@tara_m_davidson Hmm....looks like a great idea. We got water but the issue is getting cows in and out of the mud.

Just any solar water pump work? You got a float on it then?

North Dakota Stockmen's Association is calling for a CME investigation after live cattle futures crashed $30/cwt.

Here's why.

The crash hit in late May. Fund selling, an NWS disease case, and terrible technicals triggered a bloodbath for hedged producers.

CME's response? Investigate the manipulation?

No. They widened price limits and lowered margins effective June 1.

Wider limits mean bigger daily swings. Lower margins mean more speculators piling in with less skin in the game.

The exchange didn't protect ranchers. It changed the rules to make the next crash easier.

You hedge to manage risk. Then they move the goalposts after you're already in the trade.

Breaking: It's now confirmed. China has granted a 5-year extension to hundreds of U.S. beef plant export registrations, marking the first major concrete movement in months on a trade issue that has significantly constrained access to one of the most important overseas markets for American beef. Those registrations lapsed in March 2025.

China has reopened to US beef after a 14 month closure.

I'm sure many will think this is complete 🐴💩and I totally get it... But, this pattern has been present in most modeling for quite a while. We need moisture/fuel in the air before we can really think about meaningful rain for the southwest High Plains...Springfield, Elkhart, Liberal, Dodge City, Boise City, Guymon, Clayton, Dalhart, Amarillo, Lubbock, etc. This is the precipitable water anomaly forecast from May 18th through the end of the month. Green good, brown bad and the higher the anomaly, the more fuel present to make the showers and storms work. We've struggled to get the fuel this far west/northwest all year. Looks like we have strong potential to change that...🙏 #desertfarmers #cowx #kswx #okwx #txwx #nmwx

Dear @realDonaldTrump @POTUS,
Consumers can choose cheaper proteins instead of beef if prices get too high. But when Americans pull up to the gas pump, they have no alternative. Focus on lowering fuel prices instead of attacking cattle producers.”

Dakota Gas has switched from making DEF to making granular urea at 46% nitrogen at their Great Plains Synfuels Plant near Beulah, North Dakota.

Capacity is 1,100 short tons per day.

Maybe we can just stop with the DEF altogether……… sure burning fertilizer in fuel is cool but having food is a fuck of a lot cooler.

The USA burns enough DEF in diesel engines per year to cover all of Canada’s farming fertilizer needs.

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

In the sandhills of western Nebraska, cattle ranchers Mike and Kayla Wintz were afraid they would lose their livelihood when the largest wildfire in the state's history burned their 11,000 acres of grazing fields.

But then, in remarkable examples of empathy, charity and grace, anonymous donations of hay started arriving by the truckload. @SteveHartmanCBS reports. https://t.co/xLXX0COsnW
