Presidentโs Day corn harvest. Temp hit 25 degrees today. Combines have tracks, same with tractors pulling the carts. Also need a ditch blade and a pay loader for field entry and logistics.
I wish that all the money spent on political mailings that found folks mailboxes would have been used toward positive things: food pantries, youth programs, Salvation Army- anything else.
I often am told that pres (pre-emergent applied herbicides) donโt work in western ND. Well here is a skip with a pre and itโs definetly in western ND. Looks like it worked to me.

When a ruling sent a fright,

For most it did bite.

Fire got underneath my Dadโs coveralls and he ended up in the hospital. Had to do an IV for an infection. You can see him here, on the phone with my brother, trying to give advise on the electronic clutches that were not working. โDamn electronicsโ- heโs doing better.
Walked quite a bit of corn today. Most varieties held up well through the Oct blizzard. This one did not. Checked in many spots (8 30โ rows wide by 21.8 feet long) Estimated Cob drop loss ranged from 5-72 bu/a with about a 40 bu/a average.

Drone footage from north of Webster. Corn and soybean. Ground is very saturated. North and west sides of fields have most snow. 37 degrees out today, havenโt seen the sun since Oct 8. Slowly melting it away.

So my boys decided to get bass guitars and bring back the trap set to start our garage band. Invited their friend over and let me sit in. Time to amp up!

Will finish soil sampling today for the season, then meet up with my first farmer who hired me as a consultant. He is retiring. Gonna have some beers with him and celebrate a great working relationship. Itโs going to be a great day

I speak at quite a few meetings. Yesterday was the first time I have ever had someone in the crowd take over part of the session with a bizarre Manifesto-type rant. Ever seen good or bad ways of handling those situations?

Those people who can articulate complex situations in a way where others understand and/or want to learn more about this issue are needed. I applaud your delivery and message. ๐๐ So tired of political/corporate speak with limited concept of farming

In that 79-84 day market for corn. Everything I checked today was R4, just a few early dents. This is why we need the whole month of September. And then some.
Pigweeds are red
Nightshade has berries
Kochia just blows
But itโs Palmer Iโm wary
Buckwheat is viny
There is no weed fairy
Ragweed just laughs
Oh the burden to carry
Marestail likes no-till
resistance is scary
Vol. canola is everywhere
Please pass the sherry
