Welcome to Farmers for the Future!

Latest Activity

I am going to try and make it but we will just be returning from the National Farm Machinery Show on the 14th so it might be a little tough to turn around the next day and leave again.

Hey, Matt. Like that thing? I'm actually writing a story for Agriculture.com about these beasts. Is it as mean as it looks?

Hey you sure missed out on a perfect KSU/KU game last weekend. Nice weather, and what a great outcome! Hopefully they can keep it up.

Hi Jeff,
Sometime we have to meet when you are here. I'll keep an eye on the Wildcats for you if you'll keep track of those Cyclones. You do such great work there....keep it up.

Hi Jeff - from what I can tell, you're the man behind this network. Looks/works great. Thanks for the innovation. Do you have any demographic information on the users of the site? I'm in marketing --> demographics are like candy to us. In particular, I'm curious about types of farmers. Are most of the people wheat, dairy, pork, etc? Or are there some fruit, vegetable, nut, lumber, etc. too? Again, thanks!

Certainly at this point in the game "any progress is good progress". Hope to get more out today and we will see if we can dodge the rain tomorrow.

Glad to find this site...technically, I'm not a farmer, but I still stay as close to the farm as I can. My main occupation is as a community banker - ag and commercial lending and crop insurance sales.

My Dad still farms, I help when I can. Pretty small operation, which may prove to be good this year with all the rain (it's coming down steady again!!!). We were fortunate to finish cutting beans last week, and had some corn in the mid-20's, but now we can't get to it. Some guys with better-flotation equipped machines were mudding it out the last day or two, but everything will now be at a standstill again. What a year!

Yes, most everybody has started into corn this morning with the understanding that these pesky beans are just not going to come out without kicking and screaming. Was on the road this morning at daybreak and saw 2 or three combines runnning at sun-up along hwy 18, awfully heavy frost this morning but when you have to go you have to go....... I was in the Mason City area today and what I have been seeing is above average yields with above average moisture and everybody going like crazy until we get shut down again on Thursday. How about you?

Things are starting to pick up, we had a special a few weeks back on irregular Carhartt jackets and sold every single one of them, it was amazing! After that "so called" snow storm at the beginning of Oct. people are starting to think more about what they need to stay warm over the next few months.

Jeff, thanks for welcoming us to the community. Let us know if you need anything for the winter season!

Thanks for the kind note Jeff.

Yes, I was in Frankfurt. It was amazing. I was able to visit a great farm at the foot of a castle in Singen, in the south by Switzerland. Europe has some nice Farmland, almost as nice as what we have here. :)

FORWARD!

Recipe for a record?


It's fall harvest tour week for us here at Agriculture.com. We've got a cool new wrinkle this year. A group of ag reporters from Brazil are here this week to visit some farms and get a sense of how harvest is going. It's going to be fun -- the week's tour is actually starting off today down at the CBOT floor in Chicago, then moving through Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri in the next 5 days.

A co… Continue
