My house was built in 1914 and still has a few of the original light switches in it. Ya all ever seen these before? Kinda neat. I’m thinking I might live in the oldest house on agtwit. Lol
We laid a young fella to rest today
He battled for over 5 years
When he was told there is nothing more we can do, Tripper said “I get to see God!”
There was a place prepared for him
Just out of curiosity packers bidding 170 and selling at 220 for 500$ margin, and people getting arrested for selling disinfectant, hand sanitizers, and masks because they’re taking advantage of the situation. 🤷🏼♂️
Last night I ordered a glass of wine with my dinner, and the waiter asked to see my ID. I replied, “Do I look that young?” The waiter said, “No. I just wanted to see if you qualified for the senior discount.”
Dairy pulled into the field today across the road with a brand new JD chopper and put the spout in the air and grounded it out on the high wires and sent a fire ball up in the sky and a gazillion amps thru the machine. Wasn’t so good for it.
Hidden in the 3.5 T go green deal is a fee for methane emissions that will charge 6500 per dairy cow, 2600 per head on cattle and 500 per head on hogs. This **** is getting out of hand.
On Monday we’re gonna celebrate the final payment on the home place!! 👏🍺🍺🍺🍺
(For the 3rd time in my life)
You guys that feed livestock might understand this
We try our best but it’s up to God to give the increase. Getting closer to ‘88 here. Drove from Rock Valley to Round Lake and every corn field was showing moisture stress, all knee high or less.
So at St Jo plant they tested everyone after one person tested positive. The first 735 results are in, 92 positives with zero symptoms. Think about that for a minute.
Approximately 1 year ago we dumped some big hogs for $64.40 per head.
This week we sold hogs for $250.70 per head. Absolutely crazy the difference a year makes.
Tidbit for the day-
In 2013 Brazil shipped 8 million pounds of beef product per month to the US
So far in 2022 Brazil has shipped 46 million pounds of beef product per month to the US
So the designer who made the “tax the rich” dress owes taxes in multiple states🤷♂️
Lol you can’t make this stuff up
Withheld taxes from workers paychecks and never sent the money to the IRS
Oh the irony
My sweet corn was darn good but my field corn looks a little tired. Medium quality dirt in of all places, Iowa. 4 ears in a row. APH is 218. I might take a bushel off the Iowa yield all by myself 🤣🤣 It’s way worse than I even imagined.
One of the benefits of high priced gas is our daughter comes home to see us on most weekends! She stops and fills her tank on dad before she heads back to the city😂. Smart girl
If you’re a pork or beef producer or involved in the processing or selling of meat, Harris just told you the democrats are gonna eliminate you. Yikes they’ve become bold.
@Bvan_32
was recognized tonight as one of a whole bunch of good football players who together made a great team! Congrats
@NWCredraider_FB
on an awesome season! Go Red Raiders‼️
Sweet Corn was tipped over Saturday night with the storm, NW wind of 35 stood er back up today. It’s really tall too. Seeing tassels poking out and it’s knee to waist high. Ears will be at eye level to the coons way it looks.
Well here it is! My little girl
@CassieVB11
graduated from USF with honors today! Congrats girl! Coaching BHRV softball this summer than teaching 3rd grade at Discovery in SF this fall.
My friends wife had been going thru these crazy tuff rounds of chemo and it would wipe her out. Rough stuff. After having some tests and scans done she was notified yesterday that she was cancer free.
Hallelujah!
Corn was planted April 26 in extreme NW IA. The next 2 nights were 22 & 23 degrees. Had a frost on it mid May and not a lot of GDU’s so far. We’ll see what God has in store for it the rest of the season
Great news!
@Bvan_32
just called up his dad and said he passed his 4th and final test and now has the letters CPA behind his name! Stud on and off the field. Congrats‼️
@NWCredraider_FB
The excitement and enthusiasm say it all. Discovery elementary in Sioux Falls just got themselves a heckuva teacher.
Congrats girl!
She’s done nothing her whole life but make this guy proud to be her dad.

Have you ever had a piece of equipment that you’ve thought about loading it on a trailer and not tying it down and take it down the road really fast around sharp corners?
Sioux City Iowa is drier this year than 1976 which is their driest year on record by almost 2”. It’s an epic disaster. A field was appraised this week at 2 bu/acre in that area. I was told the farm has raised 200 in the past.
The beef packer monopoly isn’t just screwing the beef producers over, it’s screwing every beef consumer in the US. That’s a lot of people they’re taking advantage of.
My boss asked me, “Can you come in on Saturday this week? I know you like your weekends, but I need you here.” I said, “Yeah, but I might be late though as the public transport is bad on weekends.” He said, “That’s ok. When do you think you will get here then?” I replied, Monday
@Bvan_32

@CassieVB11
big brother Tyler would have turned 27 yesterday. He had to go on ahead without us. Cannot wait to walk those golden streets with you!
Just finished the closeout on a group of 5000, they lose 221,000$. We occasionally enjoy the delicacy of Tiefenthaler brat patties cuz they’re really good. Flipped the package over cus the price sticker was hid on the back. 5.59$ a lb. WTF is wrong here?
Keep in mind I’m only a livestock guy but this is science-
Historically, as viruses evolve, they tend to become less deadly, as mutations that allow them to transmit more easily
But that doesn’t fit the rhetoric
The candles were lit on every hill and valley last night
Guarantee western sioux county broke a record for diesel use
Saw combines, trucks, rakes, balers, manure spreaders, manure tanks, disks, and rippers all in the high hole
Looking at 3 days of 40-80% chances of rain go by with 2 sidewalk wetters and the driest soil profile since 1976…..I hope China keeps canceling cargos of corn

As I look out and see the impending storm and think of all the things that have been happening in our country and affecting literally everything I do to try to be the provider for my family, I can still say, “We will praise You in the storm.” He is Risen! Happy Easter all!
