Fortunately, I did stop before I hit the Canadian border before I could get it turned around.
You know, if we spent a long of seed hours in that, you know, you could get somewhere around 300 a day with a 60-foot plow, you know, just constant, a full, long, long,
Right.
There you go. Just store it in there.
Well, yeah, 60 miles an hour helps aerate it. Just put a tube down the middle, like a tile.
Well, actually, what was told me was there's an elevator that quit allowing some of these carts to come in because when you add the tractor and the cart, it was overloading their scale. It was going over the 130,000. So they said, hey, you know, because they were close and they're bringing it in. They go, let's not do that again. So I guess there is a limit there.
Everything's getting bigger.
And the other thing, we're blessed, ROI is low. As far as the, I mean, it's high compared to our input costs. We don't have, we have some land payments, but not a lot. You know, when we look at what you guys are paying for cash leases and all that, it's huge. It's unbelievable. Our cost of farming per acre is much lower.
And so we're going to make a profit this year even with that because we haven't invested a lot of new color. Yeah.
you know a fresh paint uh we've been made to do what we can do and so we're going to come through this fine yeah um and i kind of learned that from my dad and my uncle back then when they had really tough years going through and i said you know those years are going to come uh but there's also the other year right so one thing too to consider is probably one of the reasons why our farm
No. No, I've always had one.
Yeah, we've taken combines out in a five-year program because there was zero interest back. Remember those days? They had five years, zero interest like that. And so, well, I'll just go ahead and do that.
But anyway, somebody came on the farm and just asked, well, how many employees do you have at this farm? And it was asking Nick, and he looked at the three of us and looked and says two and a half. So at least I pull half weight.
Yes, that's right. What does an acre of land sell for? The last land I bought was last year $700,000. 700 bucks. Now, it wasn't prime Iowa farmland. No. You know, you have five feet of soil. We had five inches. Yeah. You know, so we didn't have to pay for all that extra footing. There's a couple of crazy people in Illinois that would have paid that for rent. Yeah. Oh, I know it.
That's what I'm saying. It's just mind-boggling what it takes to farm out here.
Right.
So something's working. We had a couple good years.
And then some guy's like, well, call him leg arms.
Yeah, well, I'm the caretaker of Kobe. So, you know, I'm the dog guy. Okay. The dog guy. Tanner does have that on here somewhere. Yeah, I do.
we don't we don't miss very many things no you guys are trying not to yeah yeah when the equipment appears on a farm we have to get a dog approved so you know that's very important and the buds are definitely dog approved have you seen the videos and they love riding on that fender
