@NWSLincolnIL I’m harvesting near La Place, IL and could see smoke from the Sullivan fire.

@kyleplattner @Aztech_Ag @JohnDeere Good! Another quibble: the old site allowed “browsing” fwd or back to the next page (or parts diagram). I really miss that, too.

@teslify7 @Hilbe @EVguyZach @Rivian Wow … you’re special if Brian let you sit in the vehicle. At the community event in Normal Saturday, anyone could walk right up to the 3 prototypes … but no touching. Nevertheless, very cool opportunity to see R2, R3, and R3X up close.

@AaronBobeck After seeing the announcement for the $2000 essentials kit (7000 receiver + G5 display), I thought … really, what’s the catch? Subscription everything?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@johnvoelcker US law requires vehicle content labeling for GVWR <= 8500 lbs. Rivian cleverly set the GVWR at 8532 for all variations of its R1T and R1S.

@matt_montgo One word: residuals. How many years has Dr. Hager been preaching residuals?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@matt_montgo Wow! I remember the Rosenbergers from church. And IIRC, Paul sang the lead in a Decatur Theater 7 production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic opera “The Mikado” circa 1969(?).

@TopflightGrain On August 22nd, right?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@Bean_Dork For years (decades?) university experts have been talking about the need for different sources of resistance. What have the seed companies done? Have we moved beyond PI18788?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@BobGunzy Cue the drawbridge …

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@HARTroadrace As one of the 4 “founders” of HART, I look at this and just … WOW!

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@WilsonSeedLLC Yep. My neighbor’s corn got 2 shots of Resicore.

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@dkopp52 How much rain have these plots received since planting?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@coleagronomy Final?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@Bean_Dork @CasefarmsCase I’m 6’ 3”. I don’t qualify.

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@bl_ag_inc Are you asking about grain (marketing) or supply or both?

[David W Fathauer @seedeye]

@MachineryPete The legend! He epitomized SUPER in Super Stock.

@ryanhuber @Rivian Thank you for sharing. In the 49 months since I reserved, none of my experiences with Rivian employees have been awesome, or even close. Your write-up gives me hope that my interactions with Rivian will improve in the future. Delivery estimate is May or June at the factory.

@TomSloan3 You skipped the 60 and 70 series 4WDs

Since when is pi infinite? Am I being irrational? @chicagotribune
