This is the shit that keeps me coming back to Twitter.

@KsStockton @shanaka86 Definitely has small hands

@shanaka86 Came to burn your awful "corn belt" map but realized you have so much info misleading if not just wrong that all I know to say is that you might want to stay away from talking about the farm gate. You don't understand it and are embarrassing yourself, not helping anyone.

A law written for energy independence is now the mechanism for food dependence. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates that 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol be blended into American transportation fuel annually. That volume consumes approximately 43 percent of the US corn crop. The mandate was established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. It was designed for a world where corn was abundant and America wanted to reduce reliance on foreign oil. That world no longer exists. Corn acres are falling to 94 million from 98.8 million because urea at $610 makes the nitrogen economics impossible. The RFS takes its 15 billion gallons from a shrinking harvest. The percentage of remaining corn available for feed, food, and export compresses with every acre that switches to soybeans. The mandate does not flex. The biology does. Waiving the RFS requires the EPA Administrator to make a formal determination that implementation would cause severe economic or environmental harm. The process involves a public comment period, regulatory review, and potential legal challenges from the ethanol industry. The EPA proposed 2026 and 2027 RFS volume requirements in June 2025 and has been targeting Q1 2026 for the final rule. The rulemaking machinery was designed for normal agricultural cycles. It was not designed for a war that closed the world’s most important fertiliser transit route during planting season. Even if the EPA Administrator initiated a waiver today, the timeline from announcement to implementation stretches weeks to months. The corn planting window closes in three to four weeks. The legal process cannot outrun the biological calendar. By the time a waiver could take effect, the acreage decisions it was meant to influence would already be irreversible. The RFS is the transmission belt that converts a fertiliser crisis into a food crisis. Without the mandate, a shrinking corn crop would still produce less total output, but the available supply could be allocated flexibly between feed, food, and fuel based on market signals. With the mandate, 43 percent of whatever corn exists is legally spoken for before a single hen eats a kernel or a single tortilla is pressed. The flexibility that markets provide is overridden by the rigidity that law imposes. The cattle herd is at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Poultry operations rebuilt from the 2025 avian flu but face rising feed costs. Dairy herds are contracting. Every animal that eats corn competes with a fuel pump that has legal priority. The protein cascade, from corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the grocery shelf, begins at the point where the RFS takes its cut. Corn Belt legislators who championed the RFS to support their farming constituents now face a perverse outcome: the law they wrote to help farmers is the law that prevents the market from adjusting to a crisis their farmers are living through. The ethanol industry will resist any waiver. The livestock industry will demand one. The consumer will pay the difference. And the EPA rulemaking process was designed for annual adjustments, not emergency response during a 21-day-old war. Fifteen billion gallons. Written into statute. Consuming 43 percent of a crop that just lost 4.8 million acres to a fertiliser price that originates in a strait the law never contemplated. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Bkitch1Bodie Wait till August you pussy

Just absolutely love to see it! First bin almost emptied. It’s been a huge learning experience for never having bins but I’m glad we did it. Corn is moving smoothly today and that makes ya feel better

@CoachWalker1981 @itsAntWright Woah woah woah - reasonable takes like this are not allowed

@itsAntWright Officiating has been bad both ways. Numerous calls not being made and barely any contact called.

Refs just screwed Purdue.. call the first foul on Benter and that play doesn’t happen

@formerTedHamer1 Could have just stopped at suck 🤷‍♂️

Hey Bruce Pearl, You suck at remembering names

@StockTalks21 @gregmclnk That pic is soooo old - it’s #41 !!

💀💀💀

@DozzzzzEric @farmerbobnwmo Well I guess it’s been a while since we got ours 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@DMo2010 @farmerbobnwmo Well the ones around here dont have them

Anyone have a purple brand mattress?

@DozzzzzEric @farmerbobnwmo We looked at them at a thing called a mattress store There’s a row of them in any town over 9,000 people 😜😜

@DMo2010 @farmerbobnwmo Again, where can a person find one at? Only place ive seen so far is online

#PurdueBack?

@ottoscholl Just think what you could do with those massive hands

With friends like these....

@wapp56 @tihoma But but but but - I don’t like them

@tihoma Honestly, I drove past this and it looks easier to clean up than where farmsteads got hit and their sheds and grain bins are scattered across hundreds of acres

Can this ground with the solar panels be used for anything involving crop production ever again?

@benjaminaustic TLDR - but saving to read later

Not that I care what AI thinks on the subject, but it’s thought provoking.

@iamyourfarmer I'm a better marketer than you, and you suk Feel better now? 🤣🤣

There was a time when ag twitter actually still existed and there were people focused on tweeting how much better of a marketer they were than you. Then all those guys got their face ripped off when Russia invaded Ukraine. Twitter hasn’t been the same since.

@agtradertalk Am I doing this right?

If the cartel takes over Gatlinburg the end of March I’m gonna be pissed

@Cetter15 @bprofit09 Conversely, by the time I am able to afford, I'll hopefully have grandkids

@bprofit09 On the bright side, I won’t be able afford one of these until my kids are old enough to not press it out of curiosity.

Anyone who has ever had a kid ride with them knows immediately how terribly placed these buttons are.

@GoddessofGrain The Supreme Court did not convene till 1790 and was not established until 1789 Do better

Checks and balances are so 250 years ago
