Guy has hay for sale, asking $360/ton
Me: Do you have hay test results?
Him: No
M: Will you weigh the load?
H: No
M: How do you tell how much I bought?
H: Each bale weighs about 1000lb
M: Did you weigh them?
H: No
Some hay guys are really the used car salesmen of agriculture.

is on fire, reacting to John Deere X9 combine pricing like there's a government mandate forcing them to buy one.
If it's too expensive you're allowed to buy a different colour. To run your current combine one or ten more years. Or to buy a fleet of old used 4400's 🤷♂️🤷♂️

And now there's a salesman who has to convince between 1 and 9 farmers that competing machines are great because he has 9 zero-hour machines to get rid of.

So far all the tweets about this video are about how she knows nothing about ag.
How about reaching out to her staff and invitibg her to visit your farm, hear the issues agriculture is facing and maybe even discuss her climate concerns. 🤔
Ocasio-Cortez doubles down on the threat that earth is facing from cow farts: “We need to innovate and change our, our grain, uh, our, our cow grain from which you know they feed in these troughs. We need to look at regenerative agriculture. These are our solutions”

Unpopular opinion
Farmers saying they want simpler farm equipment and farmers actually buying simpler farm equipment are 2 different things.
Most wouldn't buy lower spec, simpler machines. They want everything modern equipment has to offer, minus bugs and breadowns. Not simpler.
Whoever builds the Spirit Airlines of Farm Equipment will become a billionaire.
A tool that is simple, cheap and safe.
Less tech and simpler repairs.
The market is craving this.

The one input no one ever talks about in these wheat yield records is time.
High yield regions often have climate offering a long, slow growing season.
This wheat grew over 10 months, from seeding to harvest.

why farm shows are destined to disappear:
You stop at a booth to learn about a new product that's interesting for your operation. You leave 10 minutes later (if you managed to speak to someone) knowing nothing more than when you set foot in that booth

Based on my interactions with some machinery salesmen at the local farm show today, I would postulate that:
a) they lack training
OR
b) they're good salesmen with poor product and technical knowledge
OR
c) my expectations are too high
Not all of them. But too many.

Dear equipment manufacturers,
Why do you ask me to fill a form with contact info, address, etc. before I can download a brochure to get product information?
Stop doing that.
Or put relevant product info on the website instead of in the brochure.

Give the cashier a $20 bill and loose change for $1.20, expecting a $5 bill in return.
