"$7 corn has bankrupted more people than $3 corn"
May be true
But it is the decisions made, not the actual price...
Old farmers not expanding seem to handle it just fine
John Deere Busch cans are really cool
Problem. Is when you drink the first case, you can't get replacement for 2 months and it costs 4x as much and the freight is astronomical
In October my dad passed away
He lived a great 85 years and inspired many as the last 60 was on two artificial legs
But any way. This is his 87 GMC I already painted in like 99
Well I was supposed to paint again
But instead it is now mine
It is getting a 5.3 LS swap and ..
What if I told you
My company that was once 190 strong
Has sadly been split in 2
I am the proud owner of 2
94 people companies
We let Chad and Karen go
While we had the chance
The shortfall of rain in east central Illinois has stressed the soybean crop, as well as corn. U of I crop physiologist Logan Woodward says silver colors on soybeans means the leaves have turned over to save moisture and photosynthesis has stopped.
Our Governor told his constituents if they did not get vaccinated to say good bye to their kids and get their affairs in order
For a disease with 99.5% survival rate
Something is weird here
My dad bought this new
And he passed away last fall
My brother and I are fixing up some old tractors
This is my 2590
14 hrs of labor and a few hundred in paint and decals
Bring it back to life
We lived in a world that had no real problems we could see
So we created them
Gender...race... climate.. Pronouns...
Masks..
Now we can see real world problems
And all the other stuff is a distraction
Warmth
Travel
Food
Safety
Self Defense
Someone should have said something
80 years is all we expect to make on this earth as Hard working males
i have luckily made 50
so if i have 30 years left
and 20 where I will feel like travelling and experiencing
I am just supposed to let them take 2 yrs for "caution"
Naw. I'm good
John Deere commercial showing an old farmer
Pulling up a chair at the coffee diner
6 grizzled old faces look back at him...
He tells Marcia
"THE usual"
Then says,
"My tractor is vertical tilling the last field"
Jim brings him his eggs and lowers his head
"That was my job"
The people are back saying high prices are bad for grain farmers again
Most of them happen to have been wrong, or buyers of grain
Utter cowardly fools....
You know what sucked for farmers
Not making any real money for 5 years 2014-2019. Unless you grew record crops
so
basically
We need John Deere of the future to ease up on the plastic...have bigger fuel tanks and maybe have every engineer tear down his design and put it back together in a ditch on a hot day before finalizing it
that all seems fixable
A bucket of fiberglass
Eastwood paint
Amazon clear
Harbor Freight 9.99 gun
The suburban will look real good going down the road.
Decided if I bought new metal and paid 8k paint. I would never drive it
Capable of anything
Master of nothing
I had a farm one year do 110 bpa wheat and 62bpa double crop beans
I am not saying it is regular
But sweet Baby Jesus with your tiny little Jerusalem slippers
Let us try that one more time
A few weeks ago I pulled my 1970 Chevelle out if the shed where it has been since my first child was born in 1996
been buying parts for 8 years and the complete rebuild has started
Suspension brakes and wheels done
New fuel system Ls3 525hp and 6l80 next
Then paint and interior
John Deere could have hired a jolly old farmer for public relations
They hired a YouTube kid who won't even sell push mowers
Tone deaf corporations deserve what they get when they try to shape opinions instead of applaud them
They want high gas to get you to switch to electric
Want high wages. So 15$ min wage is chump change
They want bigger over all inflation to manage debt
You just have to recognize and play the game
Everything will have an extra 0 on the end in 10 yrs
The 70s were blueprint
PSA
If you are in America, and you think that you will rin out of food
I guarantee it isnt a food shortage
Maybe a trucking shortage down the road
And that is on the Climate Change Cartel Party
Bless your heart
I do not know how you do that 190 days a year
When I was running a restaurant 7 days a week and Farming 5000 acres
I could not imagine, grading 25 papers and buying some pencils
The fact China saw the need to proclaim loudly it does not need to import so many beans....
Is probably more bullish than if they just quietly, stopped buying beans
But I am jus a farmer
Last call! We’re excited to soon announce the first class of Illinois 20 Under 40 Farmers, but we don’t want to miss any worthy candidates. Nominate a farmer by March 31.
Dr. Fauci: "There is the danger that there will be so many people who are being isolated who are asymptomatic for the full ten days, that you could have a major negative impact on our ability to keep society running. So the decision was made of saying let's get that cut in half."
My father was a great man who has been fighting health issues awhile
But one day I will tell the story of how he farmed 1000 acres by himself, as a double amputee in the 70s and 80s
But not tonight
Shout out to the man who likes Old.chevies...with modern amenities
LS motor 3/4 ton 4x4 64
Because therapy is expensive, so I try to avoid it with old iron....
Jim smiles, " It will all work out, I have been day trading after the breakfast rush, AND , I bought the Old man Johnson Farm you've been renting, and your 8300"
I am not on the next Corn Warriors TV show
Thank you all for your support and please support my upcoming YouTube Show
it will be me Restauranting, hunting, fishing, bulldozing, hedge whispering, and oh yeah
probably growing some Hell-atious corn

Ok. Lots of catch up here
I went to South Dakota
Hunted in Wyoming
Then got word my father had passed
So rushed home
Had a great service...now chilling back at home
Watching a movie, and now back on the tweet machine
Whew
I bought an Eby hopper bottom
I didn't ask you knuckleheads because it might as well be asking
What is your favorite color equipment
Obviously it is the one you have
Ps. I did a lot of research
And went with the one on the lot and not 3 months in the future
Corn yields in Iowa are projected to average about 200 bushels per acre, and overall corn production in the United States this year might set a record, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
#CropYield
#Harvest
I will be selling 23 and 24 wheat today. Substantial chunk
More corn and beans for 22
The world feels wobbly and the dollar is too strong for commodities
I may be wrong
But I will be wrong with 3 yrs of wheat over 9$
I hope if they ever freeze my accounts
It is in May
While I owe the whole world to put a crop in the ground
Freeze it in October
And we will have words
As president, I’m going to reverse 80 years of farm policy in this country and end our reliance on industrial meat production, factory farming, and chemical-based agriculture.
