Soybeans rolling along! R2 by mid May

@ronlee1975 Don’t worry. Fertilizer price increases are gonna make fuel increases look like a walk in the park I’m afraid

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

@CBKimbrell @ronlee1975 I spent the last 7 days in Brazil with huge farmers there. 50,000 to 2.2 million acre growers. I was there for soybeans and corn but their main crops included cotton also. 68 cent a pound and they are netting over $500 per acre after all expenses. Just can’t compete with it here

@ronlee1975 It ain’t funny at all but damn this one did make me laugh. God it all sucks right now

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

@jasonmauck1 Stacked!!!!

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

@MichaelPanzier Definitely depends where you are regionally. Soybeans are a bigger loss than that in Ga right now. And corn ain’t far behind it as well as cotton and peanuts

@bandedagllc When I was in Brazil last year I asked a farmer if they had to run DEF and he literally had no clue what I was even talking about. Had never even heard of it before lol

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

@jasonmauck1 Those jokers are loaded down!

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

@bandedagllc I’ve heard that somewhere before!

@cowtown_law There’s no insurance behind wheat anyways. But even on the full season I just report it as the same. Field acres are field
acres no matter what the row spacing

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

Skip row corn double cropped behind wheat is looking good! The thinking was to thicken it up in each row and take every 3rd row out to help late season heat out at night since it would be pollinating a lot later than our full season corn and in the hottest time of the year

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

I got to go to Brazil last December. Gave presentations in 6 states. Talked to several farmers that said cotton was making 2,400-3,000 Lbs per acre after being double cropped behind 65 bushel soybeans. Saw a field that was 40,000 acres in one block with not a tree on it. That’s when I knew we were in big trouble over here. Going back this December and they said we will go to the part of the country with the “real big fields this time”

@neilbernhoft @Storm5farms I plant with 8 row and 16 row planters and the head is 12 row. I’ve primarily ran Deere in the past but have ran some case also

@Njerabek92 @josh_sayler Everytime I spray herbicide I have a quart of Brandt Smart Trio in it and then either 1 oz of radiate PGR, or either a quart of network from ROI biologicals. One of those paired with quart of trio has helped us tremendously with metabolizing herbicide

In some good stuff today! 🌽

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

Harvested some big corn with the ol man today! 💪🏻 🌽

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

If anybody is qualified and interested in moving to South Ga shoot me a direct message. Be glad to speak with you

[Alex Harrell @AlexHarrell21]

Corn harvest is in full swing in South Ga! Getting into some good stuff now
