@Cetter15 Apparently I’m on the wrong branch of the family tree…

@blakealbers At 33 I’m realizing this in a hurry.. seems I’m over the hump of gaining folks.. really puts things in perspective.

@5150Farms Alec at ASM labs in Central IL is a pro at this. Look him up. We sell quite a bit of land and recommend the buyers look into it. https://t.co/43yt5DJu0t

@GoddessofGrain I kinda like the term “donnydollars” myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

@jasonmauck1 Take away the safety nets and watch ag slowly return to way things were done 40-50 years ago with today’s tech.. sounds pretty awesome to me actually..

@thomas_toohill @BigAgRuinsAg Wait till your neighbors corn emerges, then start getting the planter out Tommy T buckets! I’m no expert but it has worked for me the last 3 years.

@BenRiensche Have had landowners I manage for call and say the same thing.. I just tell them we’re lucky they’re not assessing us at 1/3 value like they do residential.. that would be no bueno..

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@HANK_it56 Some corn in ECIL dry pockets starting to call it a year.. Diseases sure won’t help.

@FoulkShay Glad he’s ok! Agree, mowing roadsides is lame…

@clintwfischer Seen a few solar option agreements that are all “solar solar solar” right up until the final draft they sneak in “data center”… two totally different ball parks on pay structure!

@jvin248 @jasonmauck1 I love this, I’m small time but my kids said they wanted to go on a Disney cruise, and they would pay for it. So we got some chickens and planted some sweet corn for them to sell, will do more if they keep showing interest… they’re 4 and almost 6…

@takhtehchianmd Put the big fella in against Purdue for a series or two. I don’t care if he has a cast on or not, the fans need to let him know we want to see him next year… someone get that memo to Underwood!

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@jasonmauck1 Put together a sample to test, I’ll volunteer as tribute!

@sf28430 As a farm manager, it’s funny when the mail comes and there’s 6-10 of them… I would at least delete duplicates via excel if it were me 🤷🏻‍♂️..

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@jasonmauck1 I tell my wife that I hope to grow big enough that my kids can start calling the shots on a farm or two at a young(ish) age. May love it, may hate it, at least they’ll be confident in their “I do(n’t) want to farm) decision when it arrives…

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@jasonmauck1 Thats been one of the fun parts of being a first gen farmer, no legacy tribes to follow.. Learned the hard way old hats don’t like when we ask questions even when they say they’re “adaptable”.. I’m a blank slate, more interested in what makes sense, keep it simple..

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@CBKimbrell Come to Central IL, I’m a broker/farm manager and a farmer. We had a good year and there are still deals to be had.. local markets for sure.

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@jasonmauck1 Weed control work well throughout season with the rye mat?

[Ross Perkins @PerkinsR50]

@clintwfischer Unsure of the operations financial depth, but could it buy a house in town to “rent” to the next gen couple? Maybe even a nicer retirement friendly house that the sunsetting couple could swap into towards the end of the transition.

@Bkitch1Bodie You have any net numbers? Always dig kitchen sink trials!
