Tax season complete for 2024. A crop season is a year long process from planning, preparation, planting, care, and harvest. FBFM members also benefit from year round services for optimal business planning and success!!

I've always pronounced it pot-ash. Is it actually PO-tash?

@BenBrownMU Might respondents have limited their frame of reference to Missouri farmers *who borrow*? I would have been guilty of that if I had been sitting in the audience.

Happy #FirstDayofFall, y'all! 🍂 As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, hardworking farmers are kicking off the harvest season.

Disappointed that they didn't give the coaches of these two Land Grant Universities a three legged stool.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Thanks to the hardworking farmers and ranchers across the country who make it possible to celebrate this festive holiday!

@ScottIrwinUI Say you are a 1,000 acre farm averaging 250 bpa. Last year your inventory could have been ~$1.6 million in the bin ($6.54/bu). This year at $4.75/bu the same inventory is $1.2 million and if nothing else changed, the CR went from 3 to 2.18. We can put our wager with Zwilling.

[Michael Gunderson @DocGundy]

@ScottIrwinUI I'd be willing to take the other side of that bet depending on your definition of "small"

[Michael Gunderson @DocGundy]

@RenMacLLC The wheat in Wheaties and the corn in Corn Flakes are a small fraction of the cost of your box of cereal. Economic research suggests you shouldn't be optimistic that softer commodity prices result in slower food inflation: https://t.co/cNNzDL48TH
