Any cattlemen know where a guy could get a replacement bearing for one of these old oilers? Maybe any old bearing would work, but what is left looks like a bit of a special thing

#regen Why is "Regenerative Farming" such a difficult sell to farmers? I just got home from a regenerative ag seminar and on the drive home I took the time to think about it and what I learned from the presentation and the people attending it. There was a mix of people who are

I must have been bit by a tick or something lately….. I spending more time thinking about cows than corn. I drive down the road now and see pastures that need improvements, and don’t even notice corn fields. What is happening to me?

Welcome to the 4th Turning..... May you live in interesting times....

If anybody wonders why alcoholics, nicotine addicts, or people addicted to painkillers don’t recognize their addiction. Most people show the same exact symptoms and behaviors….only they have an addiction to their blood sugar levels. Irritability, brain fog, inexplicable desire

I meet some of the nicest, helpful and interesting folks when I buy some random item or equipment in online auctions. Many times now I’ve got into hours long conversations leaning on a tailgate.

Making a real estate deal happen when boomers are involved might be one of the most irritating experiences I’ve ever had. When the millennials break out the guillotines, I’m might be among those who says “They kind of had it coming” Buy land they said…..it’ll be fun!

What's it called when there is a person (call him B) in the middle of two other parties (A & C) and is getting everything arranged and agreed upon to make a fair market price deal for all 3 to achieve their desires and goals? Maybe a Facilitator? In a sane world, this person

Wait until the grain specialists find out about Neonatal Maladjustment Syndrome(Dummy calf)..... Just like hay when the weather doesn't cooperate... they can sure ruin your plans for the day. That won't jive with their lifestyle at all... I don't think there is much of a threat

More cow things. Premature calf out in the pen this morning. Maybe 25-30 lbs. Guess the kids are gonna have to add a bottle calf to their chores. Good sucking instinct, but hasn’t been able to stand yet. No cow was claiming it, so now I need to find the negligent mother.

If ever there was a picture to represent herbicide resistance…. Killed 2 row of corn along the road ditch with whatever they sprayed….waterhemp still going strong and putting on seed.

You want to be a cow/calf guy? Look at all that money to be made! This is your life now. Because this guy needs to feed every 4-6 hours….

Things I’ve NEVER done before….. walking 1/4 mile to the irrigation well to fill the drip oil tank…. Because we have irrigated nothing this year. And I want to get a cover crop seed germinated in an adjacent seed corn field that shares the well.

Cow things……. Continued….. You could be doing thirsty Thursday at the local watering hole, or watching Netflix……. Like the other grain specialists…. Instead you are attempting to recuperate a 1st calf heifer who had a hip locked calf(which died) into being able to stand
