@NebGradDubDub @StandardGrain @usda_nass Why doesn’t NASS also acquire data from private sources(Deere, CNH, satellite sources etc..) that traders buy from? Compare to survey results or pass along to farmers.

@StandardGrain @usda_nass NASS isn't needed. They are just setting a benchmark that trading houses are now using to trade a side that is reflected in the planting data the traders acquire from John Deere, CNH, ect

NASS @usda_nass is a small group of statisticians. They're good people. They have a tough job. Big Ag is much more nefarious. I think lots of people have it backwards.

@brim006 Toured the state capitol as an elementary student and Minnesota historical society had a display of possible state boundaries when statehood was being discussed. This Argus Leader article lays it out. argusleader.com/story/davidmon…

Sun has to now burn the fog off before it can burn the frost off. Slow & safe morning.

Good morning from the frosty beet field. Couple more shifts to finish this now muddy 2025 harvest.

@NickHorob Reporter just searching keywords “autonomous” and “tractor” and linking whatever comes up. Or not reporter but AI.

@Snake_redriver In the original article about the Family Farms “buy”, it mentions a 2016 ship date. Odd to see that link in a 2025 article that states that it was a recent purchase.

Is Family Farms Group still around? I never quite understood the buy-in model or the philosophy of selling land to free up equity to rent more. But some of their ideas made sense. Group buying and selling (albeit this is easier said than done), domain experts to help with issues, and overall mastermind groups.

@jdfarmernd @ScottSloan6164 Where did you end up for psi on the combine?

Thank you ⁦@ScottSloan6164⁩ for calculating the correct tire pressure for our sprayer and combine today! #CustomerService #LSWs

@jdfarmernd @ScottSloan6164 28 for 1250

What pressure are you running your #Goodyear LSWs at? I’ve never scaled our machine but they must all be similar #TwinValleyTire #BigJimsTire @ScottSloan6164 any advice?

@jrodhans @PioneerSeeds A good solar field.

100% sunlight capture on the @PioneerSeeds 04A98Enlist beans in 15” rows

@DarylRitchison @NDAWNmesonet Daryl how about this MN DNR station. mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman…

With the addition of Geneva, the Minnesota map is getting more full. Two more stations are coming online in Minnesota this week. Another in North Dakota with the @NDAWNmesonet Center station getting an upgrade. Busy week for us. #ndwx #mnwx

@Kevinbkarel Kevin do you mean AC directly or farms you work with?

We lost more than I can count right now

@MattMbfarm Are those the cars that were in storage along hwy 75.

Storm Pics from Hendrum Mn to Galesburg ND

@NickHorob Really don’t like the looks of the bow of the storm coming towards Carrington to Jamestown and area in between.

@nfaleide Strip-till would qualify also? Who are “they” in they need planting, fert etc..?

Any no-till or min-till sugar beets growers out there? $15-22/acre if you did it last year in 2024. Just need to share some data to prove it. In-season cultivation is fine. They need planting, fert, yield, and soil test records at the least. DM me if interested and share it out!

@blonglet @JoeBreidenbach Are you changing the direction you plant/seed them also?

Autopath from boundary saved me 2 passes on this field vs the way we used to spray it. Thats pretty cool!

@blonglet Filter by crop so only one crop showing at a time.

Here is a mockup of a map based crop planner. Do you find it useful to have your crop plan in a visual format? What details do you need to make a map like this useful for your operation?

@jrodhans @Qshizzle97 @AustinLangley8 No. It doesn’t since signal is blocked. I unlock with phone.

@Snake_redriver @Qshizzle97 @AustinLangley8 Can I still use the button on the door to lock/unlock the door?

Anyone on #agtwitter looking for a church pickup? Owned since July 2023, it’s a 2024 3500 Denali Ultimate 11,000 miles. Going back to Ford

@Qshizzle97 @AustinLangley8 a.co/d/h02odGR Annoying but a faraday bag does fix it.

@AustinLangley8 It rides better and the interior is pretty otherwise I like everything else about a Ford, especially being able to leave your keys inside

@CedricCitrowske Never needed ID but the grain business is usually fairly personal from the grain buyer to office staff cutting checks. Yes that’s changing to phone calls & apps. Not that caller ID can’t be spoofed but if staff questioned an interaction they could always have you pickup a check.

Is it common for grain elevators to have no personal ID or security checks when selling grain? The other week, I called a 3-letter co-op to sell a small amount of grain. They just asked for my name, told me how many bushels I had, and sold it—no PIN, no security question, no text confirmation. It felt way too easy. In theory, anyone could call, ask about someone else's bushels, and sell them without permission. It seems like there should be more security to prevent this. Is this just how it works everywhere?
