Our local FFA chapter had their FFA week breakfast this morning for the community. Spent some time looking through the old chapter scrapbooks.

In the early 1970’s a large majority of the members had legit livestock operations. Not just a couple show animals for the county fair, but real and profitable herds bred for meat production. A way to learn animal husbandry, business acumen, and work ethic.

Now our entire county is fencerow to fencerow two crops - corn and soybeans. All the hogs are in concrete buildings owned by 3 or 4 different corporations, and the towns have shriveled up.

I can’t help but think we’ve lost the plot.

In the quest for maximum efficiency, we’ve extracted all the value from our own communities. Truck in fertilizer and chemicals by the semi load, haul off the animals hundreds of miles away for processing. The mom and pop tractor dealership who took care of their employees and customers is now part of a 30 store corporate chain.

All for maximal efficiency. Extract extract extract.

@conorsen @trdraaron Do you have a contact to a purchaser? Website I bought through over the years has a large “discount”/basis on the buy back. Would like to know some other options of places to sell back to.

@Chiefs Big win last night. Coach Reid made it to school this morning @dmayer4020 @DustinLMayer

@MichaelCrews6 @w_forw Thanks for sharing, never knew that. Is that pretty standard I guess? Meaning year in year out.

[🇺🇸 Daniel Mayer 🇺🇸 @dmayer4020]

@ChrisHudgison That would be a great thing in this scenario, given the number of times players are bouncing around. Would still give options for teams/players, but maybe slow it down and benefit the origin school for finding the talent. Thanks for explanation Chris!

Daylight Saving Time begins next week, with calls growing again to end the twice-a-year time change. Tune in tomorrow morning to find out why sleep organizations are pushing for standard time year-round — and how you can prepare to spring forward. What time would you prefer? ⬇️

Why is no one talking about the Port Strike?

Am I the only one concerned about it or is everyone just really unaware of what is happening 👀
Open you're eyes people

🤔 interesting display. As we get into YSB harvest, I’m hearing scattered dmg around.

Grain quality matters to your bottom line. A visual of our @SoybeanScience1 trial looking at grain quality with different desiccation timings. Personally, I like the look of the 'no desiccant' control best so far, but the data will tell. @MSSOY @MSUExtService @MSU_AG
