Corn is done yay. One truckload didn’t fit in the bin. Will deal with that later.
Celebrated by loading 250 bales of hay for a customer. Gahh

So tired of harvest. Got like 10 acres to go, still might not fit everything in the bin due to a misaligned grain spreader filling one side of the bin before the other. Will finish that corn somehow today, then I have 15 tons of fertilizer to spread before it rains again.

Not sure what’s going on with this.
Forget $2 gas, diesel is quietly surging towards $4/gal, with Indiana just becoming the 7th state to reach that mark. Next states that will see $4:
Nevada ($3.98)
Michigan ($3.96)
Maine ($3.96)
Illinois ($3.93)
New York ($3.90)

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.
Last month he was a soybean farmer, this month he’s an expert on intercontinental cattle drives.

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
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

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!

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.

Trump touts cost of Walmart's Thanksgiving meal to vindicate his policies — ignoring a key detail
Since Tuesday's elections, Trump has repeatedly boasted that Walmart's Thanksgiving meal bundle is cheaper than it was under President Joe Biden. But there's also less food in it.

Huh
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

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.

Almost 80% of S&P 500 stocks declined today, which is the worst day of market breadth ever recorded, while the $SPX was making new all-time highs 🚨🚨

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. 🤣

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 😆

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.
