Mom’s birthday is April 23rd and Dad’s is May 20th. If we have much done by mom’s birthday it’s a good spring and by dad’s birthday we can see the light at the end of the tunnel for planting. This year fits those guidelines. The spring had a slow start, but has leveled out and has given us a nice window to get caught back up. Currently about 85% done on corn and 100% on beans. More important, conditions have been pretty good and crops are emerging and look strong.

Stress doesn’t always show up the way you’d expect.

Sometimes it looks like shorter patience, trouble sleeping, or just feeling more worn down than usual.

Farming is rewarding, but it also comes with a unique kind of pressure—and over time, that can start to add up.

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth paying attention to.

For generations, food assistance programs have been folded into USDA funding. Therefore, politicians threw around gross spending as if it all went to farmers. We think it’s right to separate them. There was a time when excess food was given through USDA programs. Now it’s just a funding item. It makes sense to call it like it is. We now will know where the money goes.

“Looks ready” can be misleading.

That’s where risk gets introduced. When we make uniform decisions across non-uniform environments, we increase the likelihood of creating problems that don’t show up immediately, but can impact performance all season long.

Not every acre is ready at the same time.
