How are the larger farms getting divided up. Who is going to pay for them? My dad owns 1200 acres and my father in law owns 400. Someday it will be mine and it will be a cold day in hell before I sell a single acre of it. I believe that is the attitude of most multi-generational farms.

There is no way human labor would replace machines for planting and harvesting at the scale needed today. There are like 170 some odd million acres of just corn and soybean production in the United States alone. That doesn't even count wheat or any other specialty crops. Start dividing that...

Just about pulled the trigger on an ag spray drone this winter, but held off. Only thing that stopped us was fear that in a couple years they would make big advancements and ours would be obsolete. Pretty easy to justify the expense of a drone when comparing the cost to custom helicopter...

Leave out the gly and use liberty instead with enlist.

What are you using for bait on the groundhogs?

Marestail and waterhemp. 2 real bad ones.

I bought the only 2 dog proofs theisens had yesterday and set them. Was two for two this morning and ordered another 10 traps. Fun and beneficial.

Pretty sure it's illegal here as well.

1.7 here since last night. Soo thankful. Crops were hanging in there but they needed a drink bad.

It depends on what power company you are on as to their net metering policy. My rec is monthly net metering. That means any excess I produce for the month they will buy at wholesale price. If I don't produce enough I buy it at retail. If you have yearly net metering you can stockpile credits to...

That sucks man. House, deer, and property all look beautiful.

Most bills in iowa have a start day of July 1st. I assume this one as well.

U can attest to that also. Dads pond is 6.6 acres and there are 2 silt ponds that feed it that have big erosion stone at either end. The tracks are crazy at the stone. That is definitely where they prefer to drink. That and tons of tracks in the sand on the beach.

Is there something I can spray that will kill all three. The honeysuckle and autumn olive are small. Some of the multiform rose are pretty big

My property is very wide open as it is an old cattle pasture that 2020 was the first year for no cattle. It is mostly big mature trees but they are scattered. I'm in the process of planting trees and shrubs, but am planting some every year instead of all at once. There is quite a bit of...

I can't speak for everyone, but in the winter we haul our grain to market. We bin our crops in the fall and haul it the rest of the year. We can hold about 270k bushels. Also in the winter we do maintenance on spring equipment. If we were to take it to the dealership, it would cost a fortune...

Yetter twisters are great. We have them on both of our planters. I believe there are aftermarket transmissions that can go on there that would be nice so you wouldn't have to worry about the drive clutch. Also they make upgraded marker cylinders that would be a huge upgrade too. Then you can put...

Also to go along with this. If they stop the farm subsidies, then the usda needs to stop their games with their numbers on the reports. They control or greatly affect the market prices with the numbers in their reports. If you watch their numbers, they play games by either changing production or...

If it is non-gmo the 2 chemicals that get brought up for grass control are impact or accent. I had seedcorn one year that was not roundup ready and used armezon and armezon pro. Had pretty good control but not perfect. Definitely need to start clean to stay clean.

I would assume, but quite possibly wrong, it would be similar to what ag guys are doing on land. They set a value to the fence, drain tile, any buildings, excess fertility,etc. They then depreciate the value of those things after purchase on a schedule. Since you can't depreciate land, it seems...
