Just a non-political observation I've been thinking about concerning the Ukraine situation. The Ukrainian farmers and the visuals of their tractors hauling away captured Russian tanks, APCs and supply trucks, has done more to boost the image of farmers into an almost God-like tier than anything since Paul Harvey's So God Made a Farmer.

John Deere has been handed the marketing opportunity of a lifetime if done tastefully.

John Deere needs some good PR. I don't stay up on it as much as I should, and maybe I'm wrong or something has changed, but isn't just about everybody with a green piece of equipment pretty fuckin mad at JD lately?

They are doing everything in their power so farmers can’t fix their own equipment.

Oh it went pretty good. The main group of steers and both groups of heifers sold good. The lighter group of steers were a little disappointing but overall happy with how they sold.

obviously havent seen them, but lighter steers definitely should topped $2 but everything else sold pretty well.

The lawsuits that JD, Bayer, Monsanto, Pioneer, etc etc. bring vs farmers (usually small) are to the levels that I (and others in the agriculture law field) can’t believe politicians haven’t stepped in yet.


Of course, it’s probably because the politicians are all bought and paid for by said companies.




Ex: farmer Jim changes a few blown Fuses in his new John Deere 4 wheel drive tractor. His local AKERS gets a ping from the sensors in tractor (and GPS) that a non-authorized John Deere mechanic is “working” on the tractor. They tell corporate and corporate files a trade secrets infringement suit for $50,000,000 and a breach of contract claim for $10,000,000.

Poor ole Jim, before he consults an attorney he is offered a “deal” by John Deere. They will drop the trade secrets suit if he settles with them for the breach of contract. Jim knows a “good deal” when he hears one and quickly agrees and signs the papers he is handed.

Jim has to sell almost all of his ground and his wife had to get back her old job in town at the hospital.


“Poor ole Jim” is what the boys drinking at the Legion say.






PS: moral of the example

The seed and chemical complies are actually worse when it comes to suing farmers.


Again, I can’t believe that politicians haven’t stood up for farmers on these issues yet.


God damn swamp

Another good run yesterday @scotchfrost9697 @Mustangblood . 2400 head.

$4-8 softer on a steer weighing 575-675, everything under that was steady to 1-2 lower. Heifer price steady across the board.


I'd rather have dick aids than sell 350 pound cows/bulls in a single sale again

Do I overthink it or did the report coming out and corn being up cause stuff to be a lower? We said when we sold tuesday we timed it decent because corn was down the couple days leading up to the sale. Just not sure how much that actually affects our local sale barns.

I’m cutting down some junk trees and ripping out a bunch of other dead trees today.


Doing it all with a little 12in dewalt chainsaw and some garden snips and the rest I’m just kinda pulling/pushing/putting my weight on to snap.



Would make my Grandpa so proud to see me working so inefficiently without any correct tools and just being too cheap/lazy and not even caring.


On days when he would “clear brush” he would usually go out with a 12 pack and come back for lunch and a cooler refill.

The speed the brush pile would be built up was directly related to how many beers were consumed.

These USDA reports are a crock of shit.

Our biggest problem is the futures, traded by suits that move the market based off government projections/guesses.

Name me one thing our government runs "competenly".

Yet they're supposed to be able to accurately report and cattle on feed, guess corn acres and yield before a single planter is going in the corn belt.

Fundamentals don't mean shit anymore.

Also doesn't help the packers continue to make 500 per head.

Well shit, when Russia invaded within a week every grain buyer, be that coop, feed yard or ethanol plant switched to the July contract while we were supposed to still be on the March. The futures price only matters so much, basis tells the real story most of the time.
