    Where’s @Royalfan5, he’s an insider 

    Busy getting margin from my cattle feeders mostly. Mostly because we are more sold at these prices because slowdowns are bad for beef consumption and cattle prices even if we are down on numbers

    Is it like national signing day when the uncommitteds and unsigneds are either hamming it up for the cameras, or panicking that they went with the wrong brand?

    You just roll with whatever Grandpa picked when he had enough money to buy his first tractor for the most part.

    The Ford vs. Chevy guys (and the weird Mopar people like me) were everywhere back in high school.  You don’t see them anymore.  We need to bring those guys back. 

    Get to rural school, and it gets real wild when you have to pick a truck and a tractor brand.

  4. Just want to point out that if you are getting yelled at out in Oakley Kansas, where the last Democrat that was voted for President locally was FDR’s first term, and Carter was the last to crack 40%, and the last to exceed 21% was Dukakis in a bad drought year, shits going to get bad.

    You know what would be a great idea, if Germany started building up their military cause that's never gone poorly

    Maybe we get Gravity's Rainbow 2 out of this.

    I was watching the Ottawa@Nashville game last night, and some people started booing when Oh Canada started, but it died out very quickly.

    Sens beat some ass too.

    I was born with dual citizenship in Canada.  My mom and aunt are still citizens.  I have a shit load of extended family there that I get together with annually.

    It’s not about how they feel about American politics.  They are proud of their country, proud of their independence, and have absolutely 0 interest in bending the knee to anyone.  Yeah, they maintain a symbolic relationship with the British monarchy, but it’s completely symbolic.

    Watch the crowd belt “Oh Canada” at the top of their lungs before an NHL game.

    Especially the True North Brave and Free Part.

    Am I the first one who is going to pose the question of a Medivac flight from Philadelphia, PA......to Springfield, MO?  I've been through Springfield a few times.  If I'm sick I'm taking Philly.  

    Could be the right specialist just loves the Ozarks and you have to go there because they don’t travel. I’m sure people from all over get flown to Rochester MN too

    This coupled with fewer Mexican laborers in US agriculture should drive the produce prices through the roof, no?

    I think it should be noted for ag at least, "Mexican" includes all of Central America.

  10. Probably going to fuck up beef prices because we import feeder cattle from both to fill the gap with the smaller current herd and your Texas feedlots are more reliant on those cattle to keep the yards filled and need them to be cheaper because your feed is more expensive than it is up in the heart of the corn belt. We can expand the herd but biology makes it take a lot longer than pigs and chickens.

    A 200 ft ceiling is pretty crazy. The UT tower is 300 ft high.

    Can you imagine flying a giant helicopter at night, wearing night vision goggles, less than 200 ft off a river that looks like a dark spot below, with bridges, cables and whatnot possibly in your way?

    I live next to an air guard/occasional air force base, and while you get used to it, they will run stuff of varying stripes much lower overhead than I'd like. Much less cross commercial traffic though which probably helps.
