@WoodyVa2 @WheatPete This was sprayed 2l of roundup 3 weeks ago, died back and this is the RE growth. Got screwed by the covercrop gurus

@WxOntario1 So far we have gotten lucky southwest of Exeter.

@agronomistag Currently working on a 6-7 year rotation with a good cattle price. 3-4years of pasture, strip tilled in the last fall for corn into a 3-4 cash crop rotation and repeat.

@unusual_whales @sircalebhammer without fixing the problem first? The US government doesn't seem like credit card people.

@farmerstrang Fell asleep on the floor of a Gleaner F many times as a little one. I have a 2012 9770 which is less complicated and does a good job, but I also just had a $700 bill for just coming out to the field for a small thing. Service is where the money is it seems.

Gloomy start to the day, rain tomorrow? We actually kind of need it at this point, forget about wheat quality. #FarmLife #harvest25

@untappedgrowth @FairHillFarm19 I want to do it all, even Mark Sheppard's world. I started planting some of his tree/shrub rows. I just have a real problem determining where the scale of hiring people comes in with such a mixed diverse operation. So basically, I need some human cloning tech please.

[Michael Groot @GrootFarmandR]

@untappedgrowth @FairHillFarm19 Sorry, I shouldn't have responded to your previous question before I actually finished the podcast. I have that book in audible yes, listened to it last summer I think. I think I need to hammer it again a few times.

[Michael Groot @GrootFarmandR]

@untappedgrowth @FairHillFarm19 I've been in this world for about 8 years, I know exactly what I need to do. How do you become a better people/time manager? I'm getting burnt out, might fire you a dm sometime if you don't mind.

The sand is showing its colours from that heat we had during grain fill. 👎 #farming #humbling

This having kids thing is finally starting to pay off. 10yo inverting some oats. Did she break down from not paying close enough attention? Yes, but I still do that sometimes. #farmgirl #FarmLife

[Michael Groot @GrootFarmandR]

@WxOntario1 Hey, I'd like to cut some forage oats that need 2-3 days to dry. How serious is all this rain that's being called now over the next week? Thanks for doing what you do!

[Michael Groot @GrootFarmandR]

@AlpacaAurelius I did this!

[Michael Groot @GrootFarmandR]

Always feel like a BTO when I'm planting this field. Almost 2k long on these lengths. Put it down and drive. #plant25 #notill #soybeans #

Here we go again. #BEEF #farming

[Michael Groot @GrootFarmandR]

Wet outside, may as well get wet inside to. Triathlon season is here. #farmfit #mayshowers

@CBKimbrell Bought a cheap bred cow quite a few years ago the same way, except the cow didn't survive. I bottle fed that monster Charolais and he did awesome. Wish the $600 cow would have survived to though.
