Corn/Soybean farmer in the Platte Valley in central Nebraska. All our cropland is irrigated.

@FVCJeffW Yes it’s real.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

The weather is ridiculous.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

@JenSchweigert Very extensive, have no idea how they got it on and off.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

@cynicalmilkmaid I am finding that out as well. Some days are much worse than others.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

@anthony_schutz @4nsmiley And those that do have very divided ideas how this should be solved, hence why no solution has been approved.

@cynicalmilkmaid Prayers for your entire family. Embrace that he is now free and loving heaven. He’ll be missed here but live your lives to showcase his faith and values.

@anthony_schutz @crmilleriv That’s what I came up with. Evap per MWHr is 1.5-2.5 cubic meters. A hyperscale center consumes about 50MW, so 120MWHr per day.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

@anthony_schutz @crmilleriv Some back of envelope, literally, figuring along with Google searching gives very roughly 2 acre feet per day of cooling water consumption for a hyperscale data center.

Hauling car food today.

@redcloud_scribe That was exactly my reaction last night. Short handed, missing our post and one of our best shooters and it was a toss up.

@stevewhitenews @Sentinel_Ag @jenreesources I was very excited to learn @jenreesources was to revive this award. So deserving.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

So pleased and honored that @Sentinel_Ag named their Advocate Award after my wife who passed away on Christmas. First winner of this award is @jenreesources

The University of Nebraska debunks the manipulation behind cow farts/burps and methane:

“They have not accounted for the capture part, they only account for methane being released. Carbon capture in soil and grass - helped out by cow grazing and manure - can far outweigh the emissions from cattle. Grasslands can take up more CO2 and carbon in the soil and plants, that offsets the CO2 that cattle are producing but it also offsets the methane.”

@NebGradDubDub @FoulkShay Yup

@mocornfarmer I wouldn’t call a marriage with a Latina interracial. Also I really don’t care what color your skin or your country of ancestry is. Character means much more.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

@SugdenSteve The last 5 minutes of that game were nuts.

[Don Batie @dbatie]

@marciac95_ Don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t see imperfections. I see a life well lived.

Alabama is overrated. Indiana is making them look foolish.
