I finished my actual pesticide testing on January 17th. As of today, I'm officially certified! Summer plans canceled again... #Sprayaway25

Farmers: I cannot overstate how tight UAN supplies in N.A. are. I realize that in years past, even when supplies are tight, retailers have made product appear. This year, do not be mad if your retailer says you will have to wait for supply if you haven't purchased already.

Why won't the soil temps climb in NE IA?? Common question I have been getting from customers. With the nearly 4' of frost this past winter it takes A LOT of energy/heat to warm up 4' of soil to even low 40 degree temps. I stopped at a tile outlet in NE Delaware Co IA at 12:30

Question.......do you think its right for a large dealership to charge $75 for after hours parts? These stores used to be open spring and fall till 8 or 9 now they close 6 or 7. I understand people have lives, but it's a service to your customers. $22 bearing....$75 call

J.assy flow sensors caught a partial plug on row 9 of the #striptill rig. After investigating, I found a corn husk that blew into the meter and was partially blocking flow! They aren't cheap, but why go through extra effort of striptill if you're going to do it wrong?!
