@Dusty3080467325 My great uncle and his sons were ranchers and wheat farmers about 10 miles southwest of Vega. Wide open country but beautiful in a way. Tough people to survive and thrive out there.

@JeremyOlson12 @MNSoilFertility @UMNExt @UMNswac UM fertilizer recs were very low until maybe 6-8 years ago when Dr. Kaiser arrived. They want high nutrient levels but don’t make recs high enough. The concern in Spring is chloride on beans but most are spreading ahead of both crops.

@Dusty3080467325 The comments of uneven emergence are hilarious. Try planting when the seed lays in cold soil for 2 weeks in MN. Also the comments about residue in the row are interesting. Ever grow corn on corn?

@Dusty3080467325 Put the appropriate size tillage tool behind that and watch the narrow tracks spin out.

@longgonejohn81 I read that maybe the movie Monsters Inc was about adrenachrome.

@TimRunsHisMouth I wonder if the money given was a tax free grant or is it counted as income? See if the Somalis are cheating on taxes and charge them for tax evasion like the government convicted Al Capone.

@DryCedarFarms USPS just trying to make it look like their slow delivery sucks less.

@GuntherEagleman @GizmoMemes What agency gives permits or approvals to open and operate a child care facility in MN? They should be questioned and held responsible.

@DiamondandSilk How much are you being paid to advertise for John Deere? Agriculture is not your forte so this doesn’t add up.

@GWANJEZ @Carbongate Isn’t she the one who pushed only organic farming in Sri Lanka and the people were starving. She is clueless about food production. Don’t listen to her.

@coffee_anytime But they can’t spell “Pledge”

@joeroganhq Yes it is more important.

@thefarmerette Turkey litter is a continual frustration. Available nitrogen content is maybe 20% of what the analysis claims. We almost ignore any N. Turns into very high priced P&K.
Don’t get me started on trying to do different treatments of anything.

@SpacePlowboy DEF in diesel engines causes way more problems and lost productivity on more days than sunspots.

@Dusty3080467325 @LineRed8039 The song “I owe my soul to the company store” with China being the store. Chinese own Syngenta with unlimited credit for Brazil farmers. China spent Billions on infrastructure. They will be top 5 largest farmer within 10 years.

Pig farmers aren’t just raising pigs – they’re raising a future. 🐷

Tracie and Dave Mensink are protecting the soil, water and air, so their granddaughters can one day raise their families on the same nurtured land. 🌱

@GrainStats I’d like to see his math.

I’ve heard a saying “a guy might have good yields but his tax return is more honest”

[Van Larson @VanLarson63]

@matt_montgo Well earned. Congrats
