I had to tell my 11yo that his friend died in a farming accident
So maybe instead of ripping each other down over this damn election, you tell your loved ones how much they mean to you
A local farmer put together an informal gathering last night, just so other farmers could realize they weren't alone in their struggles this spring.
Ag needs more stuff like this
Every day is a new trigger... a new memory that brings tears. I have pushed everyone away because I didn't want to show how weak I am. I have found strength in my family, and we are trying our best to move forward
I just got a call from a landlord (sharecrop)
He wanted to make sure I wasn't stressed about getting his field planted.
"I know all my tenants are trying their best, we're in this together"
It's pretty humbling
This is known as a "rabbit hutch"
The field culivator guy leaves them periodically so the native wildlife can have a home for their family... not all heroes wear capes 🚜

I didn't vote for President Obama. Disagree with a whole lot of things he did. But, it I had a chance to shake his hand and say hello at a football game, I totally would.
....I guess that's being a grown up 🤷🏻♂️
Surprised my wife and hired a cleaning lady to clean before Thanksgiving
....my wife then spent the next two days deep cleaning before said cleaning lady showed up
I saw a tweet that I didn't like
I could have ripped on it and appeased the crowd that likes to tear down other people
I could have subtweeted about it, making my group chat of 10 people laugh
But I simply scrolled passed
I must be getting old

to use a clip of me being a complete redneck using my 9200 to pull a intact tree out of my mom's yard..... ✔
After an absolutely heartbreaking day, I'm left with two thoughts:
Don't ever forget how dangerous farming is.
Tell your friends how much they mean to you.
It's been the worst year of my life. Every day is a heartbreaking struggle. The thing that I've been amazed by is the support of the ag community. Most of the time, I don't even know how to reply... so I don't. It's hard to explain why, but I see every comment, read every
I just scheduled my 400th podcast to launch tomorrow morning.
I never imagined that something so "silly" would completely change my life.
400 weeks in a row (minuse the worst week of my life) has taught me to be humble and thankful to all the people of agricultural.
Thank you
Politicians run their mouths with a self appointed sense of superiority, all while having a complete lack of concern who they hurt
I can teach anyone to be a politician...
Bloomberg on why farmers can’t work in information technology
MB: “I can teach anyone how to be a farmer 1 dig a hole 2 put a seed in 3 put dirt on top 4 add water 5 up comes the corn”
The skill 4information technology is completely different you need more grey matter

One of the great moments as a couple...
is laying in bed and hearing a mousetrap snap...
ending the life of the little bastard that's been keeping you up. 🐀🧨
I've got a good friend turning 50 this year. He's doing a group hunt to celebrate. It's the last week of September which is peak harvest for me.
I would have NEVER considered this even a few years ago
I said yes.... cuz what are we doing all this for anyway
My son broke my old shop broom
I told him it was the only thing left on the farm from my Grandfather
(I actually bought it like 15 years ago)
The look on his face is worth the cost of his future therapy bills
Imagine building a farm from scratch.
Raising a family.
Building a brand new community.
Then leaving it all to fight for your freedom.....

Scares in my lifetime:
Tylenol murders
New Coke
Iraq chemical weapons
The Macarena
Y2K
SARS
Kardashians
Swine Flu
Halloween clowns
Corona virus
What did I miss?
There is 2 kinds of combine drivers...
Those who turn around when someone brings them lunch
Those that continue and complete the round
.....be a turnaround driver

can crank up the hate on holidays. Maybe instead of worrying about things said by people you'll never meet, you focus on the things that truly matter while you still can
Number 3 got some spicy cheetos in his stocking.
He then gave one to the dog.
The dog then threw up on number 4's legos
Now we are arguing who has to clean it up
Merry Christmas everyone
Wanna see 20 women in yoga pants completely lose their minds?

@AOC
we in agriculture have had to sacrifice to comply with unnecessary regulations in the past.
Would your staff be willing to talk with actual cattle producers before pushing an agenda that could affect them?
