@SamBodenus I tried a couple that did not work on Amazon. And finally found one called Pawious that’s been great. And pretty cheap.

@twleman @MorkFarmsMN It wasn’t my presentation. I thought it was a fair comparison.
English
@FoulkShay @MorkFarmsMN Part of me thinks land cost should be excluded for purpose of comparing international efficiency of production. Seems like it could be looked at more as a way that the local market has determined to split profits rather than a “cost of production” from a global perspective…?

@cgradert2 @FoulkShay I caught it totally messing up summing a column twice this fall. I told it the total was not correct and it doubled down that it was. I had to tell it the correct answer and ask it to find its mistake until it admitted it. ChatGPT seem more accurate.

@FoulkShay Any mistakes? I did that on all fields and caught it missing a couple of loads on 2 different fields.

@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms Call me crazy,but I guess I’m a little sympathetic when “Tom” at church tells me they eat pretty normal, but has some concern about the chem in these lawsuits he sees on TV being sprayed on his food just before harvest.I don’t see that as a “Tom” problem. I leave it at that, Matt
English
@twleman @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms Have all the legitimate concerns you want. Advocating for a tool to be removed because you are “concerned” but not “concerned” enough to take any actual measures to mediate the risk you perceive on your own is different.
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms I didn’t say they take no measures. This is why consumers don’t trust us. You are leaving no room for middle ground. “Shut up and eat it or grow your own/get radical about it.”
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms Not really. You seem to say because they have the option to withdraw from mainstream food system that they don’t get to have concerns if they don’t. I’m saying many people have concerns, but it’s not a high enough priority in their life to take drastic measures. That’s OK.
English
So you mean that in lieu of advocating for a ban on something they may not personally agree with they are weighing their risks and making a decision? They can continue to behave as they have in the past and or make a change to something that might have a trade off (higher cost etc) ?
Sounds like something I’ve spent all afternoon advocating for.
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms You realize not everyone with concern about risks goes to that extent? These are rational people, they minimize, not eliminate risk. You might do best to consider others more rational than you do currently.

@twleman @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms So they all stopped eating takeout pizza, bread from the store and started making their own or buying it from verified organic sources?
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms Actually, I know of multiple modern farmers in the area that use glyphosate that think that way also.
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms We must talk to different people. I find many people not in agriculture are somewhat concerned about glyphosate and know about it. That turns closer to horrified if/when they hear of it being sprayed on a food crop just before harvest. Right or wrong, that’s the perception I hear
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms That’s just not reality. Consumers aren’t thinking of just flour. Pasta at the restaurant, the pizza from Casey’s, bread from bakery. Telling them to make it all themselves is not realistic. Afraid this issue is giving a blackeye to the industry on a hill we don’t need to die on.
English
I’m using “maybe” and “possibly” because I haven’t tested it myself and likely won’t. I am considering it from the consumers perspective. If they want cheap, they can buy flour off the shelf. If they want to eliminate the possibility they can do that too. It might cost them a bit more but it’s completely their call.
English
@KeithWells6 @TrentLanie @CBKimbrell @MaxROIFarmer rBST was deemed safe also but we don’t force that down the throat of consumers. And just because something was once deemed safe doesn’t mean it can’t be reviewed. Plenty of examples in the past of ag needing to walk back some practices as we learn more…
English
@twleman @TrentLanie @CBKimbrell @MaxROIFarmer It a legal practice and on label. All grains must meet MRL’s which have been deemed safe by regulatory bodys
English
@MaxROIFarmer @kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms The fact that we are using the word “maybe” and “possible” should make us stop and consider it from consumer’s perspective….
English
@kim_nebraska @CBKimbrell @hofffarms @twleman Entirely possible, thus why I’m saying there is what and/or flour available in the US today with none of those things if you so choose.
English
@KeithWells6 @TrentLanie @CBKimbrell @MaxROIFarmer To put it bluntly, then quit growing wheat for human consumption if you can’t do it without desication . There’s plenty of areas that can, and we have no shortage of it.
English
@twleman @TrentLanie @CBKimbrell @MaxROIFarmer Not everyone has the same climate as you have. Conditions vary
English
English
@CBKimbrell @MaxROIFarmer @twleman I don’t know one person who’s used it as a desiccant in my general area.
English
@CBKimbrell @MaxROIFarmer Exactly. I know how easy it is to grow wheat without it in most of the United States. And I know how low wheat prices are. Even organic wheat prices. Sorry, just don’t have any sympathy for the ones that think they need it to grow wheat. We don’t.
English
@MaxROIFarmer @twleman Personally, I think they should stop using it for a desiccant on wheat. It’s not necessary.
English
@MaxROIFarmer I think that’s pretty tone deaf. Large swath of the public is not OK with it, yet still wants to eat at restaurants and not make their own bread. Why don’t we give the choice of milk from cows with hormones and milk from those without?
English
If they found pasta/bread in Europe to be more to their liking they should order the flour and/or end products they want from European varietals.
If they don’t want the cost of shipping things overseas there are several American farm families who commit to things like no dessication and mill and sell it.
If you want to take advantage of that market either as a buyer or seller then go for it.
No one is forced to buy anything here, if the market for desiccated flour goes away farmers won’t desiccate it for human use. If fewer people use it less acres will be grown and/or flour from desiccated wheat will be cheaper for those to whom budget matters.
English
@MaxROIFarmer Not sure your argument makes much sense. Either we’re OK with it or we’re not. By a large I hear the public saying they’re not OK with it. And I don’t blame them. And they shouldn’t have to go buy specialty flour and make their own bread and pasta.
English
I’m not taking a position for or against desiccation, it has its place but likely shouldn’t (and isn’t btw) used all the time or even a majority of the time.
If you don’t want to purchase flour that (may have but likely didn’t) have glyphosate used on it as a desiccant there are a myriad of options on the internet.
Most of them farm families with their own small milling outfit.
