To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:

- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making audits almost impossible.

- All payments must also include a rationale for the payment in the comment field, which is currently left blank. Importantly, we are not yet applying ANY judgment to this rationale, but simply requiring that SOME attempt be made to explain the payment more than NOTHING!

- The DO-NOT-PAY list of entities known to be fraudulent or people who are dead or are probable fronts for terrorist organizations or do not match Congressional appropriations must actually be implemented and not ignored. Also, it can currently take up to a year to get on this list, which is far too long. This list should be updated at least weekly, if not daily.

The above super obvious and necessary changes are being implemented by existing, long-time career government employees, not anyone from @DOGE. It is ridiculous that these changes didn’t exist already!

Yesterday, I was told that there are currently over $100B/year of entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.

When I asked if anyone at Treasury had a rough guess for what percentage of that number is unequivocal and obvious fraud, the consensus in the room was about half, so $50B/year or $1B/week!!

This is utterly insane and must be addressed immediately.

@TerryHyra But but but.....your wheat😍😍😍

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

I'm shocked people are still buying wheat today, being they have been "limited tonnes" since Monday. 🙄

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

@MashaBelGrain @GrainStats Read the comments. That is straw.

Trudeau has provided a carbon tax exemption on home heating for families in one part of the country, but not here.

It’s unfair, it’s unacceptable, and here’s what we’re going to do about it.

I've found myself looking at these multiple times already this week. Just leaving them here in case you want to take another look/save them:

@rhofford Wet or not, if you have the man power for one just get it. It is unreal how much they speed up your harvest.....as long as you have the manpower to back everything up.

I think MGEX could rally to any price it wanted, but the cash price to the farmer is still going to be $8.00.

Who has the best system out there for monitoring grain inventory? Opi the best one still? Any new ones to look at? All comments appreciated

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

@ScottBilleck Will never forget the year Mark Scheifele broke his collar bone and Blake took that team and put them on his shoulders. He's a class act through and through. Will always be one of the top guys to ever play for this team.

@BaldurBarons What weather station is this Nyles? Do you like it?

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

@rhofford Grazon all day long.

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

@rhofford We run 2 8080's with sunny Brooks in them. Very reliable and good machines. Down side is in canola and the cracking if the grain gets to dry. The Sunny Brooks helps for sure but it's not a rotary by any means.

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

@kjaldgaard @BaldurBarons That might very well be true, but I would have to think the amount of moisture or lack there of with the could change that percentage ALOT!

[Craig Andres @CraigFarmlink]

@Lean1Mclean We got hit pretty hard to here last night. Couple inch down pour with hail. Honestly not to worried about stuff that looks this bad. Should come back.
