My grandma hasn’t been in a tractor since grandpa passed 14years ago, she planted corn for 2 hours tonight with my dad. Thought that was pretty awesome!
Slashing carbon dioxide emissions is critical to ending the climate crisis. But, for the first time, scientists emphasized the need to control a more insidious culprit: methane.
Last year a 75 year old landlord rented my cornstalks to someone else without saying anything to me. This year he says I have to drop the bean straw so he can bale it on shares with someone else. I’m out
Bought a tractor that was traded in to John Deere in Huron, the previous owner called me to see how I was getting along with it. It was a trade in. Old guys are cool
Hay is costing $75 a ton and a couple local guys about got in a fist fight last night in the local bar over some road ditches.
I’ve never mowed a ditch worth a fist fight

I can listen to old guys talk about their military service for hours. Listened to a guy for 2 hours tonight talk about shit he went through in Vietnam. He got choked up a couple times but just kept talking. Glad I went to town tonight
The elevator is getting ready to tarp bean bunkers before the rain. Looks like a shit job to do. Someone’s handing out thank a farmer lunches here. Give mine to the employees.
Loading fats at 8. Told hired man to be here at 7:30. He drives in at 6:45 in a good mood and ready to go. I think I got the best South African kid there is
I’m gonna engineer a camper with a bed that’s not 5 feet long, an air conditioner that keeps it. 70°, a big fridge, a house toilet and a shower that’s bigger than a 5 gallon bucket
If a hamburger joint served fresh hamburgers
From a local locker the people would be lined up out the door. You can’t get a hamburger in a restaurant like I can at home. Kudos to my wife

Every retiring farmer I know wants to rent their land to a guy who will plant their 1/4 in an hour and harvest it in 2 hours. No one has any desire to see a young person get started
Pretty early to make a choice on what he wants to do in life.
But there’s gonna have to be some drastic changes in the next few years to change his mind.
