Great discussion.

Yep, all is well. It’s the lowlife congress critters benefiting from their office. Keep your eyes on them fellas.

T-Raptor forage brassaca is a cross between forage turnips and forage rape. 40-55 day maturity. Pasja forage brassaca is another hybrid and is another good one. 50-60 day maturity. I am paying a lot more attention to short maturity with my brassaca mix because of the dry early falls we are...

This is exactly what happened to me this year. Did all my fall plots around Labor Day and they didn’t do much. The only plot that did anything was the one I posted above. I was in a big hurry and forgot to add in brassica seed so I went over it with a Solo spreader. No rain for several weeks...

I would never argue that deer don’t love sugar beets. By all accounts they do. My question is it is it worth it vs $4 a pound mix of seeds run through a bag seeder from Welters? This was the first snow this year. Deer weren’t even hungry yet. I had the same experience a lot of guys do, the...

Old Bill was there to par-tay. Having the time of his life, you can see it in his eyes.

The transparency is impressive.

Agree with both of the above comments whole heartedly!!!! My only beef with Terry Savage is she wants everyone to wait too long to retire. Also- I never had employee match but my wife did. Where else can you get that kind of return every time you invest?

Terry Savage: “A 20-something who saved $40 per week invested for 50 years at the historic average stock-market return (~10% annually, with dividends reinvested) could accumulate nearly $2.5 million by retirement. In contrast, someone who started later (e.g., age 37) ends up with far less over a...

My wife used advisors. The last one was a Schwab advisor that took a fraction of a percent of the gains. Sounded miniscule. We were busy with demanding jobs and kids. It grew. It didn’t grow like it grew when I took it over and used very vanilla low cost index funds and a couple managed...

I don’t like it one bit. The algorithms dictate what nonsense reaches our brains. We have no idea how it is affecting our young people. I shut down my facebook yesterday, got rid of twitter a year ago. Progress.

Heck yes.

@Hoytvectrix that is a crying shame. I let a very good guy hunt my ground for a few years. He had a wounding incident three years ago and blamed it on a problem with an expanding broad head. The next year he had another incident and I asked him if he had changed broad heads. He said no and...

You guys are definitely getting some attention and it isn’t the right kind. I noticed the criminals from the spawn of the refugees coming out of there in the early 2000’s so it’s been going on longer I bet. Here in Illinois we used to have some pretty damn competent republicans running for and...
