Is anyone looking for a roller crimper? We just don't use it as much as we thought we would.

@corn_porkNbeans @montebottens @swksfarmer My agronomist friend Grok who thinks he knows everything farming even though his server is 1000 miles from a cornfield. The heat of day tip is intriguing...

@CoverCropCoach Any idea of his fert credits from this much biomass Steve?

@partialtruth How about turkeys?

[Ryan Heiniger @FarmrHuntr]

Perfect job for autonomy?

Wonder how the sensors on @SabantoAg or @JohnDeere would perform under these conditions?

[Bonks @Bonks_n_Stonks]

This guy rented the rye crimper from the local county AG office. You fill it with water for weight. Do this every year with no till planting and you'll have your topsoil back within a decade. It's so sad seeing clay subsoil on tilled fields that should be black earth 😔

After 25 years of planting cover crops, what lessons has Trey Hill learned?

We need this program in Iowa. @GovArmstrong is the real deal for helping support farmers and hunters with this program piloted with North Dakota state funds.

What do you think @ZachLahn @RandyFeenstra @RobSandIA @adamsteen

Agreed 1000% @SecRollins that paving over prime soils for anything is a food security issue. However at same time @USDA data says we are losing 5 tons of soil per acre per year on cropland due to water & wind erosion.

Respectfully, this deserves even greater attention.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Another day, another ridiculous battle to destroy our farmers and their farmland.

New York’s decision to craft their own lax standards for ‘prime farmland’ to fast-track solar developments is a direct attack on American agriculture. In 2020, the exact year they stood up their Office of Renewable Energy Siting, they worked with @Cornell to downgrade soils that were long considered prime. This wasn’t an accident. It was engineered to fast-track solar projects on our best farmland.

For our farmers and ranchers, land is far more than acreage on a map. It is the ground that holds a family’s history. It is a generational heritage and legacy.

Our great ranchers and farmers feed this nation — we cannot allow prime soils to be paved over for unreliable energy that displaces our producers. Farm security is national security. @USDA stands with American agriculture, not green new deal mandates that sacrifice our farmland.

Thanks @johnrich for bringing this to our attention! We are on it.

Planting dryland corn in drilled Milo stalks. Surprisingly wet for 2” of rain so far this year. 10 years of no till has left a lot of residue.

[Straight Florida @StraightFlorida]

Behold: the final boss of suburbia.

This absolute reformed swamplord looked at a $40 pop-up tent, some 2x4s, and a John Deere, then declared war on sweating forever. You can take the Florida out of the sticks, but the sticks just built him a mobile yard command center with 100% shade and zero shits given.

He’s not mowing grass—he’s piloting a rolling redneck yacht through HOA waters, sipping victory while the neighbors rage-type on Nextdoor. One-man parade at 5 mph, full tiki bar vibes, eyesore upgraded to engineering legend.

Unfiltered Florida genius. Peak evolution. 🌴🍺
