for the plant to continue to pump high level exudates and allowed for Weoc levels to build. First time in my 7 years of pulling these soils I was above my Weoc goal

What do you charge yourself for overage / what do you pay for overage? What is your yeild environment? #harvest #harvest25

@MaxROIFarmer I'd really like to try the orthman 1tripper sometime

@kellan97616645 There are some mounted raptor and gladiator options that are relatively inexpensive

If anybody could tell me why my 5310 consistently drafts to the right even though I can’t find anything setup incorrectly I’d love to know.

@MaxROIFarmer Meh, mounted is ok, usually pull a liquid all steer cart, but had dry urea spread on this, so just trying to cover it up. Really just not a big fan of the case / dmi machines.

@kellan97616645 How do you like the mounted bar? Just doing strips or do you have tanks mounted?

@MaxROIFarmer Interesting, don't have implement steering, what tractor do you use?

@kellan97616645 Tractor pulls straight but the implement steering is always off to the side trying to keep the toolbar where it needs to be

@speerman42 They should have stayed closed

Wasde report was about as bad as expected

@sheepGeekCP Kansas milo farmer

Another Barley pit going in. 🤞 it's not me that has to open it.

July planted cover crop, froze hard over the weekend, must have a nice little micro climate going for the radish.

@MaxROIFarmer I've thought this for a long time

Boy I don’t hate the idea of diesel electric drive

@elonmusk Thats almost 17 ac of floor space 🤯
