which seed company will murder you if you try and save their seeds to use next year?

All of them, but notoriously Monsanto. Most corn and soybean seed purchases require a signed contract stating that the grain won't be kept back for planting.

small town kansas farmers fly personal jets irl way more than city people per capita. obviously geography plays a part but also in my experience so does just being big time at doing cow farming. also everyone has their pilots license. both my parents did and we owned an obviously non-jet beechcraft bonanza when I was growing up which I've talked about on here.
The nickname of the Beechcraft Bonanza is “doctor killer”. I’ve never asked my dad how many doctors he shot down in it but will next time I talk to him.

"The Fork-Tailed Doctor Killer."

The SW KS farmers much be much wealthier than the north central KS variety. I only knew one farmer who had a plane and he was mostly a crop duster, not a farmer. Sadly, he died in a plane crash while flying near Ness City in the late 1990s. Investigators determined that carbon monoxide had leaked into the cabin of the plane.

i never understood why rich people are so eager to die in plane crashes.

At lease he died in his sleep; kind of like grampa, and not kicking and screaming like his passengers.  ;)
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

the old "I don't think there's anything wrong but the wife made me get checked out" line you get from these farmers.

LOL, one of these "farmers" has a FORTY SIX ACRE RANCH.

Lets write a real script for "Farmer wants a wife" KS version. Here are my 4 contestants

Ron - 43 year old NW KS farmer, inherited 3000 acres of dryland farming/ranching land and is an aspiring land baron. Never married because Jessica left in in 2000 and he hasn't recovered.

Jordy - 37 year old flint hills rancher who was incredibly successful in a high pressure career and saved enough money in that career to retire early and buy some land where he was from. Local's love him but also hate that he has more money to buy up land they want.

Zeke - 28 year old Hired man, owns no land and has bounced around the plains working on harvest crews and as a hired man. Most attractive of the 4 but has a couple run ins with the law that will add some drama later in the season.

Kayden - 24 year old from Miami county whose family grows 400 acres of row crops on the edge of JOCO and is waiting for a developer to make the right offer. 5 horses (aunts own them)  and lots of dirt bikes/Polaris's etc.

Kayden also runs john deere equipment that he trades in every three years.

Otherwise pretty damn good, Benji.
