Every time I post/comment. I get a couple of bimbos liking my post. Girls, 1) just because it has tractors in the picture does not mean male 2) have a little respect put some damn clothes on and use your brain. Trust me, men think there is nothing sexier than pretty and smart
Share this, it’s about time the heard from us. Rip them a new one! They have every bit of it and then some coming!
The @USDA does not understand the loss of trust and confidence the American farmer has in them, and only radical change will regain it. Fill out the survey, and share this message if it resonates with you. forms.gle/oz9iHcD9XZCjP1Tq5
The irony of being a FARM kid. Your mom has to drive you to the field and when you get to the field your dad let you drive a piece of equipment that cost more than your house.
Whoever left their gremlins at our farm please come get the little devils. We would like to make some progress today 😡

🔥🚨 BREAKING — Sen. Mitch McConnell was just seen for the FIRST TIME in more than 3 MONTHS:
He had to be WHEELED OUT of his D.C. house behind a wall of police while the Senate was already voting without him.
That is a sitting senator on the way to the capital to vote on legislation after Ninety-plus days of silence.
How is his senate seat still being treated like a functioning office?

@SecScottBessent Stop sending OUR tax dollars to support colleges who support hating Americans! 🤬
We do NOT have to live like this!
In fiscal year 2024, NSF data show CMU spent about $280 million of federally funded research and development money. The Department of Defense was the largest source (roughly $107 million), followed by the National Science Foundation (~$79 million) and HHS/NIH (~$50 million).
CMU’s own figures for fiscal year 2025 put total research spending above $727 million, with just under $456 million coming from federal agencies. Broader tallies of all federal awards (research plus student aid such as Pell Grants and other programs) often fall in the $360–500 million range depending on the year and accounting method.
A large share of the defense-related money flows through CMU’s Software Engineering Institute, a federally funded research and development center. These amounts fluctuate with congressional appropriations, agency priorities, and new awards; they are not a fixed annual appropriation. State funding is much smaller, and foreign support (notably from Qatar for the Doha campus) is reported separately.
Oh yippee screwing fuel some more
BREAKING: ExxonMobil's 275,000 barrel per day Joliet oil refinery in Illinois has suffered a "total power outage," with heavy black smoke from emergency flaring visible for miles, as US diesel sits at a record $6.20 a gallon, per GasBuddy.
A total power outage at a refinery this size is highly unusual. It forces an emergency shutdown of every unit at once, with the crude and intermediates in the system flared off, which is the smoke. BP's Whiting refinery in Indiana, the largest in the Midwest, is already partially down for maintenance, putting pressure on Great Lakes gasoline and diesel supply.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Joliet refinery's power outage occurred on Sunday with power restored that evening, triggering flaring. Diesel prices are at a record high above $6/gal. BP's Whiting refinery is operating during a months-long union lockout and is not down for maintenance. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/e… reuters.com/business/energ… bp.com/en_us/whiting-…
A mad dog 2020 chilling in a snow bank for later. On a full moon summer night on horseback riding TO the bar with a Zima. I kid you not they had several hitching posts… and yes I did absolutely all of that!
Hey @_TheMizzouTiger we didn’t want you to be the only one breaking etiquette rules. Thought we would join you 🤦♀️
After everything was grounded I sat with my back against the drying bin. I clearly remember the feel of the heat, the smell of the corn. It was a cool evening an usual quietness, but most striking was the lack of contrails that are ever present in the fall.
Worth 12 minutes of your time

I'm 69, and I've seen more than my share of BS.
But Don't believe I have ever seen a Senate Majority Leader be as Intentionally Ineffective as @LeaderJohnThune .
And I've never seen 52 other Repub senators adoringly refer to such a person - as their "Beloved Leader".
Insane!
Hey dumbass @LeaderJohnThune pass the SAVE ACT
Holy shit, just maybe🤞. HOWEVER CONGRESS NEEDS TO MAKE IT LAW, AND GET OFF THEIR ASS! @LeaderJohnThune
Chuck Grassley just asked Trump to do for farmers what he did on drug prices.
American companies sell seed, fertilizer, and chemicals cheap overseas. Brazil gets the discount. U.S. farmers pay a 68% premium on corn seed.
Squeeze the cartel.
Skip the $11 billion Band-Aid.
Stand with American farmers. 🇺🇸
Hey @lisamurkowski time to vote yes
🚨MURKOWSKI PROVED WRONG🚨
@JamesOKeefeIII has done it again!
He went to the remote Aleutian Islands in Alaska, where Senator Murkowski said these voters would have to travel to Anchorage just to register to vote.
James visited the Unalaska Public Library & the clerk stated that voters CAN register to vote there
as well as prove citizenship.
This video proves that there is no reason for Senator Murkowski to be against the SAVE America Act.
It makes you wonder why Murkowski is against this country-saving legislation when her voters want it.
Didn’t think about it from this perspective, he has a point. Until DC listens to farmers without an agenda and clicks, we will not get policies that actually benefit ag. You can write, make calls, etc on your own. Do so NOW.
