@FLOLOfarms @JohnDeere Hate to see that happen. Usually more lost then the machine. Yield monitor and flash drive with a year’s worth of crop data come to mind for me. That is also devastating.

Great audience today talking cover crops, soil health and water quality.

[Wayne Fredericks @wrfredericks]

We all were enriched by knowing Tom. A sad loss indeed.

It was an honor to work with Jerry on this long term study to really show the benefits of conservation practices to the soil, environment, production, water quality and bottom line.

Nice to see @wrfredericks on the cover of Crops and Soils Magazine with an article written by @JerryHatfield67. Worth the read.

A 35% increase in #monarch butterfly overwintering population numbers between 2020 and 2021 was reported this week, giving some reason for hope given several decades of decline in southern overwintering sites. Learn more at @Farms4Monarchs. https://t.co/CZgHEfmWS8

[Farmers for Monarchs @Farms4Monarchs]

In a report released this week from the World Wildlife Fund Mexico (WWF), scientists determined #monarchs occupied 2.84 hectares in December 2021, a modest increase from the 2.10 hectares occupied in December 2020. @Farms4Monarchs has more. https://t.co/Kplp0BSEaR

@ChrisCredg @JobmanAg @NationalCorn When you figure the total machine hours in the field and yield for this part of the country, strip till is hard to beat.
