Now I know this is probably only for you real geeks out there but these little Pokit meters are great. And if you ask claude to build you an app to work with them where he can read the meter live with you it takes diagnostics of various farm things to the next level.

This was a flowmeter but the app speaks aloud diagnostic steps (put red lead here put black lead here) and auto records values and passes them to claude to interpret against Deere or other procedures. Takes the human interpretation out of the loop.

Are we all sure that we haven't detoured into another dimension somewhere along the line?

All the buzzwords, no real policy. Fastest way to raise prices & create shortages is for the government to come in and tell farmers "we know better how to farm than you do." We've seen this show through history time and time again. It doesn't end well.
When @realDonaldTrump gets me inside the USDA, we're going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms. If you want this to happen as much as I do, PLEASE DONATE TODAY ➡️ mahanow.org/donate

Interested to see how this pans out! Lots of our #sidedress #corn is NH3 but this year we are deploying a new tool to us for the rougher to apply ground. Lots of side x sides to see it all the way through to yield from both methods.

New generator we are going to use with the spray drones needs to break in with varying load. 2017 Tesla Model X and 1 gallon of gas in the generator. Added 33 miles of usable range from the 1 gallon. I'm impressed as the generator wouldn't be the most efficient power.

If your not fall applying and you are trying to no till, minimum till etc. I can't stress enough how effective simple 2-4D & Dicamba is in the fall. In the third photo tou can even see the boom swing from the end row.

No wonder this feels like a roller coaster ride!
June 29: CBOT December #corn futures have plunged nearly 16% over the last six sessions, the steepest six-session fall during the month of June in at least three decades. That followed the biggest six-session June gains since 2012.
