Already happening. No one was paying attention til now
So what happens when the dairy industry decides rather than selling the beef on dairy calves to a feedlot, they just keep them and capture that margin for themselves?

How many times splitting a tractor is too many before you cut ties and move on? Because if you ask my dad that number is greater than 3.

That’s a wild statistic
Nearly 1 in 4 Feedyard Cattle Are Beef-on-Dairy Crosses As dairy’s role in the beef business continues to grow, beef-on-dairy cattle now account for nearly 26% of cattle entering U.S. feedyards. dairyherd.com/news/nearly-1-…

I worked for Hagie my first job out of college. I know how much that factory means to Clarion. This makes me really sad.
John Deere factories in Ottumwa and Clarion are set to be phased out over next two fiscal years as the company looks to “optimize” manufacturing and “improve operational efficiency” according to a Wednesday announcement from the company. agriculture.com/partners-joh…

My wife’s expedition needed a new key fob along with a couple recalls. Called Kruse motors. They said one of the recalls came with a loaner and made it sound like they’d let us use it the whole duration of any repairs they were doing. I was impressed. (1/2)

They called back today after their inspection with $6k of repairs that needed to be done. It’s a $7k vehicle. I declined all but the key fob which won’t be in for a “few” days. They immediately asked for their loaner back. Thanks for wasting my time. 1 trip to Marshall is now 3.

If I wanted to turn this Vikings offense around, here’s what I would do: Move #1: Trade Kyler Murray to the Ravens for a 2027 4th round pick. The experiment is over, Kyler is not a fit in the KOC system. Ravens need a QB after Lamar’s injury. Move #2: Trade 2027 4th round pick (from Kyler trade) plus 2027 5th round pick for Kirk Cousins. Kirk is playing at a very high level and would be an immediate fit for KOC. Move #3: Trade 2027 2nd, 2027 3rd, 2027 6th for Jonathan Taylor. Some might say it’s an overpay, some might be happy to keep your 1st. Either way, it’s a bell cow RB to control time of possession and keep the chains moving. Your draft capital would look like this in 2027: 1st 3rd 5th 6th To where an offseason trade of Jordan Addison could net you back the missing 2nd and 4th round picks.

We’ve had 2 @DragotecUSA corn heads and I’m really disappointed and frustrated with their reliability. Down time costs me on average 3 days every harvest. Anyone else see anything similar? Really considering going back to a non chopping head

60 acres to polish off tomorrow before the monsoon on Monday. Last pass of the night tonight row unit number one on the head decides to leave the chat. Must’ve known I wanted to work on Sunday.

We were doing such a good job keeping it a secret. Thanks farm journal. Cat’s out of the bag.
After more than 30 years of farming, Chris Schenk says corn yields are running 15 to 20 bu. per acre above APH, with test weights nearing 61 pounds. But as yields set records, tight grain storage space is now an issue.

#noharvest26 is getting old. I’m running out of cabs to detail and engine oil to change

My daughter just called a vice grip a “snap pliers” and honestly I like that name better.

We got word this morning our long time neighbor passed last night unexpectedly and I’m about as bummed about it as a person can be. Good neighbors are hard to come by

I’ve had a pair of isotunes earbuds/earplugs for a couple years. Loved them but they finally died over the weekend. Is there anything out there better or do I just order the same pair again?
