I thought I was being conservative! No wonder Pioneer gives away the nicest hats lol

That drives up the cost of inputs too. Just like easy student loans pushed up the cost of going to college.

The trade war with China in 2018 increased production by Brazil. It increased carryover stocks in the U.S. We kept having record years of soybean production. The dollar was strong so it became harder to buy U.S. beans. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower and exporter of soybeans. Some...

So the price of beans is $10.50. So what. Inputs. Land rent. Can’t have a discussion of soybean profitability without talking the input cost. Nationally soybean farmers are looking at $80-90 per acre loss after inputs with $10.50 beans. In Illinois our yields are supposedly around 75...

But this is what we are worried about? Dude is/has been president. Twice. Has said this stuff before. If there is something there, HE WOULD KNOW IT. HE would be the one who didn’t release it last time he WAS PRESIDENT. He IS ”the deep state”. But yeah, Russia is still at war in Europe...

Has to show the video. It sucks but juries are really hard to convince these days. If you don’t show the video the jury will speculate about why it wasn’t shown and what it does or doesn’t show. Courtrooms are a joke. A search for the truth my ass. Judges for the most part are a joke...

Man, seems like everyone has had something last couple weeks. After my kids got older I go longer and longer without being sick, not sure how long its been.

Yes we do. Completely agree.

Broke the metal blade guard on my Stihl brush cutter. Hopefully under warranty. Came down with a bug that really knocked me down. Back at it soon I hope.

This hurts to read. It doesn’t pay to be a normal, good working person any more.
