Hot herbicide mixes in rice come with the territory. The stress they put on your crop doesn't have to. That's what Relax RX is for. FSR Seth Busby found the untreated load in 10 minutes. The difference was written all over the plants.

You think getting tags in western ND is hard now, wait until all the BLM land is gone soon thanks to fraud @RepFedorchak. When you finally get a tag you won’t have anywhere to even hunt.
H.R. 2252, the North Dakota Trust Lands Completion Act, just passed the House of Representatives unanimously! 🧵 Here’s what it means for North Dakotans:

Just in case you weren’t already mad enough about fertilizer prices ….Fertilizer companies making huge profits while farmers struggle to afford all the fertilizer they need…. 🤔. I wonder how that DOJ antitrust investigation is going? 🙄

Using tissue or sap tests to make in season N recommendations is like checking your fuel rail pressure to see if you’ve got enough fuel to make it to your destination.

Good morning! Except to planted corn that’s germinated. That is having a bad morning. #CorkscrewEngage

We don’t need a huge increase in fertilizer production. Some yes. But how about we start with not grossly over applying it? The industry needs to stop lying to farmers about how much they actually need. Start there and you’ll free up minimum 40% of current usage.
Sec. Rollins announced U.S. could expand: Nitrogen by over 30% Phosphate by over 200% Potash by over 100% ...I have questions. Will these increases help competition or just build the current players? Why were these increases not already happening? We have a finite amount of phosphate rock...are we just going to run out faster now? Does the market need more potash given low and steady prices? Sorry, in a pissy mood for a Wednesday.

If you are out planting corn in NoDak already you haven’t learned anything in your farming career. I don’t care what your soil temps were yesterday or the day before. It’s April and freezing temps in forecast. Go plant beans until mid may.

One of the aspects I value most about agriculture is that no two days (or seasons) are ever the same. Today, I spent time planting block trials with various planter box treatments. It brought up a simple but important question: What do I hope to learn from this? Whether it’s biological inputs, planting populations, foliar applications, or hybrid and variety comparisons, there is always an opportunity to gain insight. Each trial represents a chance to better understand what drives performance and efficiency in the field. In an industry facing tight margins from low commodity prices and rising input costs, challenges are pushing innovation forward. Farmers are being asked to adapt, refine, and make more data-driven decisions than ever before—and with that comes tremendous opportunity. The truth is, I don’t yet know exactly what this year’s trials will reveal. And that uncertainty is what makes the process so rewarding. These trials are more than experiments… they are opportunities to learn, improve, and grow. Looking forward to the season ahead and the lessons it will bring.

Well today 💩 hit the fan and operation poverty grass is in full swing. One more false spring and we can think about beans???…#plant26 #baselinerx

No. Abolish all income taxes. Sales and use tax only. I shouldn’t have to file taxes at all.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

Over time, the fertilizer conversation is dominated by the simple idea: more nutrients = more bushels. We must ask ourselves: “Are my fertility dollars actually working for me?” 👉 Read more here: bwfusion.com/proof/blog/nutr…

"Isn't this just expensive molasses?" No. Here's why. Molasses: feeds a narrow range of microbes, and can throw populations out of balance. PhycoTerra: complete proteins, lipids carbs. Activates diverse communities. Immediately bioavailable. A sugar rush vs. a balanced meal. Your biology knows the difference. #FarmForever #SoilScience

Awesome to see others in the industry catching on to what we’ve been preaching for 10 years. You can’t manage what you don’t measure. @Agronomy365
Soil tests used to mean N, P & K. But the real yield story might be in soil biology. At #CommodityClassic, Damian talks with Mike (Calibrated Agronomy) & Austin (@EarthOptics). #farming #agriculture #soilhealth Watch: bit.ly/4bokpZw

With the recent increases in all forms of nitrogen, we may see a startling result. Increase yields by not over applying nitrogen. There I said it. More yield is lost from over applying, than under. Test for yourself.

#Hottake if u want to give crops the best chance at season long efficiency stop using starter fertilizer. It delays association and the plant has to work harder to maintain pathways in. Only exception is risk of fallow syndrome.

NEVER look at one aspect of the soil or one metric to make a sound recommendation. Everyone talks how many organisms are in a teaspoon of soil yet ignore it when it comes time to make a rec. Beware of “experts” that spent 10 min researching if it matters. We are 15 years in
#WEOC has become a hot topic and for good reason. Does it matter? YES A LOT! When doesn’t it matter? When you’ve destroyed your soils physically (structure) or chemically (overloaded with fert). Both env have ⬇️ bio activity therefore WEOC has less influence.

Calling yourself or any member of congress an adult is laughable. The most whiney, immature humans in America. You’re all an embarrassment to our nation.
Stick to sports. You’re at least half-right there. Your whiny-ass ain’t going to an Iran battlefield anytime soon. It’ll be poor kids from where I grew up. Life must be pretty comfy in your suite. Stick to judging your favorite pizzas. The adults will sort out the wars.
