@JesseKellyDC That exact dream reoccurs to me a few times a year. Oddly enough only from my undergraduate years not grad school. I am walking by a building and realize I signed up for a class and forgot to ever go and will get an F. I wake up in a cold sweat.

@TaraBull808 Staying abreast of the news?

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

@TaraBull808 My brother and I did this ever since the bales outweighed us. You learn to use your legs! The day Daddy bought a round baler was reason to cheer! But we still put up small squares just not as many.

@TaraBull808 Some are fans of Coach Mike Leach (RIP). The pirate.

@MoniFunGirl The first concert I went to was Rush Hemispheres tour. Auditorium North Hall Memphis Incredible show incredible band. Totally hooked. I think I have seen them maybe 8 times and listened to them countless hours but you never forget your first lol.

@MoniFunGirl Bucks Boogie is a masterpiece!

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

@MoniFunGirl By the way original name of BOC was Soft White Underbelly. As in Italy was the soft white underbelly of Europe in WwII. Secret Treaties , ME262 and The Marshall Plan. All due to their being WWII historians of sorts. BOC was a very underrated band.

@MoniFunGirl Had it on vinyl for years. Also on CD. Keep it on a USB in my pickup. One of the best live albums of all time to me is On Your Feet or On Your Knees. Listen to that over and over wore the vinyl copy out!

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

@MoniFunGirl Rock and roll on vinyl AND a frequenter of shooting ranges. Awesome!!! One question. Do you play Fender or Gibson. My guess is the former

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

@MoniFunGirl Back up 3 years to 1974. Secret Treaties by BOC. If you have not heard it give a listen. 40 years later I still listen to it in awe of Buck Dharma.

@DOTRoadside There are at least 500 people here that are saying “that’s mine”. I have planted a few of those. Emergence is sketchy.

Dryland corn in the SE; it’s not all a disaster! #Agrigold A6659 Double Pro, 28,000 population twin row late April planting great job KPop Farms!

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

Some saving rains in the Carolinas but obviously a stressful year. Near Monroe NC with #Darkwaterwest evaluating an @AgriGold corn hybrid trial. Some promising new hybrids are taking the stress! #grow24 #drought24

@NoDMsPerfavore Blue Oyster Cult Secret Treaties.

@betsyindtx @AriFleischer I love a good parody

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

@LAFarms4U I agree. Nothing is perfect but I think this is a piece of the puzzle. We need more resilience for sure and the other benefit is the biological components of soil which we have ignored in the past.

[LesLloyd @SEfieldwalker]

An island of green in a desert of stressed corn. #Agrigold hybrid trial #plantedgreen and showing remarkable resilience in a challenging year. Impressed with the difference a good mulch makes. Scotland Neck NC . Thank you to our innovative cooperators!
