I'm out here trying to make grain marketing as simple as possible. If we can get rid of steering a tractor, we can make contracts, hedging, and insurance more straightforward.

@sanegrain Pretty similar. Dad was millwright at local seed plant. Ive got 3 boys and basically lay awake at night thinking how I can actually instill this before they become teenagers…

@carllippert @NickHorob While it burns my soul to say it, I would generally agree. I’ve learned the lessons and understand how the game has to be played now. While I never personally loved HPs marketing tactics it was totally fair and ultimately got results.

@blakealbers Whats the target customer? Local or a direct ship? I ask bc direct-ship fitness minded customers would be pretty focused on macros/fat %

@AgTechTed Whered you get cushions at? Amazon?

Made the 1000lb club today. 365 squat, 265 bench and 375 DL

[Eric Barnard @ericmbarnard]

This is literally me every night. I put the bed on the floor to make the roll off a little easier

[The Figen @TheFigen_]

A perfect escape. 😂

@GoddessofGrain Just wow

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

These have undoubtedly been the wildest 72 hours in French politics in my lifetime. Pretty incredible stuff.

@WheatTraderFCSt Signed up for a power lifting exhibition end of the month. Squat + Bench + DL … hoping my back doesn’t explode!

[Eric Barnard @ericmbarnard]

@sanegrain ADM gave me a hard hat. I felt like a pretty cool dude that first day.

[Eric Barnard @ericmbarnard]

@boydmyers Whats the 30lbs as far as a %? Is this like 1% a week?

[Eric Barnard @ericmbarnard]

@carllippert Couldnt agree more. One thing Id add is to use a pwd manager from day one along with the admin log. Whether you have to shutdown or deal with the surprise bills … you need the peace of mind that you can always access those things too

@Cornobbe @BenjaminNething @JahrausJoe This is a view of farming (for the last couple decades) that really makes sense. It would also IMO completely explain the struggles with getting good hired labor. You either need to bring them into the equity fold or pay competitively so that the investment is protected

[Eric Barnard @ericmbarnard]

@blakealbers I would concur on those numbers from when I left corporate to start our software company

Also is interesting to see how folks comments telegraph their own risk comfort levels

[Eric Barnard @ericmbarnard]

@clintwfischer Is this a situation where the heir is named, or are you crafting language that would define a bar if a problem were to develop? Equally, is there a path back to good graces?
