@CoachRyanParker Small world.

60 acres from finishing corn and the water pump goes. This tractor is great and many out there being used along with combines having the same pump. But ⁦@JohnDeere⁩ only has one new pump in the US and it’s in California. I guess I just don’t understand the supply chain.

Been saying this for a few years. It might be time. Schools could save the money and put it towards teacher salaries and education.

Hearing all these HS coaches getting forced out by parents makes me wonder how long before HS sports are intramural’s? Everyone will just play travel sports.

@MarkNel1026 I had corn stalks burn a month before planting beans. Yield was unaffected. Probably lost a little in nutrients but I don’t think it was very much as all the ash remains.

Travel baseball has turned into:

Pay tons of money to play.
Pay to travel.
Pay to stay.
Pay to watch your own kid.

And somehow… this became normal. Will it ever change or just get worse?

I really hope the State of the Union address gives us some better clarity as to whether Trump thinks he’s doing a great job or not.

it's fun to see how stupid some people actually are these days, ya know?

My dad making sure I’m planting close enough to the fence line

@RandyFeenstra Along with corn and soybeans below the cost of production.

[Angie Setzer @GoddessofGrain]

This bridge payment will do very little to actually help farmers. There’s no change, only cash that will likely be less than 50/acre, if they’re lucky, and will go straight to input providers.

Such great opportunity to do something different and they do exact same thing….

We hired a marketing staff member in Oskaloosa for over 100k and ever since he’s been here enrollment has went down and culture worse. Superintendents just love to spend tax dollars. Makes them feel big time. Enrollment is importantly at 8k tax money per kid.

@atrippyfarmer @PioneerSeeds When I do my own calculations typically I use 75,000 kernels per bushel and it’s been close

[Scott Van Veldhuizen @ScottJVV]

13777PCE no-till central Iowa mid April planted. Maybe the pollination issues will keep it under 300 but just barely. ⁦@PioneerSeeds⁩

[Scott Van Veldhuizen @ScottJVV]

@atrippyfarmer @PioneerSeeds My pioneer sales rep did the calculations using the pro farmer method. Stand count, length of ear in inches and rows around. Last year this method was 30 bushels below actual because we had a long slow grain fill. This year I believe it could be closer or overestimated.

A few examples of how numerous fields look in NC Iowa that will put a lid on yields.

Tough day to be a grain farmer. Too cold to golf, too windy to fish & corn down 10!
