@mazemoore Life is short. They stole years from the people

[Randy @RandySwestka]

If every row crop field had 100’ grass headlands, with some field size assumptions (qtr cut sections), acres could be reduced 8%.

@JamesPieper10 PT sprayers are underrated. Get a second PT sprayer to use only for the fertilizer with Y drop. Cheaper to maintain than all those bearings on a coulter bar. + keeps your other sprayer clean of fertilizer & be a starter tender if needed at planting time.

@FoulkShay Cost of SxS these days has me thinking a used minivan would be an option

@zackyoungquist @_TheMizzouTiger @Srm67 @deutmeyer_troy @PrecisionPlant How can I get some of this?

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@deutmeyer_troy The old adage of “a bean on top every now and then” isn’t ideal planting depth? Serious question: what is ideal soybean planting depth?

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@deutmeyer_troy I struggle with N valuation of manure. I see you use 60% availability the first year instead of 100% total N. Why is 60% availability preferred?

@_TheMizzouTiger @BradyD78 Having 0 machinery debt does not mean zero equipment cost. Ground engaging parts wear out. Things need fixed; oil changed. Insurance.

@slmandel I bet they reached out on Snapchat.

@TicTocTick I’ll say $49,995 Bob.

@J__Sherrill I agree. Don’t get me started on market manipulation…lol

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@J__Sherrill @SmiejaTrevor Re-read what you are describing for your reasoning. Now read it again putting yourself on the other side of the table as someone seeking liability damages.

@jboom5 @Bkitch1Bodie Don’t dump it. Just run it.

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@Bkitch1Bodie Seems they all cost the same thru the shop, it’s just how big the ownership payment is that varies.

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@Citrowske_L @5150Farms Does it stay real-time? I’ve heard some have quite a delay. Curious about your thoughts…

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@yenterfarms @FoulkShay Same with hogs. I think they like to break stuff for the fun of it.

[Randy @RandySwestka]

@FoulkShay That’s why I usually refill fuel, do greasing, clean air filters at the end of the day by flashlight. Plus, no one interrupts asking me to help with any repairs at that time of day. Even the hogs are calmer at that time of day for livestock choring.

@moo4isu Store and ignore

@stoolpresidente The game is in Ames. Why do pizza elsewhere?
