Glad you made it home safely. I hope you at least beat the shit out of a casino in Deadwood.Back home to the Mother Land. Telephone poles snapped, shingles ripped, buildings and homes beat to shit. Country Club lost 18 trees and sent out an email to all members asking for chainsaw and slave labor help. Also have seen twisted, fucked up pivots.
85-100 mph winds…….thank you Mother Nature.

You and my dad would have been good friends. He/(we) farmed about 800 acres and usually fed somewhere between 1,500 and 1,800 head of cattle. Bought yearlings from two different buyers over the years and finished them.@Mustangblood do you want to travel 65 miles southeast and farm more ground.
Selling cattle all winter has confirmed my true passion is livestock. I've just been lying to myself all these years thinking I liked dirt farming. Today was day one of planting and I already hate it.
Chop a lot of the corn for silage?You and my dad would have been good friends. He/(we) farmed about 800 acres and usually fed somewhere between 1,500 and 1,800 head of cattle. Bought yearlings from two different buyers over the years and finished them.
He occasionally talked about how much he loved feeding/finishing steers and how farming was simply the necessary evil that went along with feeding those bad boys.
Loved my growing-up years…….🥰

We did. Had two “pits” dug into the ground. One for corn silage and the other for hay (alfalfa) silage. The “haylage” turned jet black over the months and compacted tighter than the corn silage.Chop a lot of the corn for silage?
No idea what you’re talking aboutFast Times at Ridgemont High, bro.
We don’t usually use silage but did chop a bag this year with how dry it was. Usually we just grind alfalfa with brome and prairie and feed it with the Kelly Ryan feed wagon. We actually don’t put up a ton of alfalfa each year, usually 20-25 acres a year but we put up alot of waterways and odd ball spots of grass each year. Dad spends alot of time on the old 4000 with the disc mower during the summer.We did. Had two “pits” dug into the ground. One for corn silage and the other for hay (alfalfa) silage.

Will never forget the smell and steam of both of those on a frosty -15 degree morning, when loading the Kelly Ryan feed wagon on a January morning. Lotta fucking work but a great way to grow up.

You serious bromigo?? Wowza……..sheltered life. Not that that’s a bad thing.No idea what you’re talking about

Curious why you asked about whether we chopped a lot of corn silage or not? Especially since you didn’t use much yoreselves.We don’t usually use silage but did chop a bag this year with how dry it was.

Just assumed the way you were talking about caring more for the cattle side that it made sense that you would chop the corn.Curious why you asked about whether we chopped a lot of corn silage or not? Especially since you didn’t use much yoreselves.
Btw…….just did the Kelly Ryan “name-dropping” to make sure you were paying attention. Blair is only 24 miles west of Beebeetown. 😉😎👍

Solid job of deduction….….😉Just assumed the way you were talking about caring more for the cattle side that it made sense that you would chop the corn.
I’ve watched a lot of movies and maybe have seen that one but can’t recall. One cool thing about me…when I see a movie I rarely memorize it. I can watch the same movie a month later and get almost the same enjoyment as I did the first time.You serious bromigo?? Wowza……..sheltered life. Not that that’s a bad thing.

That was average. 170 on some of the irrigated.145 dry land?
also there are 2 kinds of North Dakota farmers/ranchers, those with mineral rights and poors (NWKS is sort of a Diet Coke version of this)
That's fair. But not every movie has Phoebe Cates getting out of the pool and taking her top off. I do agree with your last sentence though. I enjoy that scene like it's the first time I saw it. Every time. 😎 😈I’ve watched a lot of movies and maybe have seen that one but can’t recall. One cool thing about me…when I see a movie I rarely memorize it.

I always remember the important scenes just like they were yesterday 😉That's fair. But not every movie has Phoebe Cates getting out of the pool and taking her top off. I do agree with your last sentence though. I enjoy that scene like it's the first time I saw it. Every time. 😎 😈
Ground is hard and dry. Will need a rain this weekend to bring it upThat might just be a tad out of my range. How’s it working?

Never brought up mineral rights so I doubt it. Guy didn't stop talking for a solid hour.
I had clients in Kansas who would make $80,000 -to- $200,000+ from oil/gas (or wind leases) and North Dakota makes Kansas look like they don’t even have oil.
If you help them, I will find you and kill youIf it’s a client, royalties from oil/gas would be the first thing he would bring up if he had any.

Of course this was back when oil was flowing and prices were high. But still, even now I’d imagine the North Dakota boys still make way more their monthly oil/gas checks than they do farming.
Even if you’re killing it on the farm and you don’t have lots of oil it’s hard to beat getting paid for doing no work and having no input costs.
Speaking of Kansas energy, what the fuck is going on in Republic County with the wind farm @Woodrow F Call ? I got called by 2 buddies that work at a big swinging dick law firm in KC (same firm as the Mainboarder KU fan Shawn Michaels, except he doesn’t work in the energy division of the firm) and they were picking my brain about how to attack getting this bitch approved.
We have a wind farm less than 10 miles from the home farm, fucking sucksIf you help them, I will find you and kill you
