Family, faith, farmer. Macro, cover crops, soils. Just trying to navigate the chaos happening in the world, and what it's going to affect today and tomorrow.

It's probably time to revisit my three tweet rule for what each Twitter post has. 1. The one you planned on writing...... 2. The one that actually gets posted.... 3. The one that the reader comprehends...... Also, no two people interpret the same tweet in the same way. 😁😁😁

Seems almost like the recipe of policy positions you try and implement if you were terrified of widespread global deflation taking hold...... Seems like I've read about this before.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Current situation: 1. The US is preparing $2,000 stimulus checks 2. Japan is preparing a $110 billion stimulus package 3. China has approved a $1.4 trillion stimulus package 4. The Fed is officially ending QT on December 1st 5. The US is issuing~$1.9 trillion in treasures per

What about our current ag system causes him to care so much about the looks around his farm, but be blind to the destruction of his soil? It seems totally counterintuitive......🤔🤔🤔

Drove past a guy on our way to church this morning who was out mowing the highway ditch alongside his land. Everything is perfectly manicured and he spends an inordinate amount of time curating grass, gravel, trees. Tenant has a gigantic 9 shank chisel plow parked in the field.

Beautiful November day!
"OMG, I can't believe you spent $70/acre on cover crop seeds after wheat!" Well, digestible fiber and high quality forage is cheap to produce and expensive to truck in. This is higher in calories than our bmr corn silage!!!

What a dogshit response to the question "what have conservatives conserved?" >American conservatism has conserved our constitutional republic through times of war, recession, and cultural upheaval. No you didn't. Half the country thinks and acts as though the US is a

This Fourth Turning gonna be lit! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 My prediction is that it will be generational and interior focused in nature. A power struggle between competing visions against maintaining the status quo. The young will reject the old and ultimately come out on top.
⚡️What you’re seeing here, this data about 61-year-old homebuyers and a collapsing base of first-time buyers, is civilizational entropy. It’s what happens when a society stops believing in its own future, but keeps pretending it does through credit, policy, and spectacle. The

@Stevemac270 @twotthree64 I agree with all those numbers. I'm just saying maybe they reflect the true cost of production for them and land should get cheaper in light of those pressures. As COP increased why hasn't land gone down? Either in rent or purchase price? If it's competition then someone else

Things used to routinely go to zero, or asset holders would be forced to take 50% haircuts during random market corrections. Now, we can't allow clearing events and we actively bail out poor decisions made in the name of speculation. That's the root of resentment.
All the resentment and envy against boomers is astonishing to me. The headline ought to be the amount of pending opportunity because there’s soon to be 80 trillion dollars of wealth turned over to future generations.

@CBKimbrell Ill take the other side of this since I see it unfold all to often. And full disclosure, no resentment. Just what I see unfolding around me every day. IMO its not being being turned over to future generations. Its being turned over to corporations, and hear me out (you are

Using his own language- "-nor the leverage it creates for future investments, nor the opportunities for resale." The financialization and over use of leverage is what has caused asset values to explode relative to wages. Things used to go bad, and the piper would be paid.
I disagree @Cernovich May I respectfully offer a rebuttal from my own experiences 🙏 People today love to wax nostalgic about the good 'ole days of buying a home 'cheap'... because they never had to endure the economy back then, when homes were 'cheap'. They only see how it all

Exit liquidity for a system reaching the end of its demographic cycle.
⚡️The 50-Year Mortgage represents the next evolutionary phase in the American debt engine. It's a mechanism for extending the lifespan of leverage so the system can keep functioning under record debt saturation. To understand what’s happening, you have to step back from

Thoughts? This is a big driver of the "land as a safe investment" theory. Preferential tax treatment on ag land. In our area it's taxed at "use value" not actual. Would a change like this lead to more crop share agreements to get around the tax?
@FarmrHuntr Why isn’t land owned for tenant income taxed as comercial property? I believe lower ag property taxes are one policy that was intended for those producing to be incentivized with margins that keeps food cost low, but this has over the years been exploited by investors and

Here was my response to JR's question. What are some ways that you think we can move down the path to a different future in agriculture?
For real Friday. Ignore the gatekeepers and bust through the wall. Some of us want to see a phoenix rise from the ashes others want the warmth of the fire. Many of us want a new system. Find folks to build that with.

⚡️This statistic is the perfect encapsulation of a dying system trying to reframe its decay as progress. When I look at that number - “the average 45–54-year-old American is nearly a millionaire” - what I actually see is an economy that has lost the ability to distinguish wealth
The average 45-54-year-old American 🇺🇸 has a net worth of ~$975,000 The median net worth is around $247,000

Agriculture........
There’s a lesson in the New York election best told by two adages: 1) Those who don’t experience the love of the village will burn it down to feel its warmth 2) Those who have no stake in a system, would rather see that system destroyed When younger people see no future, have
