You may get rich on entrepreneurship, bit a little restraint can save you a world of trouble.
My wife’s grandfather went to Venezuela in the late 70s. He was so impressed with the potential that he bought a huge ranch there. He moved hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment there and began building a farming operation. He got crossways with some government officials that he refused to bribe and ended up leaving the country upon threat of his and his family’s lives. Left with what he could put in his suitcase and nothing else. You can’t have both a booming economy and extreme government corruption.
I remember how angry grownups used to get when I'd prank call them.
If some kids prank called me, my eyes would light up like a kid on Christmas morning and I'd be playing along the whole time.
A product of growing up listening to the Jerky Boys, I suppose
The person in front of me who abruptly stopped to let a semi into the roundabout probably decided who they're voting for based on AI generated Facebook memes
I'm not seeing the problem
Here’s the one that got me. Come on @MilwaukeeTool
You have one of your college kid employees who never been in the field design this?
The latest trend on farm TikTok is people saying that kids who go to their state FFA convention in October aren't real farmers.
You're really telling on yourself if your business can't operate for 3 days without your teenage child.
Maybe the world isn't so shitty after all...
> 2 brothers inherited 568 acres from Dad
> Neither farms. Dad retired 8 years ago
> No strings attached to the inheritance
> But both brothers agreed: "Dad would've wanted to help out a young farmer"
> So they're selling the land to the 28-year-old son of the farmer currently farming it.
Here are the terms:
→ 75% of appraised value
→ $0 down payment
→ Minimum interest rate allowed by IRS
→ 30-year amortization
→ 15 annual payments
→ Balloon payment at year 15
> They could've sold to the highest bidder
> Instead, they're giving a young farmer a chance
> Not every landowner is interested in squeezing the last dollar out of every acre.
Check this bad boy out. 2 miles from my place. The storm chaser roofing contractors are crawling like ants today.
Reed Timmer was cruising around my neighborhood in the Dominator today, which is cool, but also not cool
I just rolled my eyes so hard they did a backflip
Today, I am thinking about the men and women who feed America.
The farmer in the field before sunrise. The rancher checking cattle after dark. The packer, the trucker, the processor, the grocer. The USDA teams working weekends and holidays to protect our livestock and our food supply.
They do not clock out when the country sits down to eat. Their work is the backbone of this nation.
Thank you to every American who works with their hands, their heart, and their grit to keep this country strong.
God bless our workers. God bless American agriculture. God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

“The problem with farming is there are too many people willing to do it for free.”
Trucking and farming are very similar.

JBS co-owner met Trump to kill the beef import tariff. Next day: 90-day waiver. JBS gave $5M to his inauguration.
A foreign packer bought access. Ranchers pay the price. 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com
Immediate tarring and feathering for anyone caught running grass herbicide through their fence row nozzles
104yo farmer decides it's "about time to retire."
Hopefully his geriatric kids can handle running the operation without him.
