Reading some Warren Buffett. Makes me think of high speed implements, picket fence corn stands, multi million dollar grain facilities, class 11 combines, the list goes on and on and on and on Once everyone reaches the latest plateau of efficiency, you’ve got nothing to show for your newest capital expenditure except tighter and riskier margins.

@christopherhale Do the bishops support the wide open border policy of the previous administration?

NEW: Following Pope Leo XIV's lead, the U.S. bishops release a new video condemning the Trump-Vance White House’s “inhumane” deportation raids.

Some songs lift us up, other songs bring us down. What's the most depressing song you can think of...😩🎶

@cfarms76 Upon further review, I think I’m all full of shit on that fire. It has to be a pretty intense fire to kill the roots, a willow tree.

Is there anything that we can spray in these willows to kill them? I took out all of the big ones a couple years ago and mowing doesn’t do the job. Some type of copper or? Like something pre like Spike.

With the Series being 3-3, Game 7 is very important. Whichever team wins takes control of the Series!

This Case ad from the 1920’s fucks. That logo though 🔥 “The pressure of urgent spring work is often the cause of keeping the boy out of school for several months. It may seem necessary—but it isn't fair to the boy! You are placing a life-handicap in his path if you deprive him of education. In this age, education is becoming more and more essential for success and prestige in all walks of life, including farming. Should you feel that your own education was neglected, through no fault of yours, then you naturally will want your children to enjoy the benefits of a real education—to have some things you may have missed. With the help of a Case Kerosene Tractor it is possible for one man to do more work in a given time, than a good man and an industrious boy, together, working with horses. By investing in a Case Tractor and Grand Detour Plow and Harrow outfit now, your boy can get his schooling without interruption, and the Spring work will not suffer by his absence. Keep the boy in school—and let a Case Kerosene Tractor take his place in school—and field. You'll never regret either investment.”

I made these comments on National TV a day or so before his comments. This Wasn’t rocket science! I’m not necessarily a genius nor are thousands of my colleagues in Ranching. Yet we ALL knew this would happen! The Consumers will continue to suffer and now possibly long term! Because guys aren’t gonna build a herd when we can’t make a profit! Y’all ain’t gonna like what is left for choices to eat when we’ve disappeared.

Since this post: Nov Feeder Cattle: -$35.025 (-9.4%) Dec Live Cattle: -$22.10 (-9.1%) Beef: Choice +$6.75, Select +$9.65 There's a winner here and its not the consumer and for sure not the cattle producers...

I think there is a direct connection between the huge increase in people listening to video, music, calls etc on speaker in public places and the elimination of the 3.5mm jack on phones. I'm sitting at a train station and there are 5 people (of all different ages) around me constantly increasing the volume on their devices in a sort of cacophonous arms race. Miserable for everyone, and incredibly anti-social and selfish behavior.

Did you know Randy Bachman wrote "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" as a joke for his brother who stuttered? It was never meant to be released, but the exec's heard it, and the rest is history...😊🎶
