Every farmer has 90%-100% optional unit coverage in 2026 and it’s completely free.

It’s called ARC-IC, an alternative to ARC-CO/PLC.

You just have to know how to sign up and which farms to do it on.

Already seeing examples of payments at $100+/acre on underperforming farms.

If you don’t try it yourself you’ll never know. I started project keep the soil green on one test for 4 years. Yields spoke for themselves. Now more than ever in a drought. Every irrigated farm for sure will have something living/growing on it as long as the crop allows. Only breaks will be harvest. Wheat fits the cows and crops. Doesn’t have be complicated cover mix

@Winterquistboys @schrieferranch @MatthewCKrueger We put money into the HSA savings account that is tax free every year to “meet” the deductible. I agree it sucks. But for us it was the best option for a type of catastrophic insurance

@bajabrian420 I would say we should start doing that. Thank you for the idea. Where do you get them

First photo is the old hitch. Second is the new one. Lucky we caught it before it broke.

@steffensenry25 @CaryKelly11 @SBakerMD I’ll send you some of our beef sticks. There is a very small amount of sugar in the spice blend and that’s it. Our jerky is the same.

[Kelly Garrett @KellyGarrett75]

@steffensenry25 @CaryKelly11 This is exactly the type of story @SBakerMD talks about. I’ve battled diverticulitis throughout my life. If I stay off sugar I don’t have a problem. It feels good to feel good

[Kelly Garrett @KellyGarrett75]

@steffensenry25 @CaryKelly11 It’s a tremendous experience.

@steffensenry25 @gwiesefarms She does hold a big edge. But we can do a better job of managing

I think at the stage of life you’re in things get overwhelming. I know they did for me. There’s not enough time to be a good dad, husband, farmer, and take care of yourself. And I think this overwhelming time is more about the age your kids are at than your age. I had kids earlier than you did. And my overwhelming experience was when my boys were the same age as yours.

In short it’s a very busy time of life. Keep your head above water and enjoy it. I wish I could go back to that time now. It gets easier my brother.

@DanAllred1 He likes to try every one of them. 🤦🏼‍♂️
