@40Parks I have cheap spring downforce. Will do same thing. Double edge sword, only disturb small amount of soil no-till which makes that small strip the only amount to move with a fast rain.

Worst part is trying to patch it in to replant.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@cowbroker Do it! Built my own out of an old grain cart with hydraulic trap door. Use 2” crushed concrete to fill tracks. Done on fields and in hay.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@ahorinek I am right there with you. Almost seems like ugly farming when comparing to the guys with manicured ground. Yields still come in good.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@BrettBaker85452 We do this a lot! Amazing to watch neighbors fill in where water runs into road ditch every two years and cant figure out why they cant hold the draw. Man build a berm with a small culvert or put bale in center to slow the water down

@BeetfarmerDave @agtradertalk I have really started using this spring also. I don't feel like so much of a burden to other person but know if I do not send I will forget to ask.

The other folks have a life too, I try and respect that.

@directpivotpart Just had this happen to me. Had my item bought person bid on other items linked 3 or 4 more times then someone came around and ran me up on price. Hate It! Don't mind the bid extension for the last minute folks, but don't link together.

@TheeGrainLady That is why always .01-.02 below. Never worth waiting the 2 cents higher just to win at the coffee shop.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@cowtown_law I have 3 for my planters. Ag Express can test and fix them cheap! Unless the board is completely shot.

@dvanklomp Pictures of the bonfire that occurred?

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@laurafarms_ Fully treated 3.0 group beans made 97 last year. 125k planted pop on no till dirt.

Go low spend extra for good seed treatment

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@CBKimbrell Option B for me or C. Lotta guys barely scrapping by mid age that an extra farm would be a big boost for. Probably cares for land not fancy iron but appreciates.

Option C give him a shot! Hopefully he has a reputation in neighborhood. If I dont know him personally would pass.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@cattleNcrops83 Same around here a bit east of you. Lots of guys rolling today, not much moisture in worked dirt. No-till looks nice but cold yet.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@Iowacrops IDK what your trying to get at here. Pretty sure pasture fire coverage is not a thing.

Know the producer speaking personally. He give his heart to his cattle and the land. They have lost a lot but still working hard to have a successful season.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@FoulkShay Started using this morning.

So far so good. Lots to work through. So far marketing and sales dashboard is awesome! % sold avg price. Just need to take the time to enter all of my backdated data and really use this season.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@dvanklomp Go get a short wheelbase truck! I have had two now like this picture and love them. Usually buy for 5-9k enough brakes to stop any trailer and a whole lot tougher than a pickup.

Otherwise buy a gas pickup.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@FoulkShay I like the ideas. I have gotten the survey in mail last 2 years and make it a point to fill out.

Wish interface was nicer, seems like have to input same data 3 times. I think it it was easier and faster more would do also. Also my acres should be loaded survey to survey.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@FoulkShay Same thing here, mine was sitting at 4.76, next one 4.82. Steps all the way to 5.15.

Averaging contracts for CZ27 start next week and close in July also. Interesting perspective to walk into renewal meeting and be 50% sold on the next years crop.

[Ryan Hanousek @HanousekRyan]

@gwiesefarms Was in same boat couple years ago. New loan officer only wanted to tell me what to chase and that my goals were all wrong. Bank listened, moved me over to different loan officer couldn't be happier.

Still with bank, but always have small loans to keep relationships other places.

@stevewhitenews Is it still possible to get a flip phone for the kids? Calls only nothing else?

That is what I had growing up when others had smart phones and texting. Nice to be able to call when needed something but stayed out of all other stuff.

We are on team no phone for kids in future.
