@mwebster1971 @YouTube Don’t tell Babe Ruth how to swing the bat! If it was 6 hours I would figure out how to watch. Keep up the great work Mike!

[Scott Pitts @scottptts]

@mwebster1971 This is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. Going through it like you did really helped me think through my playbook and what actions I would have taken. No way I’d made 90k percent, that is a fact 😂!

For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

[cotton trash @billcrowder13]

Spread the word. Great facts someone sent me on cotton.
14 million metric tons of plastic are released into the oceans every year.
Every time clothes are washed, microfibers enter our waterways. These fibers are too small to be completely filtered by wastewater treatment equipment.
Cotton breaks down in water in just over three months, which is a rate similar to oak leaves.
However, synthetic fibers take 20 to 200 years to break down in the same environment.
Fibers from synthetic clothing make up 35% of the microplastics in our oceans.
By 2050, there may be more plastic in our oceans than fish.
81% of tested water samples from major metro areas around the world were contaminated with plastic fibers.
This microplastic waste affects everything in the ecosystem — including what we eat.
The average person consumes approximately a credit card worth of plastic every week.

Our trademarked icon is the crow and that’s not by accident… It helps tell our sustainability story with a unique supply chain that covers only 238 miles “as the crow flies.” 𓄿𓄿𓄿

Good meeting with the @Seeds2Seams folks today. The ONLY ones in the business where you can trace the t-shirt from the dirt to the shirt, every practice in the chain within 250 miles of Swainsboro, GA "as the crow flies." 100% Cotton, grown by either Lee Farms or @DavisFamilyAg .

[Scott Pitts @scottptts]

@ronlee1975 @Seeds2Seams @DavisFamilyAg We’re very excited about the work that @Seeds2Seams is doing

Out in the Carolinas Technical Agronomist Zack Webb is finding two varieties of #Deltapine Thryvon #StrongCotton that are performing beyond expectations. Take a look. 💪

I know everyone has seen this before but it’s the first time its my plots. Our regional cotton IST test. Left is untreated non-ThrvyOn and the right is untreated ThryvOn planted the same day. Untreated averaged ~380 thrips per 5 plants. ThryvOn ~18 per 5 plants #MOCotton

Another year of high #thrip pressure in #WestTN. In this operation and in this field, 1 #trait is replacing 2 insecticide applications on #thrips with #ThryvOn technology ⁦@BayerTraits⁩ ⁦@DELTAPINE⁩

[DELTAPINE @DELTAPINE]

See how they count thrips populations at the Scott Learning Center. Jay Mahaffey takes you from the field to the lab.
