With the recent USDA foibles, it’s not about looking for math errors in irrigated corn acres or ear length calcs:
-It’s repeated negative reports just as things were looking up
-Reports varying so widely from top analysts
-Negative wildcards in inventories, acres, carryover

The computer picked up October 7 in Israel. Defense stocks started moving a week in advance. Somebody knew.
The SEC used our work after 9/11 to look for who bought airline puts a few days beforehand. Somebody always knows.

🚨 I AM ACTUALLY IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW!
For the FIRST TIME in my life, I strongly agree with Wab Kinew.
He just called on Mark Carney to ABOLISH THE INDIAN ACT.
His argument? Canada should no longer have a race-based form of identification.
EVERY CANADIAN DESERVES EQUAL DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
Never thought I’d say this, but Kinew has started a conversation Canada desperately needs to have.

Looking at a GSI 1608 Mixed flow grain dryer.
I know there is only 1 in Canada down at Carman so just wondering if any US farmers that follow me or someone know of one just wondering about them.
Very happy with my GSI dryer and Glenmore as a dealer.
Thanks if anyone can help

I don't want flying cars.
I want rivers and ocean I can swim in with friends.
I want food that isn't full of toxic chemicals and clean soil to grow it in.
I want raw nature and wilderness and places on the earth I can get lost without seeing another human.
I want air that isn't "geoengineered" and polluted.
Science is cool. Technological advancement is cool, but I don't think this makes us happier as humans.
Real human connection and clean, natural food lead to happiness. This I know. Flying cars? I'm not sure.
Maybe I am a troglodyte...

Didn’t have on my 2026 bingo card that I would be telling my crew to run any equipment near empty on fuel if it looks like we are done with it for the year so we can use that fuel elsewhere to finish harvest.
Me mathing my stored fuel for the finish line……

🌽 Corn's real price peaked over a century ago
The 2025/26 marketing year is $4.16/bushel, but in 2025 dollars the all-time high was $34.91 (1917), with a second peak at $31 (1947). Even 2012's $6.89 was just ~$9.66 today.

Hey jus let the USDA do the estimate. They will find another 120MT of corn
EU CORN HARVEST CRASHES TO A 20-YEAR LOW! 🌽
Europe’s corn market faces a major supply shock in 2026.
🇪🇺 EU corn production: 50.2 million tonnes
📉 Down 12% from 57.1 MT in 2025
📉 18% below the 10-year average of 61.3 MT
🌾 Average yield: 8.6 t/ha vs 9.8 t/ha last year
📈 Consumption: 60.3 MT, up 2%
⚠️ Production deficit: 10.1 MILLION TONNES
The damage is severe across major producers:
🇫🇷 France: -30%
🇭🇺 Hungary: -43%
🇷🇴 Romania: -33%
🇪🇸 Spain: -27%
🇮🇹 Italy: -22%
🇩🇪 Germany: -19%
France and Hungary alone suffered a combined production shortfall of approximately 10.4 MT.
What went wrong?
🌡️ May–June temperatures ran 3–5°C above normal.
☀️ July–August rainfall was 60–80% below normal, hitting crops during critical grain filling.
The warning for global grain markets is clear: lower European corn production combined with rising consumption could increase import demand and tighten regional supplies.
Weather is no longer just a crop story. It is a price driver.
Will global corn exporters benefit from Europe’s massive production gap?

Canada has spent $160 billion on climate change, $25 billion to Ukraine, $100 billion to foreign countries just in the last ten years. None of this has improved Canadians lives. Taxpayers borrowed that $285 billion and now pay interest on it this has to stop.

Does anyone have corn that is within three bushel of last year, seriously? I talked to a lot of farmers and basically no one I know that’s anywhere close to last year..
Joe Wecker retweeted
not the USDA just casually finding over 400 million bushels of corn in the last 2 friggin weeks

Staggering chart that gets even more stark after you consider productivity gains.
Since 1950 the US has lost 97% of its oat acres.

I think if you want to save the world, you’ve got to lock up Zelensky and Netanyahu.
