Enjoying growing cover crops and trying to implement systems grazing while keeping inputs low. Also grow commodities and getting started with organic. #bitcoin
For thousands of years people have known how to grow food, sew clothing, treat sickness with food and herbs, build shelters and survive. It only took 2 generations to erase those skills from humanity and make us completely dependent on and at the mercy of the system.

@McNeilBJ Have you tried with any organic herbicides? If a guy could ridge till but kill the winter annuals early, it’d be a great way to save moisture and keep the tillage passes down
SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.
The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.
But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.
@speerman42 Ag must be the most divisive business in the world. Cattle guys bitch about crop guys, crop guys about cattle, small farms about big, big about small, and every variation in between. We could and should command the world but our own divisiveness makes us weak.
What’s the 2025 Drought Outlook? 🌽 🌧️
Here is the spring & summer forecasts from @bam_weather
April:
Very wet in the eastern corn belt as well as some northern areas
May:
Dryness creeps back in over those northern areas but remains wet out east
June:
Rain almost exclusively confined to the eastern corn belt, leaving the central plains dry
June-July-Aug:
The plains and western corn belt get super dry, as the dryness works its way further east. Leaving just the far western corn belt wet
Overall the eastern corn belt doesn’t look like a concern, but the central plains and western corn belt are something to keep an eye on this summer

@FoulkShay Apparently I don’t take many pictures from the end rows. This is one I found. Conventional field so we put 12 rows of end rows of corn on for the sprayer to see better and not drive on young alfalfa. Yes for turning. Once established, traffic doesn’t bother it much
I think the drought talk for this upcoming growing season needs to be ramped up.
Every major seasonal weather model is indicating a hot and dry summer for the Ag Belt and there is plenty of analog support to back it up.
Plus getting years like 2011, 2012, 2013 to consistently show up on oceanic analogs is concerning.

Have you heard of @jasonmauck1@zebulousprime@BobGunzy@OldBobRecker or many others talk about the alley cropping idea lately? If you want to learn more and see it in person, mark your calendars for July 8th. McLean NE. More info to follow
Before those is ag do the ol knee jerk reaction on this one, take a breath and view this phrase as if it pertained to a different business.
I see businesses close when their costs exceed their reruns, but nobody gets massively upset.
Why is corn different?
I attended a farm management conference last week and this paper from 1990 was passed around. Though it’s 35 years old and numbers have inflated significantly, the underlying “rules of thumb” are still applicable.
Numerous bullet points that are often hotly debated here on AgX.
@KKong64@jasonmauck1 3D agriculture. Love it. Could do shrubs like serviceberry, elderberry, hazelnut in the tree row. Definitely some crabapples and persimmon Try to carefully stagger different blocks for fruit drop and move multi species herd through. Improved honey locust varieties
If you think you’re a good person, get married. If you still think you’re a good person, have kids. You’ll realize you are a broken and selfish creature in dire need of redemption, and this is good.
In his opening statement RFK basically said:
1. We are the sickest country on earth, it is bankrupting the country, and it is morally disturbing that we aren't doing anything about.
2. I'd love to work together to especially to make our kids healthy.
3. I want food freedom and do not want to ban anything, but want to make sure people understand what makes us sick so they can choose health if they want.
4. I'm not anti-vax, I'm pro safety. Just like when I got mercury out of fish, I wasn't anti-fish.
5. I want to make sure industry isn't poisoning our food and our health care system and that we get better independent science.
Any senator who doesn't support this hates America and cares more about collecting checks from Big Pharma than your kid's health.
We're burdened with what we think people think or will think when they are doing the same. I think because I watched men die young I missed that exit and want to make things happen.
We think consequences from actions can get sticky when really the sticky trap is doing nothing.
