There’s a saying in business that if you make a customer happy they will tell 5 people. If you make a customer unhappy they will tell 500. I’m here to say that once again PETERSON PERFORMANCE came through with tremendous knowledge and service. Parts on my step in <24hrs.

Population set at 15,104 on a 1997 CIH 950 Cyclo. Well maintained with the air and brush properly adjusted. I would be hard pressed to feel any planter would show a big enough advantage in this 100 bushel environment to have a greater ROI than my $3,600 planter.

Convention tilled dryland milo isn’t a practice I would recommend, but if you’re going to do it, be conservative on population, plant a tough hybrid with the ability to tiller well and stand well when stressed. (And pray for rain! )

Planting is done. Gonna go full rabbit and beat the rain home!

We are gearing up for another great year of Beck's Hybrids Becknology Days! Join us this year at our Goehner location on August 7th for the latest information on farming technology, innovative practices, and sustainable solutions! Hope to see you there, all are welcome!

We were a better nation when TV and radio stations signed off with this. And before our Anthem had to be “stylized” for every performance. Enjoy our Independence Day. 🇺🇸 youtube.com/watch?v=-OlvO8…

🥩 I’ll start that diet tomorrow. (That’s a lie)

There a lot of summer ahead of this crop, but that’s a pretty field of milo!

A mountain lion was spotted just inside Ulysses city limits. Police are urging residents to stay alert and report any sightings. kwch.com/2025/07/19/mou…

10 days ago I thought this corn would be dead in 10 days. Might make it through pollination with the last weeks rain.

How to pay rent on 160ac of dryland ground in Graham County KS. Lunch in town - $12. Pop at the gas station - $2. 3 cold red NA beers at the bar - ($4.25 x 3). A couple bucks for tips and that’s $30/day. Don’t do that for 250 days/year and 160ac @ $46/ac is paid for.

8 of 112 bolts installed. This might take awhile.

Clean fallow and green corn. The two don’t always go hand in hand on western Kansas dryland.

Just about due for another inch or two of rain.

Cutting fertilizer rates this fall? #soilsample first so you know where you can cut rates without cutting yields.

Rantoul or bust! #HCOP2025

It’s no Wally World parking lot but it’ll do for an overnight.

Not only did it grow, it set seed so it could reproduce. Hate that weed.

Flag raising and our National Anthem at Half Century of Progress this morning. 🇺🇸
