All I ask is you read my tweets as they were meant to be written not as they are. I’m here to be civil. Want to disagree great. Want “debate” by dropping F-bombs, I’m not into that and will probably just mute you. You can do you, but I’m not here for that.

8 yrs ago today, My 17 month old son and I more or less walked away from this wreck. On March 31st every yr we pull the kids from school and celebrate Protection Day as a family. It’s a time to reflect on God’s grace, his gifts, and to be thankful for every day we have together

Family friend who gave my son an orphaned calf a couple yrs ago and allows the now cow to run with his fall calving herd over winter sent my son a bill for vet expenses. This was my son’s 1st mailed bill, and this is his paying him with the first check he has ever wrote.

9 yrs ago it was a really pretty morning. I had been playing with my 17 month old son in the front yard before taking him to daycare. 5 min and 4 miles after we left our house a guy blew a stop sign and hit us square in in the cab. We flipped end over end. 1/
9 yrs ago today my son was playing in a loader bucket with dirt, little did we know in under 24 hrs from this pic he would be riding in helicopter. Tomorrow I will share why our family celebrates protection day on March 31st.

5 yrs ago my 1.5 yr old son and I lived through this crash when a guy ran a stop sign. On March 31st we celebrate “protection day” a celebration for surviving the crash and the relationships we have on earth. We celebrate the gift of jesus and heaven in case we hadn’t survived.

His thumb was split in half & fingers mangled. I scream crying how sorry I was, dad in incredible pain didn’t yell, cuss, he just said “it’s not your fault” 1/2

Bayer rewards rebate program that promises money a yr after your purchase now gives you a 10% bonus if you don’t actually collect the rebate and just send that check to your retailer to put against your account. It’s bullshit, just price the damn chem w/o the smoke & mirrors.

Local trucking company had a driver test positive for Covid. No one can enter his truck for 12 days. Can your farm handle not having someone in a planting tractor or sprayer for 12 days in the next couple of months? I know we can’t. So stay away from my place.

I feel like I’m picking on this kid. But this is how you get divorced, get burned out, and become unable to separate your self worth from your net worth. I’m glad his family has grown its farm, but this attitude is why kids don’t come back and wives leave. I know from experience

I feel the same way. Dad always told us growing up that if you had time to go to the lake or go on vacation you weren’t working hard enough.

If you sell your farm’s carbon credits to help someone else be “neutral” I would guess you are no longer “neutral” yourself. Will people who sell their farm’s carbon credits now, have to buy someone else’s credits in the future? Ag Carbon credits look like a Pandora’s box to me
