If you do custom farming or machine hire in Kansas, please consider filling out this survey. It's used by thousands every year to negotiate and establish custom rates, develop crop budgets, negotiate sharecrop and cash leases, and more! https://t.co/jecIinMNEg

@kyleplattner Anyway we can get land legals on the Op Center map. It helps to locate a new farm that needs a boundary.

This is why I choose to raise my family in Kansas 🙏🏻

@BartParks @ahorinek @rockormiston2 @luke_jaeger @mjaeger6 @AMillershaski Same thing on Deere sprayer. Tried calibration multiple times before replacing wheel angle and that was the fix.

@ksmesonet How can we get one in Cloud?

[Luke Richard @LrichardLuke]

@GeezaColeman @danbloomer1 Where can I buy one?

[Luke Richard @LrichardLuke]

@GeezaColeman @HarrisonSchust1 @ipaddockapps @KennethCassel Does it provide broadleaf in grass for pasture applications.

@GeezaColeman @AsphaltCowboy11 @JohnDeere @LandMarkImp @CormanWill For the residual/broadcast tank I will actually flip the SAS adapters to angle 40degrees forward and those are tp6503 which is SS flat fan just with a smaller orfice.

@GeezaColeman @AsphaltCowboy11 @JohnDeere @LandMarkImp @CormanWill We have a SAS ultimate. For Pre/Burndown we use Teejet tp6506 nozzles with a 40degree angle adapter. Here is a link to explain the adapters. https://t.co/4ET9oc4C7l

[Luke Richard @LrichardLuke]

@GeezaColeman @AsphaltCowboy11 @JohnDeere @LandMarkImp @CormanWill The tp6506 is just a stainless steel flat fan orfice. The angled adapter is what changes the direction to allow for more time.

• If the farmer had a sprayer equipped with See and Spray then the weed pressure map can be overlayed in real time during the second pass.
• Overlay a elevation map in real-time so when harvesting you can still see terraces even when the corn is 8ft tall.

Apple vision pro utilizes triple layered glass to so users can see the outside world but still can utilize sensors and display graphics. While the goggles look goofy this technology can make a huge impact for agriculture.

How augmented reality helps heavy equipment operators.
• Highlight field boundaries to avoid off-target application
• Real time variable rate prescription overlays so we can see if our rate is changing properly to prescription.

2024 Predictions and Trends 🔮

1. There is a story in Soybeans, there isn't a story in Corn. Expect fireworks in Q1-Q3 🌱

2. A republican candidate will win the presidency in 2024, most likely Donald Trump, otherwise Vivek Ramaswamy. Implications for Ag and Energy are massive - do not sleep on this probability of either winning 🇺🇸

3. Continuation of new low carbon fuels programs at the state level will continue. What started in California has now taken over the West Coast. This will continue to spread east and give an outlet for Corn and Soybean based bio-fuels, even if miniscule changes occur at the federal level ♻️

4. Bitcoin will trade north of $80,000 with the adoption of a physically backed ETF as well as daily supply issuance halvening (900 bitcoins - > 450 Bitcoins/day) 💰

5. The Federal Reserve will be forced to cut interest rates within the first several months of 2024, because "politics". The result will be inflation ticking up again, but mainly in financial and real assets at the expense of the Dollar💸

6. Traditional futures exchanges will continue to blur the line with crypto exchanges due to competitive nature. We've already seen some crypto exchanges cross-list traditional futures on their own exchanges that settle to traditional futures contracts, opening up additional capital to markets. This will continue to be the trend in 2024 and beyond (Investment = Buy Coinbase stock)💹

7. GrainStats🌾will continue to grow and provide the best Ag Market content on the internet. We will also launch premium services to support the best people in their journey of markets and agriculture that simultaneously save time and make money in a very fun and technological way 🤠

We're in a funny-money global economy. I don't know how it ends or when, but holding wealth in assets - especially farmground - seems wise at any price as inflation will help you pay it off. And if you lose it? Hey, you would of never had it had you not rolled the dice. Life is an adventure.

Corn or soybeans? 🤔
