If your a ag supply salesman and you call me or stop by cold calling on the first morning after a rain. I can promise you that you will be on the bottom of the list. If you think cause it rained o have time to deal with you then you obviously know nothing.

Just throwing it out there... If you need a break from the farm, want a road trip, my shop is almost always open. There is coffee to be drank, a lunch to be found, a couple beers in the fridge, whiskey in the freezer, 1/2 a pallet of water, deck of cards in my desk, and a basketball hoop for you to lose a game of horse. My phone works too. If you need to talk, I may not always a ray of sunshine (especially Monday mornings) but I will listen. There are other farms just like mine that know the struggle. Reach out and check on your friends and neighbors, get together, do things together. Like I said back in April, 2027 will be our year.

Here’s the bottom line for the corn belt farmers here. Good Kansas farmers could move to the corn belt and grow 300 bushel corn pretty easily. They would move here and fail in a year where many of us have been doing it for close to 150 years.

Waiting for the sun to rise enough that the John Deere "See and Spray" will function is a unique frustration.....

3 to state in singles tennis. got another son that will be competitive in any sport. They are capable of so much on the farm too. My greatest memories was working as a kid with my dad. I feel like I am letting those opportunities slip away for...."Ball".

The most therapeutic drive in the state of Kansas. Kansas highway #4. I particularly enjoy the stretch from Lacrosse to Healy.

My guess is you could get by just fine with 1 less tractor. 🚜 Convenience tractors have become too common and come at a steep price.
