My dad shot left and was right for everything else. I'm right everything. My son is right everything except eye dominance. I'm having him shoot left.

China is not buying ground Iowa. Iowa law forbids international owners

Nice buck

Sure hope so, that would be awesome for my son this weekend

2.5-3.5

Boy, that's 25% deflation!! And sounds like an opportunity for someone to make a 30-spot off OP

The whole 14 acres is bringing in 700 bushels. That's a semi load of hauling max. Only thing farmer saves is minutes in the field and fuel to run combine for those minutes. $3000 is a fair price. It's a touch better than current market rates so it does good faith to the tenant when making a...

Wherever the drought is the worst would be ground zero in my opinion. Half of Madison is among that. Expect Warren, Marion, and Mahaska counties to get hit too

Need to get some of the biggest legislative backers of some of the nonsense bills defeated in the primary then as the nominee of the party will always carry some regions. If they are more interested in representing non resident land owners or the auto insurance industry interests (with...

I about ran four coyote pups over Wednesday night. Didn't know what they were until I was going by them or else it wouldn't have been "about" definitely seeing more than I'd care to

Covid should not have resulted in lost time. FFCRA provided for up to 80 hours of paid leave reimbursed directly to the employer from the government. Up to $511/day was the max. If this occurred before dec 31, 2021, the business got reimbursed for those paid sick days and simultaneously stole...

Retention bonuses and attendance bonuses would be welcomed. I've been in same job for 10 years and have over 125 banked sick days available. Would be nice to convert unused leave for pay or for vacation to reward those who are persistently working and honest. We had both a bonus if absent <3...

Agree. The mentality of hiring two for the cost of forcing out one is outdated. That one who has put in 25-30 years of consistent work is irreplaceable in skills, leadership, and dependability. Those two replacements may look cost neutral in the short-term but the losses in training and...

Every good job down the street is built on the benefits unions brought. Healthcare, pensions/401k matches, paid sick leave, 40hr work week all came from unions. John Deere tractor prices are certainly affected by the wage agreement they recently agreed to. But also, their cost of doing business...

Fully agree that it's here. Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP are on the books and a third is well on its way which signals a depression. Plenty of blame to go around but I can't see the calculus that takes it back to Trump.

Do they have a union? That wouldn't fly at the John Deere plant

So these are suspected law-abiding citizens, but their actions make the absentee landowner uneasy? I'd definitely seek counsel before doing anything that could land you in a courtroom

And, the number of employers who make positions at 29.5 hours so they can avoid paying insurance benefits is another piece of the problem. Offer 1 fulltime jobs with benefits instead of two part-time jobs without benefits and you will get more applicants.

Yep. I started at $2/hour in a local restaurant in the 90s as a 14-yr old. Did some work at the grain elevator for $5/hr too. Walked beans on the farm and weaned hogs, cleaned hog sheds for free before that. In college, I worked food service and sold plasma. Landed a good internship in...
