It’s one thing that the parts department at Freightliner makes me wait on hold for 18 minutes, but forcing me to listen to Craig Morgan that long is downright immoral.

This is a shop towel I wiped my face with after taking some crown rot ratings in a plot. Tar spot’s been getting all the credit this fall but with recent moisture I think the saprophites have been pretty happy.

Maybe one day I’ll get to raise a decent crop. Didn’t happen in 25 and certainly won’t this year.

If I never have to drive highway 30 between Columbus and Grand Island again that’ll be too soon

Adding lanes to highway 30 between Columbus and Grand Island should be a priority.

Can you tell where the pump didn’t shut off on this field? Guess my grass was a little short on P and K.

Lot more of this going around now than there was 10 years ago. Be interesting to see how we feel about it 10 years from now.

Speaking as the guy who sets up everything in the monitor here. I’m not sure what dad is doing but I’m terrified.

Snowing on me in Custer county. Cancel this year’s corn crop, it’ll never get planted in time.

Last 5 yrs we have trended toward planting beans first and EARLY when it’s ’not good enough’ for corn, but EARLY has passed by, do we reprioritize corn? How fast can you get it in? What is Mother Nature going to do. Steel’s info from ISU after Nay15 corn drops harder than beans

Has anyone in Twitter land used these plates before? Have an old 7300 planter on 15” rows we would like to try and drill rye with.
