    I feel the same as you. You don't have to worry about me not following and watching you. I like your videos and agree with you on your statement about to much hate.

      Bigotry is hating something you don’t understand Bob. Bigots can be more than white people.

    Man yeah, so glad y'all got some rain!! It FINALLY drizzled a little this evening at the farm! Seems the struggles are real all over but hoping things get better by the day!! Boy I can't get over how long your hair has gotten in just a few months 😁😁 Those beans are looking good!! It sure has brought the hatred to the surface after the recent events.😢 Thank you Russ for bringing us along, look fwd to seeing whats next 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🌽🌽🇺🇲🇺🇲🌾🌾

    If there are lots of other farmers in the same boat as you, maybe prices will rebound some. I don't understand all the hate either. I feel like people with different views can't hardly have a discussion with one another anymore....

      We are getting plenty of rain now so corn should do a little better. It’s the right time for the soybeans.

    Is basis decent in that area? Our soybean basis is usually good due to local bio plant. Corn is not as good.
    Crops look good around here though.

      Basis on corn can be + or -. We have a lot of chicken feed plants here so it’s all about demand. We usually have a positive basis on beans.

    You can thank us for that rain. We Cut 5 acres of hay trying to make it rain. It did, but it all went south of us. Just got enough to settle the dust. Didn't even register in the rain gauge

      Glad you got some rain we didn't get any today 70 percent tomorrow they say we are really dry but all the early corn here looks good most every stalk has two big ears. Yep it's a Damn shame that they tried to kill president Trump . I've been afraid it would happen. But God was looking out for him.

      Hope the rain you got and I hope you get it the next few days and more will help your corn fill out more. It is what it is and we all have to do the best we can with the conditions. Hope the beans make plenty of pods and fill. Thanks so much for sharing the video Russ. Yes sir I agree with you on the events that have happened and the state of our country. People are getting farther and farther away from God and that's not good and you are so right about the hatred in their hearts. I don't like the current President either but I sure don't want to see him killed either. We forget they are men with families at the end of the day. God Bless Y'all and I am praying for you as well as us in making our crops.
