The real kicker to this is Lubbock did not receive any Fall 2025 rain either.

[West Texas Mesonet @WTMesonet]

Year-to-date rainfall across the region shows a sharp gradient, with much wetter conditions east. Several sites have now surpassed 10 inches, including a highest total of 13.09 inches at the Albany mesonet! #TxWx #WTxMesonet

@LDAMAX1 Looos good. I’ve never seen the double bar set up for sway? Just a single in the front: whats the thought there?

STOP WEARING POLYESTER CLOTHING!

Polyester is petroleum-based. It doesn’t breathe.

It traps heat, sweat, and chemicals against your skin.

Switch to:
Cotton. Linen. Wool.

@scottwestacre A tale as old as time

@TrumpDailyPosts Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

Polyester is a petroleum-based fiber, and research is showing that synthetic textiles can shed microplastics and carry chemical residues from manufacturing.

Does that mean you need to throw away your entire wardrobe? No.

But it does mean paying attention to what sits on your skin for hours every day.

Whenever possible, I recommend prioritizing natural fibers like cotton, wool, or linen.

@Aztech_Ag Been running one for a week strait now. Post a picture of the field conditions and I’ll let you know what I think. If the ground has moisture it should work fine. You need horsepower to do a good job

@gregzimpleman Odd rows do the planting, put in a 15” offset

I can only hope that even @elonmusk is struggling assembling a child’s Christmas toy tonight.

@CompetitiveAg @loucottonballs @HarmsStephen17 Could be right, I will say cattle are gaining traction here, I think if they stay high there will definitely be decreases in cotton acres.

[Patrick middlebrook @PatrickWadeM]

@loucottonballs @CompetitiveAg @HarmsStephen17 Also while on the topic, I don’t think the 115 dollars IF we get that changes much as far as planting intentions. Huge difference in getting 115 an acre and selling cotton for 75-80 cents and getting 115 an acre and selling for 55-60 cents.

@loucottonballs @CompetitiveAg @HarmsStephen17 ECAP has already been paid months ago. It would just be the orange FBA rates

[Patrick middlebrook @PatrickWadeM]

@HarmsStephen17 @loucottonballs @CompetitiveAg You got all of ecap or should have. Sdrp was the 35 percent

Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especially for China. We have been contacted by other Countries who are extremely angry at this great Trade hostility, which came out of nowhere. Our relationship with China over the past six months has been a very good one, thereby making this move on Trade an even more surprising one. I have always felt that they’ve been lying in wait, and now, as usual, I have been proven right! There is no way that China should be allowed to hold the World “captive,” but that seems to have been their plan for quite some time, starting with the “Magnets” and, other Elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of a Monopoly position, a rather sinister and hostile move, to say the least. But the U.S. has Monopoly positions also, much stronger and more far reaching than China’s. I have just not chosen to use them, there was never a reason for me to do so — UNTIL NOW! The letter they sent is many pages long, and details, with great specificity, each and every Element that they want to withhold from other Nations. Things that were routine are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken to President Xi because there was no reason to do so. This was a real surprise, not only to me, but to all the Leaders of the Free World. I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South Korea, but now there seems to be no reason to do so. The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate in that this was the Day that, after three thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there is PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I wonder if that timing was coincidental? Dependent on what China says about the hostile “order” that they have just put out, I will be forced, as President of the United States of America, to financially counter their move. For every Element that they have been able to monopolize, we have two. I never thought it would come to this but perhaps, as with all things, the time has come. Ultimately, though potentially painful, it will be a very good thing, in the end, for the U.S.A. One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

@QShieldknight Is it a close looped system where it would just need topped off every now and then or 1 acre foot per year? To me it just depends on how much money the water would generate the landowners, it’s not like pumping water on these row crops is a lot better solution right now.
