Apparently that is a cow cleaning machine, not just a scratching post sort of thing.
People seem to think this video is hilarious but it isn't really that exciting.

Hey guys, me again.

are you spending the 28/acre to get a fungicide applied by air? i was told it would cost 28/acre for fungicide and airplane application. my corn has been tasseling about a week. is now the time? it would take over 7 bushels per acre to break even. the airplanes are thick around here flying it on.
bottom line, would i be breaking even, or is it possible the fungicide will add 20-30 bushels? throwing another 28 at 3-4 corn is a tough one for me to call

Wait, are you trying to actually farm?

Just leave it alone and if the harvest sucks then claim some act of god and have obama cut you a check.

we plant 112 to 115. i can remember my dad planting 16000 to 18000 population back in the 60's. seems like the seed companies have bred the corn not to have ear flex.

Ear can still flex, but each plant usually produced only one ear. Easier to manage one ear per plant than 1-5 ears. You may see 2 ears from year to year, depending on growing conditions through V5.

no

no

DISCLAIMER: I have no experience with goats but my understanding is they will eat tin cans so you can just dump garbage on them and they should be ok

Did you ever scream "Hey boss!" at the cows SD? My dad was a cattle buyer and did this all the time growing up. He said they understood it. Was he lying to me?
