Yeah. But I see that happening for at least the human. Then it's, okay, this is cow corn. This is ethanol corn. Right. This is corn that ends up in Doritos.
Yeah. But it's not quite at scale where it could be for as much corn as wheat. Right. In the center of the store kind of stuff, in a bag or in a box. Yeah. You know, the stuff that doesn't go through a pig to become human consumable makes you wonder if that's where we go. And then they say, oh, so we're going to put another 40 cents on that.
There's another 40 cents on that human corn that Corey's going to grow because there's a place in Waterloo that's now processing non-GMO, not corn for ethanol, and it's going for...
I can't read. I don't think so. That thing for Hogan Meyer went very well.
Anyway, we'll get it. Well, you know what happens in the – And again, maybe you get a little jaded on this. Having done the stage for so long, then people decide that they want to be degrading online. It wasn't you, I'm sure. There's probably someone that wanted to pop off.
We used to have a thing on Twitter where it was people would go on there and anything I pointed out about industry going on is that I'm stupid and I've never really farmed, which is not true. I was out there from the time I was eight farming. And so... That's where I got real gun shy about.
Anybody that so much just decided they're going to just pop off, I'm like, all right, first of all, I know who you are, and this thing that I don't know what I'm talking about. So I did go through a while where I did a lot of blocking people.
Now, I remember you guys hollering at me about an event. Now, since we're going ahead and we're doing, this is like Festivus. Oh, yeah. The airing of grievances. There we go. There we go. So, you know, and for your young listeners, go back. You have to Google that also, Festivus. A famous Seinfeld episode from the 1990s. I still love watching reruns.
Crazy Frank Costanza because he was tired of the commercialization or the religiosity of traditional holidays. decided to create his own holiday, Festivus, where they put up an aluminum pole and two of the tenants of Festivus were Feats of strength and airing of grievances, which is funny. I was raised in a very conflict-oriented household.
We had airing of grievances, not just on every holiday, but on every day. So since I need to unblock you, you've got to apologize.
No, no, no, no.
Really? We stole him? Yeah. You scooped me right out of that. Oh, wow. See, now they're getting a mention, so they're going to say, I'm really glad that we did this right here because we're saying, man, those Farm for Profit guys are helping me sell more on farm accounting.
Certainly with the companies, I would play it nice. Yeah, there's a few individuals in the space that...
They just decided, I don't know, it's a little bit like I was out here for a long time, so I think I had a target on my back because, you know, I was like, hey, I want to make a name for myself out here as being an ag personality, so I'm going to go ahead and try and harpoon this dude that's in front of me because I've been around a long time, man. That's the thing.
You know, you just start realizing longevity. 31 years. I mean, my 31st year of this. Back in the old days of political comedy, I can start naming clients that are now not even in business. It's like Montgomery Ward or something. Naming old corporate names that we might know from our childhood. Like, oh, yeah, that was a client. They're gone.
And you know they got absorbed probably. We had the... There's a Parker gravity wagon in my hay loft. The wheels are off it. The running gear is off it. It's up there. It's on blocks. And it was the feed bin when I had cattle. It was there when I bought the property. have a feed truck come in, auger up 5,000 pounds into it, and then use it with buckets. And every time I look at that, we had
Two of those Parker-type gravity wagons in the 70s on my farm, I think they were maybe 100-bushel grain cars. So what's a combine's grain hopper? 400-bushel now? Yeah, 400. So you didn't need four of those little boogers just to do one dump. It all seems so quaint and old compared to modern stuff. So it's funny you talk about the Parker thing.
I'm going to be a lot of places. I'm here next week. I'm going to Missouri for a group. I'm going to Chris Barron's conference in three weeks down, and he has an executive summit that I'm going to be in February, bumping out a lot. I've also got a new show called The Granary. So if you like farm for profit and you like agricultural stuff, I encourage you to check out my show, The Granary.
It's with my friends from Extreme Ag. It's shot – On my farm, in my on-farm tavern, an old converted granary that we've got the keg box and we've got the table. And we sit there and we talk about real issues affecting agriculture. So that's kind of a cool thing. You can find that on YouTube. Just type in Extreme Ag in the Granary. I'm speaking at conferences.
and I've got the granary show, and I've got my business of agriculture show, and then all of a sudden we hit spring. The winter always just flies. I end up then having a few weeks in Arizona with no travel, and then it's time to go back to the farm. So it's the way that always works. Yeah. I appreciate you guys having me on. That's fun.
