@BenRiensche My favorite line to say to people from the parts of the state that have rocks to pick is, “why do you guys put rocks in your fields?” Always a good laugh lol
@tihoma Not defending field loss one bit, or excusing failures to set combine, but I think this is the path to this result:
1. Rust, plants died, early harvest
2. Enough warmth & moisture to sprout lost grain.
3. Most is header shelling.
4. We plant less than 1/2 bu in the spring…
A hot August speeds up the maturation process, resulting in smaller seed size. Shrink the seed by 5% from "normal" and you cut yield by a similar amount. A mild August slows the maturation process, resulting in larger kernels. That's how you get your big yields. We haven't had a mild August in a while. #oatt #corn
@BobWithCPI You made that rogator 854 your bitch tho back in your hay day before you became a salesman. Pall malls and Casey’s breakfast pizza keeps you going cus the gal at the register is recently divorced and graduated a class ahead of you.
@BobWithCPI You pry spend a lot of time at the lake while your kids are busy with travel sports with your ex wife and her athletic husband. That 28 year old of a smoke show Corteva rep hates stopping at your location because you’re everything her 4 year institution said.
Saw this on FB and had to share. 2A all the way.
Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 on the deck rail. I left six cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, my neighbor across the street mowed his lawn, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house.
After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself off the deck rail. It hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do so.
In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. You can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.
Either the media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
The United States is third in murders throughout the World. But if you take out just four cities: Chicago , Detroit , Washington DC and New Orleans , the United States is fourth from the bottom, in the entire world, for murders.
These four Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S. All four of these cities are CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data - correct?
Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat .
Tariffs are not the story!
Since Trump took office in Jan 2025, the 10-year yield has dropped from 4.79% to 4.17%. Look how much it’s dropped today!
That 0.62% drop may not sound like much—until you realize the U.S. has $36.5 trillion in debt.
This is stealth refinancing on a historic scale.
Lower yields = trillions in interest savings.
More breathing room. Less inflationary pressure.
And the market is front-running it.
Everyone’s watching tariffs.
But this yield curve shift?
It’s the real game.
Trump isn’t just cutting spending—
he’s restructuring America’s balance sheet in real time.
Mike Rowe: “For every five tradespeople that retire this year, two replace them.”
“It’s been that way for 12 years.”
“I don’t need to be a mathematician, this is bad arithmetic.”
“7.2 million able-bodied men today, in their prime working years, are not only unemployed … they’re not even looking.”
“What are they doing?”
“2,000 hours a year, on average, on screens.”
“I got a call from a company called BlueForge Alliance … in charge of something called the maritime industrial base.”
“The maritime industrial base consists of 15,000 individual companies, all of whom are tasked with delivering thermonuclear-powered submarines to the US Navy—three a year, two Virginia-class, one Columbia.”
“BlueForge Alliance calls me and they say, we need to hire some tradespeople, and we were wondering if you and your foundation could help.”
“I said, I’ll try, as you probably learned, it’s pretty skinny out there … how many do you need?”
“They said 100,000.”
“100,000 tradespeople for one industry that most people don’t even think about.”
“They said, we’ve looked everywhere … do you know where they are?”
“I said, yeah I do, they’re in the eighth grade.”
“That’s 100,000 building submarines. There’s 80,000 in the automotive industry alone for technicians. Right now … 80,000 openings.”
“You start to go down the list and you begin to realize our workforce is wildly out of balance.”
