@agpolicywonk And at least in my part of the world, it is not outside investors

@wil_da_beast630 Meat raised in “humane” conditions is readily available. Seems people answer surveys in a different way than they actually spend their money.

@mungowitz Where is this free fossil fuel coming from?

Look, i understand that the mandates are awful economics. But given the octane advantage from ethanol, the mandates are not driving use-instead, it’s being constrained by the 10% limit on use.

[Blake Hurst @HurstBlake]

@mungowitz Lots of reasons to oppose ethanol, but this isn’t one of them. Not that I oppose ethanol, since I’m a rent seeking farmer, but ethanol trades at a cheaper price than wholesale gasoline, even taking decreased mileage into account. And, as a farmer, I pay for all the energy I use.

Their Coffee Is More Toxic Than Glyphosate
Last week Del Bigtree (@delbigtree) and Food Babe (@foodbabe) rallied outside the Supreme Court against glyphosate. I've met these people. I exposed them in my films. They are not honest brokers.
And they weren't alone. Cory Booker (@corybooker) and AOC (@aoc) are taking the bait on Glyphosate as evil— politicians I respect on a lot of issues. But not on this one. The science doesn't care about your team.
The global scientific consensus is clear: the EPA, EU, Canada, Japan, and Australia have all concluded glyphosate does not cause cancer at real-world exposures.
Oh — and their coffee is more toxic than glyphosate. Scientifically speaking.
More receipts coming. Including a deep dive into IARC — the organization behind the "probable carcinogen" claim — and why they'll be front and center in my next project: TOXIC
Stay tuned.

@Romy_Holland I’ve lost all my grandparents, and would give quite a lot to hear the same old stories again. Dad is 91, and the stories are winding down, but I always listen. Y’all are lucky to have stories to listen to.

@FreeTradeBryan Might check his former employers. Helped them lobby for countervailing duties on phosphorous. Strangely enough, those tariffs didn’t come up today.

A cry for help. Invest in my future

@FreeTradeBryan @USTradeRep @USDAForeignAg I’ve been trying to figure that out as well. One ag economist told me they are counting promised purchases from various trade agreements. I’m going to try to pay my repair bills with those promises, but I’m not optimistic.

My brother holds forth. Worth a watch.

@SethMeyerMU As far as I’m concerned this a feature, not a bug. When farm level prices increase, (and they will, right?) the consumer won’t notice. Wall Street rewards companies with essential products that are able to increase prices without making much difference to the final buyer

[Blake Hurst @HurstBlake]

@1farmbusiness @BrianWillott when the price of corn goes up I sell at the Market price. Why would we expect fertilizer companies to not sell existing inventory at market price? If the war ended tomorrow and the world price dropped, farmers will expect the retail price to drop to the world price and it will

@iamyourfarmer I’m really trying to decide whether, at 68, I have the energy and time to figure it out and use it on my farm. I’m intimidated by the guys who are so far ahead that I’m not sure I can catch up.

[Blake Hurst @HurstBlake]

@iamyourfarmer I’m not trying to be difficult. I really enjoy your feed and I think you are one of the smartest guys I follow. I’m concerned about AI, but also think there are great opportunities. I think people investing billions now will lose their shirts, but we’ll all eventually benefit.

@iamyourfarmer Well crap my source was wrong. By a lot. I use the web site a lot. Wonder what else they get wrong?
