Do you have a retail online store for the products you produce on your farm? If so, reply with a link, a quick description, and then retweet this. There are many great family owned retail operations, and #AgTwitter is a great place to showcase them. I'll pin this thread.

Your morning commodities update: We hate hogs, despite bacon being bomb. Add corn to the hated list. Beans dont like the BZ election results. Must still be out of feeders? Wheat bein wheat. Don't look at the chart if you grow it.

Have they tried offering $5500? I mean, lets make them at least bid it up for the vote.
BREAKING: House Democrats are vowing to make Jeffrey Epstein a top priority if they win back the House next week, per Forbes. Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee released a 50-page report Monday detailing allegations from 11 women suggesting President Trump had some involvement in Epstein’s alleged abuse, and calling on the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel. Only one of the allegations hadn’t been made public before.

NASS just corrected an error in the Sept. WASDE. USDA’s NASS says it found a processing error in September 2026 corn data affecting Kansas, Nebraska and U.S. yield and production forecasts. NASS corrected the September figures, but October’s WASDE forecast remains unchanged: 181.2 bu./acre, up 2.7 bu. from September, with production projected at more than 16 billion bushels. nass.usda.gov/Newsroom//Noti…

While the dry weather continues across the AG Belt, rain chances are on the rise this weekend across the Plains as an upper-level low emerges from the Four Corners. This system brings the risk for heavy rain into early next week. #agwx

NE and IA irrigators looking to clean up a pivot corner, here is a opportunity.
I'm looking for a couple of used e3 Reinke spans to fix a storm damaged pivot.

Current corn harvest discovery price. In order for corn to suffer a loss due to decline in price, Z6 would have to close limit down today and average a close below 3.95 for the rest of the month.

Know the rules on appraised crops. Doing this has an obligation to report production and implications on claims payments.
This field was zeroed out by the insurance man. Full 640 acre section. Farmer asked us to have a poke in to see if there was anything there. Cut over 300 acres in here so far at 37 bu/AC average. 2 miles long. The only zero part is the first 600 yards close to the road

Anyone know the biggest SPREAD between final yield and PFT estimate? Curious if USDA stays pegged here how that compares to other year spreads between PFT/USDA
