As a former journalist, I am completely confident someone at the New Yorker will be even remotely objective, or sympathetic, to ag. /s

Folks, I am starting to think Plateau by the Meat Puppets has a deeper meaning than bird watching and mopping. 🧐

Just improving the feed rations will decrease methane. We push rate of gain with hot rations, which means more methane. Cows are meant to graze.

It bears repeating.

I don’t get this pretty on my own. I have a whole team behind me. #girldad #realfarming #iowa

Pretty insulting to the folks dealing with avian influenza, who are following proper biosecurity precautions. How did that Eisenhower quote go?

What. The. Everloving. Fuck.

This video is great. What you do on your farm now has effects down the road, both literally and figuratively. I wish more adults had the understanding of these kids. #iowa #soilhealthmatters #regenerativeag

I hope Minnesota will agree to the petition to take the top two tiers of counties in Iowa along when it secedes.

A graph showing the number of people named Miles born per hour. It has grown exponentially since 1980.

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

Do something besides whine on social media. Perhaps go find your spine. Then maybe figure out how to stand up to the petty tyrant.

The sad part of this is that all it would do is add protection for the J6 insurrectionists. Just read about how many cops, federal agents and correctional officers were sympathetic to them, or treated them like celebrities in lock up. It’s sick.

Finally a decent morning. Poor old 806 survived a tornado last year, and probably deserves a repair #iowa #farmlife

It’s called ethnic cleansing. What’s so hard about calling a spade a spade?

Ernst would need a backbone and a conscience for her to stand up to MAGA.

And I’m sure that CBS, once they settle Trump’s lawsuit that they could easily defend, will act like good soldiers and keep sane washing Trump. The Emerald City is a long way from Des Moines.

We bought some portobellos, but I am worried they won’t fit in my fridge. There wasn’t mushroom. I’ll see myself out.

Dammit. Now I need personality AND verve in addition to good looks? Social media is hard.

I live in one of the top egg producing counties in the U.S. Can’t blame this on supply disruption

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Iowa City might not be a good sample either. Random strangers at a Casey’s in Casey might work.

If a feed truck driver shows up to your farm with the words “Bad Attitude” plastered on his back window and it’s sub-zero out, you just best let him do his job in peace. #iowa

Just a little chilly out today. #iowa #wx

Elon just did this…

It’s currently -3F here, with a wind chill of -24. That is 10 degrees warmer than when I did chores the first time this morning. In DC, it’s 26, with a wind chill of 14. Rainier thinks those guys out east are wimps.

I was doing chores this morning in -13 actual air temps. DC feels like shorts weather to this guy.

Is this payback for all that nice weather earlier this year?

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.

The outside temp finally climbed to slightly above zero, so of course my bull decides it’s the perfect time to play in his water.

Rather lazy, snobbish reply. I suggest you attempt proper capitalization or punctuation before you complain about reading and writing skills. Secondly, some concepts may transmit better via than text/photos. It’s easier to show soil health improvements or cattle BCS with video than text alone.
