My 72 year old dad ran the combine for the first time in 10 years today. I think he really enjoyed it until he twisted a yolk on the drive shaft off the header drive. He apologized. I laughed. We had a beer. Shit happens and we'll fixer up in the morning.

Is it 'take a picture of your vehicle thermometer' season yet? I think it is. For those of you rich enough to have a vehicle that has a thermometer, stop gloating. The rest of us have to drive to the bank and see what the sign says.

Hi, GMO AND NON-GMO grower here. There are literally billions of frogs/toads in our corn fields right now. It's also quite wet. 30 years no-till/minimum-till. Dead soil? Is 5%+ organic matter ok? Go spread your bullshit fear somewhere else.

Challenge anybody to find frogs in the middle of a GMO cornfield, like I found in our Grazed paddock today. Dead soil=no biology=no bugs, pollinators, frogs, birds, etc.

@DerekWoll Farmed with both. GPS allows me to sit in the tractor for longer hours and wake up more refreshed and ready to go right away. Longer hours = getting the crop in quicker, beating a rain. Quicker a crop goes in the higher the yield. That's ROI.
