Dad, husband, farmer, I'm told I am interesting.

@MaxROIFarmer $1300 air compressor from JD, $300 delivered to my door from Surplus Center.

@FoulkShay Finalization date with penalties.

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@FoulkShay Hey, get that wrapped up. We have things to do next week.

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@jessefast730 @GrnStarSamurai Check your globe heights in both the isobus page and equipment setup page. We had this last year and the iso height was zero.

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@BEisenhart Don’t be hangry, just don’t eat any processed food. At all. Eggs, meat, fruit, nuts, etc... Exercise every day. Zero beer. Same height, maintain 175 with 20-45 minutes exercise daily and I am never hungry.

@bprofit09 It's truly dumb. If I'm first base coach and you show up with pads all over, you get to carry them around the bases with you. Fix that crap real quick. And don't even think about putting that oven mitt on.

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@ksufearless @FarmandOil Correct. Brace it, span the inside with something, jack it up, back a trailer in and drive it where you want. Have done 2 this way.

@SoMN_Stripper You work after dark?

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@Bkitch1Bodie @JaysonWillimack @JMCampbellFarms @corn_porkNbeans Wouldn’t worry about it. Make sure you have concrete and room for a skid loader. Sometimes it’s a lot, sometimes it doesn’t matter. Corn moisture, drying in the rain, etc…. Zero fines, so just bees wings. Love our Neco.

@cfarms76 Machine time is fair. Man hours are donated.

@JGreenFarm Must be nice! Muddy on top, but nice strips.

@sanegrain It's important to know a snow shovel is better than a scoop shovel. Buy the cheap ones with no metal edge. School of hard knocks taught me this.

@naumandusty @Citrowske_L Active yield off, do an advanced cal. Less than 1% off of cart, cart was off 4 bushels on 5000 bushels across the scale. Close enough.

@HuntIllini1997 @ksufearless This is a really good article that explains how TW works. Worth a look.

@HuntIllini1997 @ksufearless Irrelevant. I'll try once more. Popcorn has a very high test weight, like 70. Why? The kernels are small and they fit tightly together. Big kernels won't fit so tight, leaving air space in the test cup. You can have high kernel weight and low test weight. You should grow popcorn.

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@HuntIllini1997 @ksufearless Total weight is all that matters. Test weight is a volume measurement. We don't sell volume.

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@HuntIllini1997 @ksufearless Kernels don't matter. Do you want 60000 lbs at 56 lbs or 56000 at 60 lbs?

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@HuntIllini1997 @ksufearless If you have a test plot. My seed gets 56000 lbs at 60 lbs and yours gets 60000 lbs at 56 lbs, which variety do you plant next year?

[Ben Fehl @BenFehl]

@HuntIllini1997 @ksufearless Total weight is all that matters. It doesn’t matter how many kernels we have. Bigger kernels, more air between them, lower test weight, higher total lbs. small kernels, less air between them, higher test weight, lower total lbs. This is not absolute.
