Mark your calendars for August 13!

Free lunch, precision ag info, and (we assume...) Derek Chevraux 's bad jokes?!

You'd be crazy to miss this field day at Century 12 Farms!

RSVP directly to Derek (but tell him PFS sent ya...)

Influencers love to make money by selling you “healthy” food! And the easiest way to do this is by using scare tactics. I have heard the “glyphosate in your bread causes cancer” so many times by people with no scientific data to back that claim up! First of all, if you remember Biology 10, humans have a different digestive system than plants do. Glyphosate works by shutting down the EPSPS pathway, something humans don’t have!

PSA: If you think Big Pharma is hiding a miracle cure, I’ve got some news that might be harder to swallow than horse paste: Ivermectin is made by Merck. 💊

Merck is a $200+ billion corporation. If they could legally package this as the "Be-All-End-All Cure™" and charge you $500 a pill for it, they would be doing backflips in the boardroom. Instead, they’re literally out here telling people to stop taking it for things it … DOESN’T TREAT.

It’s great for deworming a 1,200lb gelding or clearing up a specific parasitic infection. But using it for anything else isn’t "thinking outside the box" because it’s actually just being delusional in the barn.

Unless you’ve got literal worms, you’re just a person with a very expensive, very unnecessary laxative. 🐴✨

And that’s my sermon for today.

Day 1 Seeding adventures: First round we blew an o-ring and a coupler and covered the tractor in oil! Cost of today: $71.10 per acre for pea seed and $28.00 per acre for fertilizer for a total on the 133 acres of $13,180.00. That does not include cost of diesel, equipment, or land payments!
