It's taken a lot of time, money, and effort. But our 180 year old farmhouse has made it so far with no frozen pipes and the furnaces have kept up.

2" more of rain today. Rain and low 80's in the 10 day forecast. 60% of our corn is currently pollinating. With any luck, we I-Staters may just push corn into the $2's by harvest.

Hey #AgTwitter , does this have enough value to leave boxed up or should I let the kids have it? I've had it since I was a kid, but have no real attachment since we ran red stuff.

This WD has sat here with a seized engine since 1983. Mom says the barn is coming down this summer. So the question is, do I sell it or stash it in another barn and tell another generation that someday we'll fix it up?

Upon review of the last year, I've come to 3 conclusions. 1. During riots I prefer the destruction of public property vs private. 2. I want to live in a Republic where frustrated citizens can storm the capitol. 3. Storming the capitol because Biden "stole" the election is stupid.
