To everyone that thinks all animals should be raised outside on sunshine pastures. Please show up at my confinement barns 6 AM tomorrow morning after 10” of snow and 40 MPH winds are blowing and tell me how inhumane we are for spending millions on climate controlled buildings.
Contrary to popular belief. I left the farm Friday to attend my daughters first ever cheer competition on Saturday. The work was magically still here today. Take the time to be a parent. This ground doesn’t love you.

So tomorrow is the day. For 2 years I’ve wanted to own a kill plant. It started with designing a new one then 1 conversation turned into me buying out a well established local business. As of tomorrow 8 AM I am the proud owner of the Gilbertville Locker.

The problem isn’t “nobody wants to work” the problem is “nobody wants to work for shit pay and a shitty boss.” So if you can’t find anyone. Reevaluate your wage, benefits, and your attitude/culture of the business. Guessing you have multiple red flags.
Hate to break it to all the get out and vote crowd. Republican or Democrat everyone still going to be divided. Trump isn’t the problem. We all are. Politicians should not be treated like your favorite sports team.
Planting when you should wait another day for the land to dry out but there is a forecast of rain for tomorrow.😅😅🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

An entire island is for sale in Alaska. 8800 hd cattle, processing facilities for 1000 Hd a year. 1/2 million acres of grazing. Who’s wants to go in with me.
Let’s say this together. A female gymnast can make a decision to pull out of a competition for mental health reasons. It doesn’t effect you. Get over yourself
Local farm just got rented out @ $405/acre. This is why I hope some go broke. What’s the point of working just to lose money or at the very best break even?

farmers are idiots.
It was 75 and sunny. One of the few perfect Sundays in Iowa ever year. My family spent it outside playing and having a great time.
I got up at 5am and I’ll get home around 11pm. All to plant a crop that will most likely loose money.
PSA for the world, if I have my blinker on and I’m slowing down to turn. If you lay on your horn to try and hurry me along. I am absolutely petty enough to come to a complete stop in the highway just to piss you off more

Good thing the 2A isn’t for the rise of the deer.
But if you wanted to take hunting into this. The AR platform is great to get young kids into shooting. From pistol grips and adjustable stocks to help them control the firearm. To the lack of kick to help learn accuracy
So my wife and I have 3 children. 2 boys and 1 girl. The boys are biologically 1 of mine 1 of my wife. I’ve always been the only”dad” in my wife’s sons life. Today the courts granted me to be his full legal father. Long time coming and he and I couldn’t be happier.
@JoeBiden
Biden: "Those who say 'the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots' -- a great line, well, guess what: The fact is, if you’re going to take on the government you need an F-15 with Hellfire Missiles. There is no way an AK-47 is going to take care of you."
If my family goes broke during this time. I want everyone to know. It wasn’t the crashing markets. Or the fact that my wife’s business got shutdown. It was her deciding to repaint and decorate every last room in this house with her spare time
The 2020 election cost 14 billion to the parties. Yet flint still doesn’t have clean water, kid’s are going hungry, and vets don’t get proper care after they get home.
Do you really think these crooks have the countries best interest in mind?
The amount of taxes someone pays doesn’t matter to anyone else. Stop bitching about rich dudes not paying income tax. Their rich for a reason they are smarter then most. Especially smarter then the dumbfucks writing the code

& traffic unit. W/ its low profile graphics you'll never see it coming, especially at night. Make sure you're not speeding, wear your seatbelt, and stay sober behind the wheel.
The amount of people on my TL that think the halftime show was inappropriate is funny. Sure the same people watch dancing with the stars. Same dances same outfits. Young children didn’t even notice. Unless YOU made a big deal about it
That gap is the line between my neighbor and me. We don’t need a fence because we respect each other. Be like Charlie and me.

Evolution of my marriage
First couple years
Wife: I don’t want harvest to start you’ll never be home.
Just now
Wife: whens combing going to start? I really want a 2 month vacation from you.
This year might be the first time I’ve seen guys planting corn, planting beans, working ground, pre emergence spraying, post emergence spraying, and sidedressing all in the same day in the same township
#plant19
When you think about firing off that tweet why Confinement Livestock is a waste of money or somehow bad for said cattle. Go stand out in the wind and weather the upper Midwest has right now. Glad all my livestock has roofs and walls
My 91 yr old grandpa rode with me combining 70 acres of beans today. Right before he got out he congratulated me on not seeing a single weed.

The Farmers are going to be so happy when they see what we are doing for Ethanol, not even including the E-15, year around, which is already done. It will be a giant package, get ready! At the same time I was able to save the small refineries from certain closing. Great for all!
It’s D-Day let’s take a day off of markets and weather maps and appreciate all the men and women of all races and countries that faced more than any of us ever will.
Want to see what’s wrong in the world? Read this tread. Mad and downright hateful for what? A guy that doesn’t dress like you? The only losers here are the ones judging him.
Before you tell a person with tattoos or custom colored hair what you think about it. Just step back and remember they don’t give a fuck about your opinion.
Has anyone that’s self employed ever sat down and figured total hrs worked. Then just put a medium wage in ($20/hr) Add in time and a half for over 40hr/week. Then added in benefits to see what they could make in a “normal” job? I just did. I’m stupid and don’t make enough
Im going to keep a marketing plan and sell in increments as we continue to go up. Maybe im wrong. Maybe this thing pops and every bull gets slaughtered. Least I’ll still be alive if it doesn’t.

> Hitting the high
We need more of this. I fully support your right to protest. I also fully support the consequences of you blocking traffic. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
People that have their farm name on all the equipment. Are you worried you’ll forget your last name? Want everyone to know every last acre you farm? I don’t get it
The saying goes “never ask anyone to do what you wouldn’t do yourself.” Great advice. Now when you complain that no one wants to work. Ask yourself would you do what your asking of them? That job, hours, & especially at that compensation? Be honest with yourself.
#StopComplaining
Am I the only farmer that thinks most other farmers are hypocrites? We bitch about end user prices while still bidding up each other for land, cattle, ect.
If you’re a young guy and dad is still full time farming so you don’t have access to family infrastructure. See if there’s any Dairies around not getting used. Lots of guys retiring and no one behind them. Then think outside the box. Might surprise yourself how cheap it really is
So Brianna Taylor & Duncan Lemps murderers are still walking free. Epstein still is a mystery, Vegas has been forgotten about. A huge world wide sex trafficking ring is getting covered up right under our eyes. Yet everyone wants to argue about masks and a bullshit virus
Canada is freezing bank accounts today. How long until they simply refuse medical service to anyone in a list? Seems like single payer isn’t a real great idea….again
Interesting fact I learned last night. The Tyson plant in Jolsin Illinois has the highest graded cattle in the USA. That means the best cattle are fed in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconisn,and Missouri. So suck it you high plains fucks
Remember that time when congress members sold off stocks after a Ed door covid meeting right before they shut down the economy? I mean I’d be sweet if the media covered that the way their covering the Reddit gang
AgTwitter: OMG I work so hard all day long! I deserve government money. Thank me I feed you!
Also AgTwtter: Look at this video of my 5 yr old doing the same job I do! He’s soooo talented
Calling all Direct to Consumer Beef and Pork farmers in Iowa. The Gilbertville Locker is looking for your business. If you are having trouble getting into lockers or not getting enough animals in we are expanding our kill and want to service the Direct to Consumer Market.
Farmers:I just want the USDA to get it right.
USDA:Here’s a questioner please fill it out.
Farmer:Ya right it’s my data.
USDA:Ok how about we tag along a private tour?
Farmer: OMG your trespassing! Betty grab the shotgun!
USDA:
Farmer:
Trump: fuck farmers and ethanol
Think I’m just going to ask my banker for more money this year and not pay back last years note. Tell him it’s ok the government said new higher debt will pay for my old debt
Biden: "We're able to borrow because we always pay our debt. We always pay what we owe. We've never failed... Raising the debt limit is about paying off our old debts."
Hey remember when all the people got mad because I called the great American farmer lazy and said they average one doesn’t work hard? This is why. No Amishman that farms full time is fat. My point stands. We may cover a lot of acres but the work isn’t “hard”
Last week weather guys said hot all week long. 60s with clouds so far. Only people that can be continually wrong and keep their jobs are Economist and weather forecasters
