@GoddessofGrain Here in west Texas, we have 4 ladies on staff. They typically seem stressed when a deadline is approaching. We used to have 2-3 more on staff.

@josh_sayler @interstatebatts I’ve started buying batteries from the Lonestar truck group Freightliner house. Group 31 batteries with a year warranty for $89 each. The label shows they are a Chrysler truck group battery. Put some on late summer and they are still going strong. Great price at least.

@TroyBoyMcGann Looking good!

@OneManCircus87 Reminds me of the Ryans Steakhouse story 😂

@QShieldknight The one being built in Abilene is supposed to be the loop water system. Time will tell for both cities. We don’t have the aquifer here to support the one like Amarillo is getting, anyway.

@CBKimbrell I’m constantly bewildered that both sides refuse to find a way to work with the other. And they’re trying to tell us that difference of opinion is a personal attack that might require actual physical self defense. Common sense is highly uncommon these days.

@ClayGraves1 Meguires wax in the tub has worked wonders for me.

@cowbroker @OrinRomine Every time we go through from Texline to Raton, the crops and industry stops right at the state line. The ranches in NM seem to have plenty of grazing all the way to Raton, but I don’t see many cattle ever. I’ve always wondered what was up with NM with the agriculture limited.

@CBKimbrell @jamesdecker2006 I literally laughed out loud! The coyote and roadrunner came to mind instantly. You know the government would need organic grease, and that would cost even more than the black paint. It would also affect the livelihood of the 7 toed, side speckled tree scorpion!

@davidocker286 Amen

@CBKimbrell That stinks!!

@BrianBledsoe Texas rolling plains are starting to need it again. Maybe that’ll roll its way to us!

[Chris @cjbfarms]

@OrinRomine I’ve got some neighbors side-dressing and spraying potenza instead of mepiquat. Pretty much all in…especially for dryland. We planted a lot 3 times in ‘23, and that nearly killed us. 24 looked great here until that super heat wave in august. I’m a little gun shy.

[Chris @cjbfarms]

@OrinRomine And to your question, we usually have a “wait and see” attitude on highly expensive inputs. I might could pay all my bills if we made a bumper crop😎

[Chris @cjbfarms]

@OrinRomine We’ve got some really young, but we don’t usually get a freeze till mid November or later. Out older stuff and the customer that I tend to is really good. He’s got some decent fruit setting, and I’ve already pixed it once.

[Chris @cjbfarms]

@OrinRomine No prisoners for those guys!

@harkness_sean An is right. It works and fast! We have fiber close to us (15 miles) but I’m not convinced it would be much better. I would love a bit cheaper, though.
