Bessent and Lutnick have been the overall mouthpieces for the tariffs (even though Lutnick appears to be the architect) and nothing to do with the tariffs and the associated rise in consumer costs has impressed me. It remains to be seen what the tariff revenue will be used for and if it just...

I can see your point with those two but I didn’t have very high hopes for them going in so I guess it isn't as disappointing.

My FAFO reference wasn't towards farmers, it was towards the Trump administration, specifically Bessent, playing a high stakes game of chicken with China and getting worked over. Bessent and Lutnick are the two worst cabinet members through the first ~9 months and it isn't close, IMO. I'm not...

Congrats Al!!

Nice update, things are looking good. RC Bigrock is a workhorse and unrivaled in the switchgrass world at the moment, IMO. Crazy that you had all that EHD and low population issues and still couldn't grow soybeans? Seems more likely something went wrong with the planting like you mentioned...
