@FedEx @FedExHelp your claim service is terrible. I made a claim because you delivered a package to a different house than mine. I do not need 3 emails that say the package is delivered with a picture of the package at someone else’s house. I just want to know where it is.

@MdMcLean1 Okay thank you I’m debating trying some wheat and don’t have a drill at this point so looking at options. It would be on low quality ground so that tweet caught my eye.

@CBKimbrell Also who profits from the “solution” of said problem

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@CBKimbrell No I feel I’m trying to understand them better. Lots of bar fights started with overhearing a comment with no context and Twitter is no different.

@4720john @motherbin1 I read an article where the Demco field bin could. I’m not endorsing it just saying there should be one that can.

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@Cornfrmr You know these will be reported as a problem due to covid, not a problem due to our government’s choice of solutions right.

@sethnaeve Why should producers not push fm to the limit? Exporters buy dirty or damaged beans at high discounts to blend with clean beans to get to the limits for export and make extra money for it. Why shouldn’t farmers.

@moo4isu Our school went virtual because to many bus drivers had it and they couldn’t pick up the kids. They will be in person starting tomorrow.

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@moo4isu Our school went virtual for 2 weeks and my son (9) struggled with it the work was fine but just the not seeing people. There have been some transmission in the middle and high school mostly through sports, but from an elementary standpoint no kids have got it from school.

@CBKimbrell You didn’t go high enough. Have one with 12,000 hrs only time it had more than a wear item issue was when dad rolled it on its side. The other is 7,900 with nothing of in season repairs but they are early 90’s tractors with little computers or electronics.

@Cornfrmr 379 for the outside, 386 for the inside

@MdMcLean1 I can remember when we got cell phones and could call somebody that was there already to see how bad it was.

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@pedersoncasey I think it’s ok for a couple more days

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@CBKimbrell I seeded down 40 acres that would usually be crop ground that will be pasture and hay. Not in a Normal rotation Also left 5 acres idle to do some dirt work and tile. Plan on taking out more unprofitable acres as I can find a use.

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@pinchehonkey I think it would depend on how variable the ground is. If you have lots of change in one pass Bells and whistles will have a better likely hood of better ROI. So on 2 different fields could have different results.

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@hehisself @Mr_Black_Cotton According to the CDC 7,700-8,400 Americans die each day. (Couldn’t find world numbers) So this is not changing the the global death rate a significant difference. In local area’s it is changing significantly. Take precautions but the world is not ending.

@SchmidtJerod @Jakeoilfarm Thank you, have wondered that never had an articulated tractor but may in the future.

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@SchmidtJerod @Jakeoilfarm With the mounted planter and articulated tractor do you have any issues when turning while the planter is down. Not sharp turns but gradual when the outside is not straight?

[Michael Charbon @MichaelCharbon]

@sandymcewan @MdMcLean1 @Shawridgefarm @PetkerFarm Having taller stalks will help keep chopped stalk in place from wind. Water still moves them. I don’t notice in contoured hills but flat ground where ponding occurs.
