      This year do you think if you rented the hole farm out do you think you would have made more money or farming it all out in the end ? This is a question because we got a farm by a family member passing away .

    I have watched every episode of your soybean and corn harvest. I am in awe of how you all worked such long hours to get it completed and then turn around and help your neighbors. The planning and logistics to get the grains in the silos coupled with the added pressure of keeping the equipment running was an eye opener for me. I have great respect for all of you…Cole, Cooper, Daddy Constar, Roman and the ladies who had hearty meals ready for you at night. I have really enjoyed your grandfather’s mansion renovation and look forward to seeing what you do next with the movie theater. I love your positive attitude your boundless energy and your work ethic. I have the highest respect and gratitude for what you do! Blessings to all of you. Thank God for our farmers and what they provide! 🌽⭐️🫶

    I remember a time in this country when people would just show up to help when they heard someone needed help. A lot of times the people who showed up might not even know you but just wanted to help. Im very happy to see that what I remember from years ago is still alive in parts of our country.
    In the cities anymore you may not even know your neighbors and that's really sad . I make a point to meet new neighbors and at least offer to help them if they ever need help. Most of my neighbors are great people and friends ,but there are a couple of neighbors that have made it clear that they don't want to be what I call neighborly and dont want anything to do with anyone in our culdasac ,which is thier choice but I really feel sorry for them and in all honesty I don't understand how people can be that way. I'm 75 and was raised on a ranch so I learned a lot of skills , I'm constantly helping my young neighbors work on thier homes ,cars and lawn equipment. They are all very appreciative and we've have become good friends over the years. Maybe that's why what your family and others did for your neighbor hit a nerve in my heart. Now if only the rest of our country would follow your families examples the world would be a better place.

    The crazy thing is that based on your yield and the price you sold those crops 6 months ago for, even if you sold everything at those prices, you would still be at a projected loss. It's such a sad state that a critical industry struggles to break even, especially when you guys had a record year. But then you compare that to the companies that rely on farmers for business (fertilizer, seed, equipment, etc.); they all have record profits.

  • @marilynwoodard7961

    It seems like a Catch-22 for farmers; when yields are low, prices are high, and when yields are high, prices are low. Good for you (all) for having the guts to put in your own bins (may God give your justice!.) It must be a constant test of your faith. May God bless and prosper you.

    we had a younger neighbor die just as harvest was about to start a few years back and he was fairly well liked by everyone , so they had 4 different farms all pitch in and help them get their crops all out. The guy was only in his late 40s so it was a sudden thing. It was awesome to see how fast his fields were all empty. Good people helping good people always works out well in times like that.

    One morning we were taking a load of grain.(Can't remember if it was soybeans or wheat.) To the elevator over on the Mississippi River. Left bright and early so we could maybe make 3 loads in a day. Got to the levie at the Mississippi River and there was a line of trucks at least 1/2 long. The elevator was full and they were waiting on a river barge to be parked at the unloading dock. You could see the barge about 3/4 mile down the river coming upstream. The river was up a little and the current was such that the poor tugboat was not big enough to gain any distance coming up the river. So they called for another tugboat for help. So we got to sit on the levie and watch the river flow by for about 4 hours before finally getting the truck to the head of the line to unload. This was not during harvest so it was just a good break in our normal hauling routine.
    This was back in the late 70's.
