Don’t buy into someone using a drone in MS that’s quick to tell you “we detected tar spot in your corn”. Last year that was ALL “poop spot” (top left corner). It takes feet in the field to scout for diseases, no matter what AI tells you #mscrops @MississippiCorn

Highcard injury has been a hot topic in Texas this year. We have had a relatively cool spring with above average rainfall and cloudy weather, the perfect combo to significantly amplify crop injury.

Taproot decline of soybean has a common denominator. Dig around long enough and you’ll likely find blackened residue from the previous season that harbors the fungus. Roots of developing soybean plants come into contact with the residue and you get taproot decline #mscrops @MSSOY

Despite a dry winter, and continuing drought-like conditions, the wheat OVT at Verona, MS looks great #mscrops @MSU_nmrec

Additional stripe rust observed in the Stoneville, MS wheat OVT this morning. It appears 2026 has been conducive environmentally for wheat rusts to develop with active leaf and stripe rust present in MS #mscrops @MSUExtService

Arkansas rice acres estimated to fall to 1 million for 2026 (900k long grain & 100k medium grain) per NASS survey estimates.

My expectation - total AR rice acres will come in about 850k total when the dust settles this year.

Erika Kirk’s husband was assassinated in September. It’s March & a black comedian is putting on white face & mocking her in a video. Honest question, if a prominent black leader had been assassinated & a white comedian put on blackface & mocked his widow, what would happen?

It’s the subtle things, maybe a mere centimeter of seedling depth, that will wear blade from knife and comfort from knees.

Miracles Witnessed While Filming of The Passion of the Christ: ✝️

No Hollywood studio would agree to make The Passion of the Christ, so Mel Gibson decided to create his own production company and fund the entire film himself.

While casting the role of Jesus, Mel Gibson warned Jim Caviezel:

"Playing Christ will be incredibly difficult. If you do this, you'll likely be rejected by Hollywood."

Jim took a day to pray. Then he told Mel:

"We have to make it, even if it is difficult. My initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. The same age as Christ. I didn't realize that until now."

Mel paused: "You're really scaring me, you know." And hung up the phone.

What followed was the most brutal movie role in Hollywood history.

– Caviezel lost 45 pounds
– Was struck by lightning twice
– Whipped accidentally, leaving a 14-inch scar
– Dislocated his shoulder
– Suffered pneumonia & hypothermia after hanging the cross for hours in only a loincloth
– Filming the crucifixion took 5 weeks
– Later required TWO open-heart surgeries due to stress from the role

And still, his purpose was clear:
"I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”

And they did:

- Pedro Sarubbi, the actor who played Barabbas, said of Cavezel: “His eyes had no hatred... only mercy and love.” He later converted to Christianity.
- Luca Lionello (Judas): Former atheist, converted to Christianity after the film & baptized his children
- A Muslim technician on the movie converted to Christianity after the film.
Countless millions around the world were converted to Christianity through the film.

It grossed $611 million worldwide, becoming the most successful R-rated film in history.

But more than that—it changed hearts around the world showing the true pain of Christ’s suffering.

Jim Caviezel now proclaims Christ boldly:
A role that nearly destroyed him became the one that saved countless others.
