Proud of my son. Just turned 11 and ran til 10:30PM the last couple of nights...short on harvest help = start train up the kids and give them a chance to make the connection with working and earning a paycheck
Proud dad moment...man it’s hard to let go and let them do things like this knowing there are all sorts of risk involved...said a prayer for them and headed the truck to town, came back to find all was good! 😅 🙏🏼🙏🏼

My tractor drives itself with a GPS system and I can control my irrigation sprinklers with my phone, I use a bacteria in my fertilizer that helps my corn make its own nitrogen from atmospheric N...tell us more about farming in 2021, Nic, I’m here to learn 😀
My heart breaks for my sister in law today...6 years of showing up every day, meeting deadlines and taking care of farmers in her community

You could farm the entire county, with the newest, best equipment, drive the fanciest pickup, out-raise all of the neighbors by 100 bushel...but without a relationship with Jesus Christ none of it matters

Please lift up Rob Sharkey AKA Shark Farmer and his family…just saw on Facebook that he lost a son…I don’t know any details and don’t need to, just say a prayer for them. 😢

Possible solutions:

3) Get Brandon out of office
1 man harvest crew with 1 combine, 1 tractor and cart , 2 semis and one hoodie...the only thing more certain than death and taxes is the fact that I will get separated from my hoodie and be freezing my butt off when the sun goes down, every single dang day!

Mask. Grown in Kansas, can ship anywhere in the US. $4.99 includes shipping. clothes pins to attach to your ears not included. Message me for details. RT’s appreciated..trying to get this crop profitable in a tight margin year

Did you know fulvic acid has a CEC of over 450? Run it with your 28% to keep from losing it to the atmosphere or leaching in sand..It will also unlock your P2 phos tied up in your fields as well. Folks be paying $500/ton for Phos & they have 250lbs of “free” P out there🤷🏼♂️

belt folks will laugh but started the spring off in drought so dropped 11,000…helped it hold on and stay alive and finally caught the rains we need to have a chance
I know which crop I like growing better, but...$14/ac seed cost on the right, $103/Ac on the left, 16” h20 on left, 7” on the right, 220lbs N left, 110lbs N right, grain on right is +$.54 to the left...but is it worth the itch?? That is the question 😆
Update on my corn with the new Lazarus trait package..V7 hail...I lost all hope but it kept looking better every week.

Okay...so why do we never see pictures of the crops with these massive yields...500 bushel corn, 190 bushel beans...I just want to see what the heck 500 bushel corn looks like, and 190 bu beans...not calling BS, but curious I guess
Anyone ever extended a center pivot system to get it out of the old track?? Had one we’ve been battling every summer, I hope this makes

Picked up my 8yo, Jerrek from school after lunch:

Me: You have an appointment...

Good corn for getting beat to a pulp 6/21! Hoping the two circles can average 200 still...not gonna be the 250 avg I was shooting for but thankful for a second chance at a corn crop when it looked like a total loss. God is Good 🙏🏼🙏🏼

plant breeders in the industry...did a little tour in the area today...there are fields that should not be alive let alone look decent still...drought tolerance has come a long way in the past 15 years
Had a great Father’s Day at the lake with the best crop I have ever raised...the input cost to get them to full maturity are pretty high but very rewarding.
“That damn corn is only 16 around”...I try to be professional and not roll my eyes when I hear that comment...ROWS for SHOW, DEPTH for DOUGH...or something like that.
Who would take the 20X ear over the 16?

Bought me a set of knockers...stalk knockers that is. $1200 and 15 minutes, not out a lot if they don’t work as good as I hope...plus they are sending me a T-Shirt that says “Every farmer loves a set of Knockers” 😂
