My god today.

Tariffs are designed to incentivize domestic production by penalizing cheap imports.

Yes, there will be cost changes and products of the USA will then be competitive.

You know what that does?

Grow jobs.
Spur growth.
Raise GDP.
Stabilize supply chains.
Mitigate risk.
Make America Great Again.

Did you know that most of our electrical infrastructure comes from Mexico and China? Do you know that we don’t have adequate supply’s of transformers? And we can’t get them?

Did you know our medication got rationed during the port strike? Or we just couldn’t vaccinate cattle because of supply chain problems in China?

We are a global economy, and we have to participate in the world at large. But we shouldn’t be fragile because we have anticompetitive regulations and trade policies.

Chill out.

“So the Chippewa, they have this legend. There’s a lake they called Gitche Gumee. To us, Lake Superior.”

“Yes. Nasty lake, nasty November storms. The Edmund Fitzgerald was a big boat, bigger than most. It was loaded with twenty-six thousand tons of solid American steel.”

“What happened?”

“The skies of November turned gloomy. The gales, they came slashing. The water was too rough, even to feed the crew, that’s how rough it was, Joe.”

“But didn’t the searchers say they were almost safe?”

“Fifteen miles. That’s what they said, fifteen miles and they’d have made Whitefish Bay.”

“Crazy stuff man.”

“All that remains is the faces and the names of the wives, and the daughters, and the sons. You know what they say, Joe, Superior never gives up her dead. No, never.”

I’m gonna preface this with I’ve never backed out on a deal with a customer.

Can you imagine if dealers made videos every time a customer backed out on a deal?

We are in an economic downturn in ag. Dealers and customers are all making difficult decisions.

Let’s all get along.

One of the greatest blessings in disguise in golf is when you snap a drive into the woods and come out with 20 new balls.

RIP Charlie Robison

We’ll see you around heaven, whenever we get out that way.

More to come.

Why in the year of our lord 2023 am I still having to install machine sync antennas on combines?

Everything for every piece of technology should come installed from the factory.

We’re supposed to push this stuff, but sometimes all it does is make life harder.

[John Deere Salesman @Deere_Salesman]

Last year: Order all your combines day one of early order or you won’t get them

This year: Nobody is putting in orders yet.

Oh how the market swings

[John Deere Salesman @Deere_Salesman]

It’s funny how some negotiations end in the customer saying “you don’t want my business”.

We don’t ever “not want your business”. We just have to make smart decisions for our business, same thing you’re trying to do for yours.

I hate the phrase “the worst they can say is no” because one time I asked a girl to dance and she told me “life is to short for fake turquoise and ugly cowboys”

It’s amazing how one sunny am warm day can make call volume go from 0 to 100.

With GPS globes becoming more available, I want you guys to know that the biggest face of disappointment/anger I’ve seen to date was offering a guy $1500 for the Starfire 3000 he bought for $5000 last year.

It turns out maybe stuff was inflated?
