I haven’t said much lately, but people in the winter garden of Texas could use some prayers. This last week we went from a desperately dry condition to a very wet and rocky condition. Large hail, wind, and 4-8” of rain have been tough on us. #2021toughyear

Some of the corn recovered nicely from the hail. I love this stage of growth. Wont be able to see over it much longer. Am I the only one that listens real closely when they walk through their corn at V12? #cropstalk

But we are #replant21 the cotton across the road.

More storms. More damage.

Let’s play a game called name that hybrid. This dryland corn field missed the hail yesterday but still got 70 mph wind. Hold all Pioneer jokes until the answers are given. We have 2 leading Pioneer Seeds U.S. hybrids and a competitor. P1244YHR, P1847VYHR, DKC69-98

Do you have days when you question your career choice? Yeah, me neither. I love my job. Even when it is picking storm damaged oats off the ground. #harvest21

Pastures full of wildflowers and temperatures in the 70s. Typical for South Texas in March, but highly unusual for June.

Holy Volatility CBOT!

Making all kinds of weather history here in God’s country in 2021!

Dont start planting on a Friday. Don’t clean the planter til the crop is up. Work on Sunday, fix on Monday… what are y’all’s farm superstitions? Lately I feel like Walker, “hell jimmy, you work for this outfit, you’re already cursed!”

#sesame is such a pretty crop. Yes cotton, corn, and sorghum will all probably make more money this year, but I am still happy to have it in my rotation.

My second crop corn looking much better than the first! This Pioneer Seeds U.S. #P1847VYHR looks to be a bumper crop, baring any catastrophic storms or freezes…please God no more of that this year 🙏🏼.

Make sure teachers know what a difference they make!

Farming is mostly math and biological science, but we let psychology affect our decisions. If I would have learned this before I got into Ag sales, I would have taken more psychology courses in college.

Texas is ba…

Whoop!

Rollin Mangold picking our beautiful #PHY400 cotton today. Harvesting a foliar biologics trial. Results to come.

I’ve got a gig on Saturday. Not the one I wanted, but I shall do my best at the drive thru nativity…

My South Texas Safrina corn crop is almost ready to pick. (No driers) Check out that test weight Pioneer Seeds U.S. #P1847VYHR. also have a free cover crop going, that’s volunteer oats.
