High school football playoffs in Nebraska….the only time of year folks east of 281 realize how far it is to “out here”
Up since 4am MTN. Here for the @huskers at and ungodly time. @TimBrando do us right tonight 🙌🏽
I’m in my 40s and just called “kiddo” at the music store. Not sure how I should feel about this.
I’m either dressed like a toddler or am receiving high compliments

Setting a combine today, customer was using same settings as last year which were providing 0.25bu/ac loss with great capacity. This year same settings over 5bu/ac loss.
Few minor tweaks and back under 0.25bu/ac loss once again. Year to year conditions can make a huge difference, it more than pays to check and make sure.
Harvest26 is between a rock and hard place. Crop is ready and the field conditions aren’t. Over/Under spring compaction at planting will be a doozie.

Unless corn yield comes in 175 or less, beans 51.5 or less bulls have nothing, zero, nada, zip after yesterday for next couple months without a major catalyst event or another worthless USDA report. Now we can be optimistic and post crop damage pics and say "crop isn't there" and all may be true, market and funds do not care about you or you're farm, they only care about their performance and what the market is telling them. Right now managed money is +300k long in corn, +235k long in bean, and wheat has been technically bearish. Crying wolf don't matter to the funds, they do not care. Flood corn fields, black beans, they do not care. Prove to them, we have serious issues and the market can perform back above key moving averages and then and only then will they pay attention now. Most of them are underwater, risk managed is now key for them. 20-30c rallies will only be selling opportunities without that catalyst now. It will be viewed as a dead cat bounce. This is where we are.
That 2nd picture isn’t supposed to be a lake.
Sun is up and now we can REALLY see just how high the water is here in Lincoln.
Check out these shots from the LTU traffic cameras near Antelope and Salt Creek. Wow! #LNKwx

China keeps approving more rounds of urea exports, and that has the market bearish!
If my count is right and they follow thru, their exports for 2026 may be nearing double their normal annual rate. Even better, most of those exports are coming 2nd half of the calendar.
