I left my family farm because of this problem. Started over 100% on my own from less than zero and in a new town. It can be done. Would I recommend it? I don’t know if I’m sane enough to answer that.

@AaronBobeck The green dealerships seem very focused on supporting their MUD customers. A medium and for sure the smaller farmer get pushed aside. Was green my entire life. I am now 100% red because I have a great supporting dealership.

Brace yourselves guys. If you’ve had less than 12 inches of water this growing season or you’ve got sand… it’s not pretty. Guys are calling she’ll shocked. Seems like good ground with at least 12 inches has been acceptable.

They already admit to 12 million coming across since uncle Joey took office. There are 4,000,000 seeds in a pro box of seed corn. 12-20 million is a large number of people. That a person for every seed in 5 pro boxes of corn.

@jwilgenburg1 @ahorinek @farmerjim13 @ksufearless I used to design, prototype and test precision ag wiring harnesses. I repeatedly got scolded for making them “to expensive”. I was told we didn’t need that high of quality components. Life expectancy needed to be 5-7 years max because by then the tech would be outdated anyhow.

@lathemfarms Nothing on the front of the planter. No disc. No fert attachment. No cleaners. All those cause plugging and pinning. Make sure it’s low humidity and sunny. Down force must be perfect. To much excess on gauge wheels and it will ball reside. Too little and it hair pins.
