Crop Farming Humor
I'm in the "Exclusive" with the "Big M"... They sent me this picture with the latest creation... Grown predominantly in Mexico... it will feature consistent 200 bu yields with 3 inches of rainfall/ year on black dirt...
it will be available in 2013 with a price tag of $475/ bag..... kicker is they are only putting in 40,000 seeds in a bag as they are trying to ration the supply...
steel wheels are recommended...
I had asked him what the entire Midwest would do on a year like this with this great new hybrid on 95 M acres... he said "166" respectively...

Root Worm Beetle Management
Seen major silk clipping today. From root worm beetles, well past economic thresholds. With this dry weather more than five on a single plant warrants treatment.

If you can afford to do so now, I suggest buying hay NOW for winter. I have a feeling it's gonna get scarcer as the year goes on. #haytalk -- Jesse Bussard (@cowgirljesse)
