Binge listened to Cody Jinks on long drive home tonight after day in the field. Found some words to live by. We all get by, by the grace of God, we all get by. @CodyJinksMusic

A big “Thank You” to @BenKCB_Diesel for another excellent, intensive management @PioneerSeeds PKP soybean trial in the books today for 2019. Great to see the yield potential of these newest genetics under this level of mnmgt throughout the year. @DonKyle10 @mcclurewm @TheisAg

My daughter found a swallowtail butterfly caterpillar in our garden and she is raising it. It likes carrot leaves. #butterflyfarming #entomology

“Hey my late planted (june 8) soybeans are catching up with my late April planted soybeans. They are the same height when I walk thru them. Wonder if there will be a yield difference?” Looks a little different when you remove the leaves....12 vs 19 main stem nodes + branching.

Follow up from same field. Main stem height was same for both April and June planted soybean. June planted finished with 18 main stem nodes, but lower nodes were blank and few branches. April planted had 21 main stem nodes, more branching and pods on all but bottow node.

A pure play Ag company sounded really “cool”.....about 2 years ago. Right now it sounds like a big and dangerous mountain to climb. We roll out on the mission Monday bright and early. Ag is ripe with opportunities and problems to solve. #corteva

When life is not fun, when weather stinks, when life is hard.....I always try to think about what would make my father proud. He wouldn’t like negative thoughts, quitting, or not accepting the hardship. God never gives a burden we cannot bear.

Suggested reading during #noplant19 “It’s a trpublesome world. All the people who’re in it are troubled with troubles almost every minute. You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot, for the places and people you’re lucky you’re not!
