@Dusty3080467325 @GrainStats Maybe stay in your own lane in your rain fed states. That would be like me saying $350-$400 cash rent makes it unaffordable to grow corn.

I states should raise more vegetables/high value crops with that water then corn would pencil better out west where the cattle are…

@Bkitch1Bodie @AustinSundeen Haven’t pulled a field cultivator in 15+ years! Kinda miss it. Getting pulled out of school in 8th grade to run ahead of a corn planter I thought I was a bad ass. 8th grade was way more than 15 years ago too 😬

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

@Bkitch1Bodie Shoulda left em on one more tillage pass can’t hurt! 🤣

Worked ground isn’t firm enough to allow them to cut therefore it presses residue in. Seen guys run them in true no till just fine but really there they aren’t used much anymore at least out west and we have stripper straw

@TheChadColby @Salin247 Those center 4 rows look like a joy to fill

Wealthy again? Finding 31 billion compared to the national debt is like finding $31 in your couch when you have $39,000 in credit card debt. And you spend more than you take home every month.

[Right Pulse News @RightPulseNewss]

🚨BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP: They just found $31 billion! They said, 'Sir, we found $31 billion. We don't know why.' I said, is this a good or a bad find? This was a PLUS 31. We were used to finding negative 31 for the last 30 years. I said, 'check the TARIFF shelf.' Check it. He comes back 2 hours later - 'Sir, you were right. We have an additional $31 billion.' BILLION, not million, from tariffs. We're a WEALTHY nation again!

Simple poll. Please be honest! As of today, how much do you still trust and support President Trump for everything he did?

A. 100%
B. 50%
C. 25%
D. 0%

@Bkitch1Bodie If you look at gross revenue of corn or cotton that can be grown with the water needed for the project in the video it’s $1.7-2.9 mil annually to buy the acre so to speak. I bet that outfit wouldn’t blink an eye to write the check

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

Water use will become more about the value it creates & ag will be in trouble

Run the numbers
125 ac corn field 20 Inch Irr ~67.8M gal/year
2172 gal to grow $4.50 of corn

Cotton ~51M gal/125 ac

913M gal =1681 corn acres or 2241 cotton acres

Economics don’t support ag

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

A massive 18 million square foot data center is being planned north of Amarillo Texas along with a nuclear power plant to power it

Cotton farmer says the Texas panhandle is the largest US cotton producing region and the water needs of the data center will wipe out the industry

Many residents in the area rely on well water too which will be likely wiped out

The initial agreement with the City of Amarillo supplies 2.5 million gallons per day from municipal sources under a 20-year contract

They can use 912.5 million gallons of water per year

This will be devastating to the people who live there and rely on this water

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

I say all this not to make a case for data center or some other outside use but to get ag producers thinking about the topic before it’s too late. The fight over water has only begun I’m afraid.

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

If data centers look bad wait until cities need more water. Bottle up what it takes to grow one circle of corn per year and sell it at $8-$10 a gallon in gas station and what is it worth compared to the commodity grown?

I’m afraid the people have to eat argument only goes so far

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

Cotton with same estimate and yields on top end of what was mentioned in video

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

Here is some math

Corn with estimates on water use and yield

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

@Bkitch1Bodie The thing about Weoc I learned is it’s always in flux it’s not a pH or OM number that is much more stable. I pulled hundreds year to year same locations to monitor and they would move 50-100% up or down with no management changes. Just a cycle.

@KernelKramer @ajw545 @591actual The age old argument: do you want beaver huts the size of your house or Draper dips. Simple as that!

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

If only I had a cool ear board. These things are monsters! This will be knocking on 300 at 22k population

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

@Bkitch1Bodie I was referring to water.

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

@blakeahadley @Agronomy365 You can have the most comprehensive soil test imaginable and if you’re zones are shit it’s worthless data. Just sayin it goes both ways.

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

@fultojp @AgLeaderTech 30k as economic optimum for 150? I did yield estimate north of that today at 12k population

[Cory Gilbert @OnTargetAg]

Weather app this morning on rain chances for tomorrow

70% chance Min 0.25” - Max 2.06” - Likely 0.18”

Cover all the bases and you’re never wrong I guess
