Now that’s something I never thought I’d see.
Meet the Ring Drone Cam. A flying indoor security camera that delivers proactive wall-to-wall visibility, flying custom routes to the spots a fixed camera can't reach.

Imagine these numbers are accentuated in Nebraska. I’ll be glad to see the 2026 season behind us.
What's up with yields this year??
Four year growing season snapshot for Northern IA.
Some things that stand out for 2026 compared to other 3 years...
Tied for shortest # of grainfill days.
Highest average overnight low.
Highest # of nights above 70 degree low.
Lowest amount of solar radiation. HUGE!
Warmest night low 7 days prior thru 7 days after pollination.
Warmest daytime high temps 7 days prior thru 7 days after pollination.'
Warmest temp average 7 days prior thru 7 days after pollination.
Highest number of days above 90 degrees 7 days prior thru 7 days after pollination.
Wettest season rainfall... by a LOT. Many locations in area I cover were over 40", some over 50". HUGE!
I think it is safe to say this sums up the huge differences in yields.
Rainfall totals and length of soil saturation are a strong correlation as one moves from east to west.
The fact the crop that was/is out there for going thru all of this is quite impressive.
A testament to much improved management of growers, equipment technology and genetics.
Huge thanks to Andrew Schneider, Pioneer Product Agronomist for running the data!!

small businesses are going viral by participating in a trend where they declare they don’t use ai flyers
We are now at the peak!!
Folks - I am seeing a lot of panic in Husker Nation after the news of Tony White and transfer portal entries.
I put together this handy chart of the Annual Husker Hype Cycle to help guide you through this Off-Season. We are currently at the lowest point. It can and will only go up from here. Enjoy the ride! #Huskers
Anybody on here have good insights about using soil moisture sensors in subsurface drip fields? I’d love to pick your brain if so.

Tonight at bedtime, my son asked me to snuggle with him after prayers.
As I laid there in the dark, his tiny fingers interlocked in mine, I did something I do often:
I closed my eyes and imagined myself as a 90-year-old man.
This man sat in a rocking chair alone thinking back to this exact moment in time with his young son, before he grew up & moved away. The old man would give ANYTHING to be back in this moment even for a second. Anything.
I open my eyes. And I am there in that perfect memory.
It’s time travel. And it’s a powerful exercise in gratitude.
I can easily get bogged down in business and the day-to-day chaos. Taking a moment to slow it all down does wonders for me.
Highly recommend.

Take advantage of the latest @JohnDeere precision ag software updates! G5 displays now have satellite background imagery, making it easier to see the where you are in the field. Also new is gesture support for easier navigation, including pinch-to-zoom and drag-to-pan. The full list of new features can be found in the release notes link below.

Does anybody out there know approximately how many kilowatt-hours it costs to run a pivot around? Nebraska, or anywhere else? I know it will vary based on well size, pivot length, etc., but I am open to any information. Thanks!

Conversational AI, like ChatGPT and X's Grok, is becoming my go-to for agronomy info and general brainstorming. It’s like having a personal thought assistant available 24/7.

The most eye opening book I’ve read in a long time.
This puts things in perspective and hit me like a ton of bricks.
My grandpa’s H has now found its home in my shop ready to be cleaned and revived. Anybody have any cool stories about these old tractors?
Minden, NE. If you’ve never seen this in person, it’s sure worth the drive. This is the 109th year of the tradition. Great article (that just happens to be written by my wife) in the Dec. Nebraska Cattleman mag that highlights the history of the lights. nebraskacattleman.org/NCDec2…

That’s a pretty good stat from the Nebraska football post-game notes courtesy @KMann_Nebraska.
