Unattainable goals are perhaps the most noble. In the effort, we are defined.

@agronomistag I'm glad someone is thinking about it. We tend to worry about invasive species AFTER they are introduced.

@kinderjw I heard two soil microbiologists in a webinar expressing the same concern.

Most soil inoculants fail for the same reason: the soil decides who survives. If conditions don’t support the “right” microbes already, why would purchased ones thrive? csanr.wsu.edu/why-soil-inocu…

After I took this the field received 0.75" .But most of my fields got <0.2"

Cookietown, Oklahoma, replicated wheat variety trials on heavily grazed conditions.

@OSU_OKFoundSeed Both germ tests were 90%. Low but it could have been me. This year, our Showdown was smaller than the Duster. 1st time. My guess is the Showdown had severe hail damage at milk stage, knocking some kernels out of the head. Hail affected grain fill. Same population.

I haven’t seen any problems with our prod. fields. germination % on each equal? One thing I remember well about Duster, it tillers a lot and is usually smaller seeded compared to Showdown. It is recommended to plant SD at higher rate if grazing as it doesn’t tiller as well

@Mr_Black_Cotton Old school baby boomer. God and I have a pact. He takes care of me, and I give him credit for it. He asked me to love him, help, and feed others.

Good morning, X world. Alot has been on my mind for a while, and today imma unload some of these thoughts for my ag X tribe. Please engage if you can. Question of today: how important is morality to you in the ag industry?

Remember the old hard red wheat variety Duster? Planted, drilled, and fertility are all the same. @OSU_OKFoundSeed @OSU_smallgrains Showdown is harder to establish, 3rd year we've noticed.

Organic farming is faith-based. If a pesticide is natural, they can use it. Most herbicides aren't natural so they till and damage the soil instead. This isn't scientific. They lie and spread fears about glyphosate to prevent other farmers from sustainable ag. This isn't ethical.

Is it me, or is this super creepy? youtube.com/watch?v=j_1esv…

Does anyone know about a product in the US? @OSU_NPK World Food Prize Foundation. Dr. Mariangela Hungria Named 2025 World Food Prize Laureate for Revolutionary Work in Soil Microbiology.

@HealthRanger The myth is that you know how to produce food. Long run? No-tiller here with 50 years of experience on a multi-generational farm and a degree in soil science. The soil is my family's heritage; we eat what we grow. We define sustainability.

It's a myth that glyphosate is necessary for food production. Food can be grown very effectively and efficiently using regenerative agriculture, no-till soil preservation techniques and feeding microbes into the soils that allow diverse life to flourish. Glyphosate only seems beneficial in the short term because modern agriculture has produced DEAD SOILS that have been killed with chemicals and "mined" of natural minerals. It takes care and effort to keep soils healthy, which naturally reduces weeds and helps intended crops out-compete other plants. But our entire agricultural system, just like our medical system, is rooted in the idea of a "chemical assault" on everything. Widespread use of glyphosate is indicative of failed agricultural practices that are not sustainable in the long run.

Does anyone in Oklahoma have a great Ag idea or product that needs help getting off the ground? Grants are available. okfarmbureau.org/news/2026-acce…

So, how hard would it be to create a digital twin for my farming and ranching operations? ANYONE? What platform would you use? Spreadsheet?

Where will it go from here?

@HustleBitch_ 62% Cremation

🚨 90 MILLION AMERICANS DIED - AND THE CEMETERIES AREN’T FULL A man asked a question that sounds insane… until you actually stop and think. Since 1990, over 90 million people have died in the United States. That’s nearly one third of the population. Yet the cemeteries haven’t doubled. They haven’t expanded. They’re not full. No closed gates. No “capacity reached” signs. Still selling plots like nothing happened. Deaths skyrocketed. Graveyards didn’t. When was the last time you saw a new cemetery being built? When was the last time you saw one actually maxed out? We’re told “cremation,” “reused plots,” “modern burial methods.” But even then - the math still feels off. So if 90 million Americans died… where are all the bodies?

This coverall pocket must be underwritten by major plier companies. Why? Because the pocket has lost more pliers than any pair of bluejeans. The low on the leg design dumps the pocket anytime things get athletic. #farm

@OkieStotts Every time🤠 I don't clean my plate, I think of cattle refusing to clean up the last of a fed bale.

They’ll eat the dirt out from underneath that haygrazer bale before they move over to this mixed grass bale.

You should be preparing now for a significant winter storm to impact you with a good chance of 6-12 inches of snow or significant ice, at times near white-out conditions, impassable roads, and life-threatening cold. ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet
