Because I need a crazy hobby growing something that isn’t corn and soy beans I’m considering planting pawpaw trees.

subscribe FREE to me on Substack. Today: The U.S. isn't short of diesel. The world is. So would banning U.S. diesel exports actually lower prices? It might sound like an easy fix. But once you look at refinery economics and how fuel actually moves, the answer gets complicated. Click below.

Trump is apparently talking about buying potash from Belarus. Belarus is sanctioned and they have no port of their own to ship through. In my career, I have used Belarussian potash. It is usually garbage quality. Very dusty, full of fines from the many times it has to be loaded and unloaded

I received both of these newspapers in yesterday’s mail. One of them is from July. For 20 years, no delivery issues. The last two years, horrendous.

this talk of “running out” of diesel is THE madness. the U.S. is sitting on 4.08 BILLION gallons of (<15ppm) distillates today, which is up from 4.05 billion a wk ago. just bc a few stations have issues does not mean a nationwide crisis is brewing. now sit down & relax plz.

I just met a Romanian who came to our farm to buy hay. Dad somehow got on the topic of Putin, and the dude flat out declared Ukraine was not a country. I did not know that attitude was common in Romania.

I quit going to local barbershops because they all had Fox News blathering. The only talk radio on air for decades is massively conservative. If you want to know ‘how America could do this’ it’s because of right wing propaganda like this, constantly fed into our brains at all times

the truly crazy making part of all of this is that voter fraud EFFECTIVELY DOES NOT EXIST. you have a better chance of finding an actual leprechaun at the end of the rainbow than of finding evidence of voter fraud that influences an election

This is gold. The Bulwark did a montage of every time Trump has said he was abut to give Americans a check for a variety of reasons. All of the promises were complete BS, of course. #DonTheCon

Didn’t really do much for the weekend. Did hang out with friends Friday night but that’s it. Worked yesterday testing drones. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Jenne is not much for socializing and as I’ve gotten older I’ve sort of fallen into that.

#UkrainianView why it is that so many more Ukrainian civilians have been killed compared to Russian ones? Many reasons, the main one is that for russians systemic murder of Ukrainian population is a warfare instrument.🔽

No drone flying today! Dense fog right now, possible storms later. Or if no storms, just too breezy anyway. I’ll go drop $5k of invoices in the mail, and go look at a few fields

The agronomy consultant whose customers are also most of my customers informed me today that they are all cutting back or not doing any fungicide application this year, due to current very dry weather. Fungus needs moisture to be a problem.
