This belt has improved a lot of efficiency when unloading at a bin. It made sense in my head, but didn’t know if I would like it, but it was one of my smarter buys.
The definition of “pre-gaming” has changed as I have gotten older… I just “pre-gamed”
I took some tums before eating pizza…
Found the lid to the grain bin that got destroyed in a tornado in the field. Stopped combine, go to pick it up, found a skunk underneath, I jumped, landed on it… and well, not a good day to ride in combine with me… #harvest26
Do spiders live for the night they can make a web across the ladder of a combine? #everymorning
I think there is a 90% chance when I turn on the weather band radio, it will be talking about flood stages, I don’t farm near flood areas.
At some point yesterday, when working on draper, I left the wrench on the cutter bar. It slide under a hold down, and road for 60+ ac right there
How do you know you’re raising your kids correct…. When they use a salad plate for their ribeye! #beef
Was going to send my wife to get parts this morning, but was afraid of the fuel surcharge she was going to charge me! #harvest26
Some days you have those days… couple small breakdowns, then u ran a corn snout into the ground and tore it up. First time I have done that in 24 years of harvesting
Manage your salt load with carbon based fertilizers.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fertilizers have a salt index, and some common ones are higher than you may think. 10-34-0 has a salt index of 20. MAP is 26. Whereas SUPER PHOS® has a salt index of 0. #CarbonBased #Huma
If you like podcast Diary of a CEO, this is one of the best interviews I have listened too. My favorite part is how @friedberg is willing to say “I don’t know”
I wish more people would admit that!

Anyone else go through these emotions??
I am happy with my early crops sales
I am excited I made so many sales, market crashes..
Market rallies, time to sell more!! This is nice!
Market keeps going up… I hate my early sales..
Now can’t decide what to do…
Told her to move the tractor weight pile, joking cause no way she could… then she did it! Good worker
One year ago today, everything changed for us. Dad was killed in a grain bin entrapment. As #harvest26 approaches, please remember to think twice. We all get in a hurry, acted before thinking, and forget how simple jobs can be dangerous.
I have shared our story often. My only hope is telling our story will prevent one family the grief we endured. I also want to point out the good that happened.
