    We’ll all get the well-deserved, extended break before too long, so I try to appreciate what I have.

    Hey @Ozzie_Isaac, just saw this ad and figured maybe you could save a few piles of green.

    That is awesome!  Thanks for sharing.  Could definitely use something like that.  Want to clear some land for an arena.

    In a former life I operated a D6 on the regular and even D8s, 9s and an 11.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    seems like hush puppies and corn bread should be on opposite sides of the bracket.  I feel like the anti-breadites have rigged this.

    Are these conditions good or bad for you?  Around here folks are having troubles finding buyers at current prices.

    Did you by chance spend some time at proving grounds?  Very jealous of getting to run the 9+ category, those machines are amazing.

    Don't ask me how or why as I don't have an answer but I ran across this YouTube channel maybe 6 months back. These guys pan for gold with small remote control construction trucks/tractors. These little RC construction vehicles can run 10K plus. It's crazy but everyone has to have a hobby.

    Still here. Lent is the beginning of our “busy” season. To call it hectic is an understatement. 14-15 hour days here lately

    Just dodged it.  Couple people texted me it went right by my shop and house.  I’m at the shop and SWMBO is at home.  Looks like we are fine.

    Trying to decide if I make it the whole day at work. Headed to Savannah, GA  tomorrow for a long weekend. I am notorious for getting antsy the day before any trip and starting vacation a little early.

    Are these conditions good or bad for you?  Around here folks are having troubles finding buyers at current prices.
      I have already contracted about 25% of my wheat.  I read somewhere that some elevators are struggling and taking out bank loans to cover buys.  I don't think that will be the case here because we grow very little wheat in Ohio but, if they can't actually buy it at harvest I will have to stick it in a bin till they can.

       Personally, I don't have very much wheat, I have been custom harvesting for a neighbor for years so the last two years I planted a field of my own. But yes these conditions are favorable, makes me wish I had planted more.

     For me wheat is a pita.  First you have to plant it in the middle of fall harvest, while we were dealing with army worms, hope it makes it through winter. Good drainage in the spring, once you have a stand going you have to split fertilizer applications, fly on fungicide, scout for bugs. If all that works out and you miss mid summer T storms that can lay it flat, you get to harvest. The optimal harvest window is about 2 days or the test weight starts dropping, Then you deal with straw, whether you chop it, bale it store it, or someone else bales it takes it, that needs to happen very expeditiously in order to get your double crop beans planted. Hope you catch some late summer rains to fill those out and you might have something.

    Sounds just like a sour dough starter!

    The flip side to record crop prices is that everything goes up, rent, inputs, equipment, land prices, fuel, seed, everything.  At some point historically the crop prices will go back down and suck again, and some guys may have over reached, and well to quote Warren Buffet, "only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."

     All im saying is, with goats, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, swmbo, I don't need the neighbors dropping off more things for me to feed. I will take care of bubbles, and if its too much Ill bring them back.
