I do my best to try and grow things for a living. KSU grad. And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, well, I have really good days.
Yesterday was a tough day. Went up to Marysville to watch them sell my late brother in laws cow herd. He built it from nothing to roughly 100 momma's. 20 years of work. He loved working with cattle and he also worked at the sale barn that sold them, it was tough for them too.
@DanSSHolden We live 2 hours away with our own cow herd & farm. Other sibling is three hours away. The farm is still going with row crops, hogs, and few cows. His Dad is 73 and doesn't want to do chores anymore, he's put in his time. The cows were solely Ryan's deal, he built it from scratch
They kept 8 pairs and two 4H cows to keep at the house and keep the kids doing chores, so still will have some of Ryan's legacy there. We bought two bred cows to add a little of Ryan's flavor to our herd, wish we could have bought more. They all sold good.
Don Landoll. 83. A remarkable small town industrialist. Mr. Marysville, Kansas. In an unforgettable plant tour six years ago, the respect for Don among his employees was very apparent.
Go back to extremely regional conferences (fifedoms as someone put it). Allow one transfer w/o penalty would fix a lot of the problems but won't happen. Nobody is getting hyped up for Nebraska/Washington, OU/S Car. But Nebraska/OU has got a lot of juice. LHN/ESPN ruined the sport
I am beginning to think College Football has a bit of an attendance problem brewing. Look at the thread below to see the crowds yesterday at Oklahoma, Penn State, UCLA, TCU, Maryland, SDSU, and FSU. π€―
What is the main cause? Unrealistic expectations? Economy? Apathy? Halloween?

Pretty shitty thing to say right after winning it all, getting the final out ball from a guy who has been grinding his whole career, who had a huge season, and who has earned the right not to be shamed about trying to get a big contract.
@SugdenSteve Haha yup 1 player. I'll be honest listening on the radio in the combine there were times I didn't know if we had the ball or Nebraska. Got to get roster printed off I guess! Yes they have showed a lot of fight and some shooting flashes in their 1st two scrimmages
@SugdenSteve It was the result we expected going in but I do enjoy playing and rooting against Nebraska. The game honoring Greg Sharpe made it even better
Tomorrow will be two weeks from the breakdown and the parts still haven't arrived. @AGCOcorp is putting their dealers through a great deal of unnecessary stress and hassle and they will lose customers over this deal
AGCO deciding to implement a new parts software in the middle of harvest has got to be one of the more braindead decisions their company has made and that's saying something.
