The amount of people that will give up on US politics after what transpired with @RepThomasMassie in Kentucky District 4 will go down in history books………

@leereichmuth @TroyHadrick @mbacowboy B bone maturity carcasses (30-42 months) are eligible for choice and prime, they just need to be one marbling score higher to achieve the same grade- need to be modest, not small to be low choice. C, D, and E bone are not.

@mattygilbert It’s as good as you can get in saline spots, the rest of the piece or other soil types should have something different planted. Tall wheatgrass, the work horse in salt spots, is not very palatable.

@rockhillsranch I am getting close to committing after being sceptical for a long time…. I don’t know if I will ever get all my questions answered without trying it out myself.

[Jared Knock @jdknock]

@rockhillsranch I’m going to have to check a few spots. Pretty early!

[Jason Mauck @jasonmauck1]

This is the fallacy of “we’re only 1-2% of the population”

If you’re running a decent size operation you’re more like .02% of the population… or 1 in 50,000

I think this a true observation. Humans are pretty impressed with what we can build and often dismissive of the innovation and design which is inherent in Creation.

[Jared Knock @jdknock]

@5thWave_tcronin I fully agree with the opposite of what they said.

[Jared Knock @jdknock]

@rustbeltkid1 @FoulkShay It does not seem ideal…

[Jared Knock @jdknock]

@rustbeltkid1 @FoulkShay So a new type of CRP program that allows grazing on what was farmland previously, could save taxpayers, build the cow herd back to a place where we are no longer dependent on imports to meet domestic demand, and manage oversupply of principle crops. And, reduce fertilizer needs.

[Jared Knock @jdknock]

@rustbeltkid1 @FoulkShay Thanks-I get rolling on there sometimes and don’t articulate myself well- that’s for my CO, but for many central SD counties, the total gov expenditure for all farm subsidies(sub portion of crop insurance, ARC/PLC, FBA, etc.) EXCEED the farm rental rate for the co.

I’m happy to say the very first RCT on a primarily carnivorous beef based diet has been funded and will commence shortly! I’ve been pushing for this to happen for years and it’s finally happening. This will be the first of many!! (Thanks NCBA, Texas, Nebraska, and South Dakota cattleman and a few more donors)

@sodakchad @SBakerMD Yes. Excited that the SD Cattleman’s Foundation could play a role in helping this come together with funding and facilitation.

We live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and I’m constantly being told that I need to buy crypto.

There’s a lesson here. ⬇️

@BreatheLesss Read when I was 16. Fantastic thing to do at that age. Understanding the difference between objective and subjective was key to navigating adolescence.

[Ryan Heiniger @FarmrHuntr]

We already have a strategic beef reserve. First and foremost, what do cattle need?

Grass

We have 24 million acres of grass in CRP

Cattle Restoration Program

Fence it
Drill wells

Let young farmers and ranchers get busy raising beef

@Ford_Nick Lamb or pork

@johnkempf I believe van Helmont asked this question 400 years ago too.
