North Dakota was just ranked the top state for quality of life and also the state that gets the drunkest. I feel there might be a connection between those two honors.

@ozboogs @KeyKeytoMarz Nothing worse when you say it and get a blank stare in return. Kids these days. Smh

[Josh Howerton @howertonjosh]

The grandpa you laughed at behind his back for letting you watch violent war movies as a kid, but who freaked out about the Disney show where the kid had 2 Dads... that guy was right.

There was evil in the war movie, but it was generally evil depicted AS EVIL in a great struggle between good and evil, and it trained the consciences of a generation to value things like...

- Valor
- Self-sacrifice
- Courage
- Integrity
- Honor
- Patriotism (yes, patriotism IS a good thing)

My Dad used to say, "The worst kind person is the guy who was born on third and acts like he hit a triple."

Be wise, but watch a war movie with your kids today and help your American kid understand they were born on third base because a bunch of people died to get them three bases ahead.

@jamesdecker2006 Funny how they only reference glyphosate on what dessication causing all these issues which is a tiny % of the wheat consumed, but never mention how in 20 years a loaf of bread can now last 4-5 weeks with preservatives that the consume is directly putting in their body.

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know:

Farmers don’t have time for conspiracy theories.

Romanticize farming all you want, but without modern tools, you’d starve.

GM crops aren't frankenfood.

They cut pesticide use, resist drought, and improve yields, all while passing some of the strictest safety checks in science.

They are the least unknown crops.

Your food is safe. Period.
Pesticides are tested more rigorously than most medicines.

Farming isn’t killing the planet.

Modern farming uses less land, less water, and fewer inputs than ever before. Innovation is the solution, not the problem.

Organic farming still use pesticides. Some are more toxic and less effective than synthetic alternatives, meaning higher doses are needed.

If you really care about feeding the world and protecting the planet, focus on facts, not fear.

My name is Simon and my goal is to make people smarter, not angrier.

Drop a “Hi” in the comments and let me know if you have any questions about Ag!

@horterfarm @MichaelPanzier @gavin_spoor Dad had to literally make his own scraper for our gumbo ground. Problem solved works great. Also we bent the closing wheel 7 degrees. Case won’t adopt the scraper cuz it is a “regional problem” but yet we moved blades in many states.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonJO]

@gavin_spoor 7 degree bend on the closing wheels, yetter makes an adjustable bracket too, not sure on ground type but if it’s sticky mud and you’ve plugged up, we got a specialized mud scraper for the opening disc. Red E does good work.

@buperac Family that first came over lived their first winter in a river bank hollowed-out. Different kind of tough.

@bigwehrm @BradNimijohn Pump them up 3 more # than what they say. What our tire guy said to do, said they haven’t had any sidewall cracks since. Heads up tho that drive to the next field will be a little rough.

@4Chris4A That’s a stronger person than me 😂

In comparison, Montana State is 14-45 (.237) and South Dakota State 11-44 (.200).

Joe Pohlad and the Pohlad family aren’t just a disgrace to baseball, they’re a stain on the entire state of Minnesota.

Their story starts in the Great Depression, not as scrappy underdogs, but as profiteers who made their fortune foreclosing on homes of desperate families who had lost everything. From day one, they were taking from the poor to enrich the rich, and that ethos has never left them.

For decades, the Pohlads have been infamously cheap, demanding that Minnesota’s taxpayers and fans foot the bill for their every whim. They’re not savvy businesspeople, they’re parasites.

In the early 2000s, they nearly let the Twins die. Attendance was down, they refused to invest, and the team was on the chopping block to be contracted alongside the Expos. The only thing that saved the franchise was a court injunction forcing them to honor their Metrodome lease.

By 2006, they convinced Minnesota to cover seventy-five percent of Target Field’s cost. A billion-dollar family, holding out its hand to working-class Minnesotans and demanding payment.

Fast forward to 2016, Jim Pohlad hires Derek Falvey to modernize the organization. For a moment, there was hope. Player development technology, advanced analytics, and a revamped coaching staff started to pay off. By 2019, the Twins won 100 games. By 2023, they broke their playoff curse. The arrow was pointing up.

Then Joe Pohlad took over, and steered the ship straight into the iceberg. He “right-sized” the team, gutted investments in talent and infrastructure, and erased the analytical and developmental edge the Twins had built.

By July 31, 2025, the gut punch landed: an all-time pathetic trade deadline where they dumped eleven players in a payroll purge disguised as a “fresh start.” It wasn’t a reset, it was a surrender.

The final hope Twins fans clung to was the idea that the Pohlads might finally sell. Now we know they won’t.

Joe Pohlad, and the rest of your dynasty of leeches, you are nothing more than generational thieves. You take from people who make less than you, give back nothing, and expect them to be grateful. Minnesota doesn’t owe you thanks. Minnesota owes you the door.

Fuck you, Pohlad family.
