Define “we”.

I’m sure my and your large cap funds in my 401k include oil companies so I guess we going to profit on some small level. Will it be enough to offset the inflation in caused by global disruption of commodity markets? Idk.

Eh NAFTA was Regan’s baby first, Bush negotiated the terms, but yes, Clinton should have refused to sign it.

“We” don’t have shite. Exxon, Shell, Chevron, ect have oil. Unless you are a communist and want to nationalize these companies or institute an export ban then they will continue to sell into the global market and price oil accordingly.

Nah she was a good person. But a dumbass for trusting her husband's research over the advice of her Oncologist. It was extremely hard on my wife and her sisters watching their mother die from a treatable cancer with a high survival rate.

Plus at this point I doubt she cares what I think.

Well, I hope you never get cancer but if you do let me tell you how it will go because I watched this happen with my dumbass mother in law.

1) You are not doing chemo or radiation because there are plenty of alternative treatments, so you eliminate all sugar and carbs to “starve” the tumor. You take multiple anti parasitic drugs because “cancer is just like a parasite”

2) You feel good and tell everyone how great your plan is and how the doctors don’t know everything. “Do your own research”

3)Meanwhile, new scans show the original treatable tumor has grown and metastasized all throughout your body.

4) You panic and start chemotherapy and radiation.

5) You painfully die from a treatable cancer because you were a dumbass that thought you had unlocked the hidden secret to cancer treatment by researching on the internet.

Good luck.

20-25% crop share used to be common in that area. Owner only provides maintenance to any irrigation wells. Years ago I scouted crops in that area.

Bud, Glyphosate at labeled rates takes 10-14 days to desiccate a plant. 24 hours would be pointless, a waste of time and violate the labeled pre harvest interval. Get your facts right please.

I heard that on 610 and the rice deal is bullshite. It isn’t that they don’t like the rice, it just isn’t there. Some farmers in Texas and Central LA (Monterey Deer Park?) are growing some hybrid seed production. The majority of the field is a sterile line that must be pollinated by wind from a small strip of normal rice. The overall yields are terribly low and given normal harvest losses, left over grain for wildlife is almost non existent.

It’s typical Twitter bullshite

Biotechnology killed the small seed companies and was the root cause of most of the industry consolidation.

Farmers adopted Roundup ready and BT traited seed enmasse because it lowered risk (BT), increased efficiency and lowered costs. One man on a self propelled sprayer could spray and keep clean thousands of acres that before took multiple people on tractors with 8 row cultivators and layby rigs. Spraying went from mixing cocktails of multiple herbicides to just roundup. In addition, BT reduced cotton insecticide use tremendously.

Independent seed companies were forced due to lack of demand for their conventional varieties to do one of two things
1) sell or 2) purchase biotech lines from Monsanto or 3) license the technology and integrate it into their existing lines (expensive). Most chose 2 or 3 at first before deciding the margins were too thin to compete with the giants and closing or selling out.

As far a chemical? For years, in the row crop industry the vast majority of herbicides sold was roundup/glyphosate. A University of Arkansas weed scientist said “The best thing to add to Roundup is more Roundup. Ag chem companies consolidated to survive. If not for Roundup resistant weeds and a surge in fungicide use for plant health, the industry would be even more consolidated today.

A long post to say it sucks, but farmers ultimately did it to themselves due to their desire to increase efficiency and reduce production costs.

I’ve either farmed or worked in row crop Ag the past 25 years and I don’t know any. So mine or your data set is skewed.
