We sat on the high school bleachers the other night and I hugged my friend tight. Really tight.
Her dad was already dealing with Parkinson’s. Now, officially, dementia, too.
That’s life in our 40s. Aging parents, aging kids, learning to be the adult.

The wind is blowing 20 to 30 mph today and there are 19 windmills that aren't turning that I can count from my tractor seat,biggest scam there is.

Three years ago yesterday my heart decided to stop. The lesson- live your life because tomorrow is promised to nobody. Love with all you are and don’t sweat those not worth it, and trust me you won’t give a shit what you have for a combine in the back of an ambulance.

Sold the rest of my beans this morning. They will go to 12 dollars now, Your welcome..

[Evan @EvanLeake]

Little corn this morning, should be a good day to cut some soybeans today.

[Evan @EvanLeake]

Little rain shower this morning but #harvest2020 rolls on at Leake Farms. @LexingtonIL

[Evan @EvanLeake]

@NickHorob No, they own the land and the neighbor would gladly come take the farm if given the chance.

[Evan @EvanLeake]

@A27Killian Does your seed supplier give free replant? If not you’ll be paying the seed cost, your crop insurance won’t cover it. That’s the only downfall I see. Lots of people planting early though

[Evan @EvanLeake]

@CoBoJo_ @TillableInc In my opinion, the only thing @TillableInc is doing is raising every farmers input cost. They don’t have to pay the rising cost of iron,seed,chemical,fertilizer etc. squeeze the farmer a little bit more. Good relationship with the land owner is the key. Cut out the middle man

Another day in paradise. #Harvest2019 #JohnDeere #BruckerFarms

Another beautiful day in central IL, corn this morning switched to beans this afternoon.

[Evan @EvanLeake]

@LucasAHaag @jerodmcdaniel Planted an acre. 1 side with tarp /drip line. other without tarp and just drip line. Survival rate on tarp side is significantly less. #lots to learn.

[Evan @EvanLeake]

What a year.

[Evan @EvanLeake]

@ArlanFF101 We got 3” in Central IL last night.

[Evan @EvanLeake]

We lucked out on the rains over the weekend. #plant19 continues in Central IL

[Evan @EvanLeake]

@jhramer The corner inserts/shelving is sweet! Great idea.

Hell of a thread here. Tough to read even. More relevant than any story about bankruptcy I’m afraid....

Bad day of carpet farming #brokethespreader #futurefarmer #minime
