We get the tile fixed and these clowns decide to go swimming in the creek

Can we make talking on speaker phone in public areas a punishable offense?

The first auto brand to make a pickup with ZERO TECH will sell out so fast it'll make their head spin. No brain, no GPS...just engine, transmission, rear end, and get the hell outta my way:)

@kyleplattner Got it. Thanks for getting back with me. Definitely looking forward to using ops center and looking forward to pulling in those tile lines and other shape files. Thanks again!

[Barrett Farms @BarrettFarms]

@kyleplattner We are wanting to import tile lines that are shape files into ops center. We can't seem to figure out how to do this.

[Barrett Farms @BarrettFarms]

@kyleplattner Got it. Is there anyway that we could just upload as a KML for now to get it in there?

@McNeilBJ @ArlanFF101 @GoddessofGrain @GrainStats Get rid of the NASS surveys it’s obvious they are inaccurate and the fact we published data with only a 40% response rate tells us everything.

@McNeilBJ @ArlanFF101 @GoddessofGrain @GrainStats Don't need any of it

The Seed industry is like the Fertilizer Industry

1. They don’t “compete” — they manage territory
Seed companies do the same thing fertilizer does:
•license genetics
•divide traits
•sell “different brands” that are basically the same product
So it looks like choices exist… but it’s like 5 pickup trucks with different decals coming off the same assembly line.

2. Patents are the seed version of anti-dumping duties
Fertilizer companies use:
•trade barriers
•antidumping duties
•import friction
Seed companies use:
•patents
•trait licensing
•contracts (technology agreements)
Farmers aren’t buying “seed.”
They’re buying permission to use genetics for one year.

3. They choke out independents
Independent seed companies exist…
but most of them are either:
•buying genetics from the same big players
•restricted by licensing agreements
•unable to compete because trait access is controlled
That’s the same as fertilizer:
imports are “allowed,” but the system is built to make them irrelevant.

4. Consolidation controls pricing
Just like fertilizer has CF, Nutrien, Mosaic controlling huge chunks…

Seed is dominated by a handful of giants:
•Bayer
•Corteva (Pioneer)
•Syngenta
•BASF
•plus a few smaller regional players

When only a few companies dominate, competition becomes fake and prices move upward together.

So seed is basically a private controlled market disguised as capitalism.

[Sean Nettleton @sean_nettleton]

So if ~90% of all corn and soybean acres in the US are insured by the RMA (THE GOVT.)and acreage reports are due July 15, it SHOULD be incredibly easy to have a close planted acreage report from THE GOVT. by Sept. 1. Why are we only getting a large change to that number on January 12?

[Curtis Hong @CurtisHong32]

The FSA knows our acres. We don’t need to fill out surveys
