Wouldn’t change my dads or most others mind anyway. They farm for the sake of farming. Not to receive payments. They might complain but it won’t force them out.
Thought for the day: High CRP and CREP payments killed the small time cow/calf guy- at least here. #changemymind
Out of curiosity, I read the comments to this persons post. Lots of gmo bashing and pesticide bashing and wheat is bad. BUT, what if it’s all the things done and added AFTER the growth of the grain that makes it “bad” for us? Why don’t processors get blamed?
I quit eating bread products several months ago and had the following outcomes.
1. I drifted down to my ideal BMI without any conscious dieting.
2. My continuous full-body inflammation and aching that I assumed was age-related disappeared completely.
3. My sinuses opened and my sense of smell returned. (I lost it 20 years ago, but sometimes it returns. Seems to be staying this time.)
I recommend experimenting for one month without eating bread. See if anything improves.
Covers can be a detriment. Management is key. Consider risks and make smart choices. Cover crop isn’t for everyone in every case.
NEW BLOG POST: z.umn.edu/8vyc Why did cover crops cause issues in Minnesota the last two years and what should growers do going forward? @UMNExt @UMNswac #MNag @MnSoil @SoilLorax
considering upgrading my sprayer/seeder combo. Any interest in the whole package or I’ll keep the seed equipment and just trade base machines. Will have 1500 hrs on, 120’ boom. Fennig box, electric drive through the viper. Serious inquiries dm for details. Probably north of $400k
Tell me again how tillage is cheap to do? This doesn’t include man or fuel. Or the implements it will pull.
Don’t want your stalks and leaves to blow? Leave them stand! There is winter rye underneath and we will plant soybeans right into this next spring
You know that feeling when you break down, even a minor one, and you feel like it only ever happens to you. I hate that feeling 😅
