Not sure what’s going on with this.

This utter dipshit. Prices are high in part because ports were closed to feeder cattle from Mexico because of screwworm, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he’s saying. Also because slaughterhouses have lost many workers, tariffs on imported beef, feed prices going up, etc etc it’s a rich tapestry.

I have shelves now for my drone equipment! Dad is also going to use these. We are negotiating winter shop sharing. 🤣

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

I guess I’m a real farmer now. Buying Milwaukee tools. Got a bunch of drone maintenance work to do, was tired of turning the endless hex screws by hand. Sorry Ryobi. I’m abandoning you. I have a battery on the way, but I can also just steal Dad’s endless supply. Muahaha

Well, we’re harvesting the last 50 acres. I’m not convinced we’ve had enough hauled to market, but we’ll see!

Well, we didn’t finish corn harvest before first snow. 🙄

Trump has been touting the cost of the Walmart Thanksgiving meal bundle as proof that the economy is doing well, noting it's cheaper than last year's bundle. But @allansmith.bsky.social compared the two, and there's a catch: There's also less food in it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Huh

Soup season. First batch of the lemon chicken rice soup is on the stove. Except it’s lemon turkey rice this time, as we had a turkey (yes, an entire turkey) from last year Jenne cooked over the weekend.

Jenne bought some food pantry supplies for drop off tomorrow. I went and bought more stuff today. I still feel completely helpless about the state of things.

Doing 6 1/2 to 7 acres an hour pulling a chisel plow. This feels very boring and slow although it’s not much slower than when we combine the field. There’s more going on when you combine so it’s more exciting.

110 acres of corn left to harvest, but all of our farm storage is full and the one truck driver we have is busy hauling other corn. The other trucker who told me he could ‘work us in’ has ghosted me for the 2nd time. So I’m in this machine today doing some fall tillage.

Oh.

My brother came up today to run the grain cart. I combined, mom and dad hauled. Finished the big field we started on Saturday. Record yield for that farm. Had a seed salesman in the combine with me in the morning. Felt like a Big Time Operator. 🤣

"The president’s statement announcing the relief funding emphasized the number of times he won Missouri’s electoral votes, as if there were some kind of connection between his political support in the state and his eagerness to provide disaster aid..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

It really annoys me that our new Massey 8S has its climate controls in the touchscreen computer. C’mon engineers, this sucks.

It’s weird farming in a very urbanized area where farming is barely a thing and then driving 20 miles west to home out in farm country where everyone works until midnight and grain semis drive by my house at all hours. But I don’t mind being home by 6pm 😆

Motherfucker

Trump ends trade talks with Canada, resumes trade talks with Canada, ends trade talks with Canada, demands to know which European country is Canada

The effect of a little bit of shade on roof frost.

4 new job openings for sales agronomists at my old company. Still trying to dig themselves out of the hole they made over the last couple of years, as they caused most of their experienced agronomists to leave. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Including me. I miss my paycheck, not sure I miss the company.

Why won’t this bin fan start?!?!? 🤣

Boosting again for the Ukraine-interested folks. A fundraiser for a NAFO truck to Ukraine! www.help99.co/patches/new-...

Ooookay, found my favorite. 🥹💙💛❤️‍🔥 #50States4Ukraine #NewYorkBattalion #NoKings www.help99.co/patches/new-...

So the large straight truck from 1970-something we use to haul grain is dying. Dad thinks he needs to spend $50k to buy another used straight truck to haul grain from field to farm for six weeks out of the year.

I am up to 7 or 8 free biscuit sandwiches received from McDonald’s monopoly free entries, now. And a pile of free fries I’ll never use.

Auger up to the corn bin means I’m on top of the bin.

The ‘no purchase necessary’ site for getting McDonalds Monopoly game codes is apparently going to keep me in biscuit breakfast sandwichs for the next month. Excellent.

This man is running most domestic policy right now.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

This bin is a corn bin. Uhhh. We are not putting corn in it. Also, never fill a bin through a manhole. Ummm.

ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago’s Logan Square today and I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well, everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Harvesting soybeans. Going wtf at the soy futures market reacting to Trump like a meme stock.

Madyar is a legend. Used to watch videos from him in 2023, blowing up stuff with drones as a drone group commander.

I’ve donated to various Ukraine causes over the last few years. Had to cut back to near zero this year due to my job change but this NAFO fundraiser caught my eye. This org is legit, if you have some bucks to throw at the cause: www.help99.co/patches/new-...

Day 1316. Ukraine's Defender Day. The second one I have as actual Ukraine's Defender. It's surreal to have my friends and family thank me for defending them and say how much they miss me. I am in Donestk autumn forests, deleting russians here... Thoughts from battlefield🧵

being a cat person is so crazy bc you live with someone who is undeniably annoying and you're always thinking "maybe i should get another cat"

This summer, when I was surprised Dad had an obscure tool that I suddenly needed he informed me he had a fully equipped and stocked shop. So every time I’m in the shop looking for a weird tool, Emperor Palpatine’s line springs into my mind: ‘…fully armed and operational battle station’.

Today, harvesting under-priced soybeans, spreading overpriced fertilizer, preparing to plant 🤷🏻‍♂️-priced wheat. I’m deeply pessimistic about US politics and society, but here I am preparing for crops for next year anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In today’s edition of what I put on my harvest hot dog meal at 8pm. Blue cheese spread Cholulah hot sauce Dill relish Wasn’t sure about the relish, but would do again

Gotta hit at least a 6 pack of this every year

Today’s edition of how fucking stupid Musk is

The one farmer customer I thought was going to screw me out of $1,000 actually sent me a check. Just down to two deadbeats now.

Anyway, it works now. If it will stop raining, we will start cutting soybeans sometime this week.

Agco, and the tractor manufacturing industry in general, does a shit job at writing their technical manuals.Calibrating combine header height sensors, and the voltage range you need is nowhere in the manual.The dealership did it to the wrong spec, as they used a new combine, ours needs a lower range

During trump’s speech, he’s so real

Hey so that’s mass psychosis❤️

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
