45 inch zero space so then you're going to have beans that fill up the gap in between yeah yep and the great thing about that is at every inch is different so when i'm right in the center of the row i have the most water availability yes so those beans will grow the tallest right out of the gate the ones close to the wheat will be like you know it's kind of down but when the wheat dies that day like in june 20th it's like hell yeah it's like home alone like
The kids are gone, the ice cream's full, and the freezer, hell yeah. And those beans live in the corpse of the cereal, and they turn into these, like, Gary Coleman on roids, like these little midget beans with 300 pods. We're getting canceled for this show. And it turns into this beautiful algo.
And you're like, you're looking at the weed like, okay, the weed only made $70, but I only had, you know, $80 in components.
total cost that's harvest and everything so i have a contribution margin here i take my contribution margin and i compare that to any inflection point on the soybeans and then i overlay my cost of production on soybeans and a lot of times the cost of production savings is much over than the inflection and then you add the contribution margin that's where we come to 200 300 easily but the whole manure application in the fall if i can not lose that value get it in a plant and morph it
that's so does this only work for those that have access to manure no and i and i do a lot of acres without manure just to prove and it's actually easier to grow better wheat because i don't have those like cocaine rails all over the field where i have this crazy bushed out weed it's kind of not uh not ideal because i have to worry about lodging so i might even cut it back even further on my manure wheat i i would rather use uh you know regular nitrogen and have
That's the biggest pushback. If corn's six bucks, then I could have a call center just calling and sending out letters. Hey, I'll pay you $400, $500 cash rent. Everything's cherry because I have equity at Grandpa. I have crop insurance coming in. I can back up the shortstop here, there, and there. But when corn goes to 325 and it's not candy land anymore, it's like I got to be resourceful.
And I think.
that would you know that's trial and error we didn't have any equipment the first few years and then we teamed up with a company called flexi finger there's a pad that goes on to my cutter bar so i basically make the beans do a limbo and i have pushed that when we had the 108 bushel soybeans they were over two foot tall and we bend them down to six or eight inches to bring those wheat heads in and they'll bend and they'll come back but it's just managing your uh combine traffic so you know
the people on Twitter really gave me shit early because I had my, all my kids crayons out, but my kids were, you know, nine months old when I'm doing all this early stuff and you have to draw out the schematics and have a, you know, you have to be a year or two ahead of what you do in the field and figure all that out.
Cause the last thing you want to do is go out and plant a bunch of stuff and then figure that out. That's everything.
Yes. A lot of a lot of chalk talks. I don't do as much as I used to, but I especially before I got in the meat stuff, I was really trying to figure out what industry I wanted to get in and, you know, the cropping stuff. And you got you got to do that.
I mean, I encourage everybody, if you've got a group of creative friends, start writing stuff down, because a lot of times you'll get on the tangent and you need. The best friend that you have is like, hey, this won't work because of this. You know, you don't think of it.
No, not really. Man, it was quite the life in my 20s because I could just kick ass for like three or four months. And then there's so much more time for vacation and golf and all that stuff. So that's the one thing I do miss about life outside the farm.
Yes, yes. And my kids are eight and nine now, so they're out there playing. And that's really fun. How do you have time to maintain a golf course?
uh knowledge i mean uh i i what what's again what's bad is good all the golf courses have went belly up around me so the i have auctions and we can buy all these like i have three 17 foot reel mowers so i can mow uh like eight acres of fairway and like two beers basically i like time with beer it becomes a hobby right i just know what it takes to maintain a green and yeah
so my hose never shuts off from like mid-may till september i just if we run over a few with the semis um i might get a hole in one but i just have like 15 from rural king and then i got a route i'll put it around my gator and i'll drive around this tree and i just drag a hose and it's just always on but make sure green's receptive so you can score well that's true that's very true we
but i just know you you got to mow those every day at least every other day at least yeah you can let them go a little bit longer if you want but i got a rider now i i did i had like uh six different walking greens mowers they were all kind of pos's but i kept them up and i just leave them outside next to a tree next to a green it wasn't too hard so i enjoy it let's talk about some of your failures because i know you didn't just do the relay cropping and wheat and beans you had some corn stuff wide wide rows the meat business uh where where do you want to start there
I don't know. I, the, the meat thing was maybe a little ambitious. I I'm glad that I did it. You know, a lot of people will run away from failure, but I think, I think it's very good to get people together on an idea.
Uh, there's a lot of people that I work with that I still talk to today and I think there'll be something else, but we gotta have, we gotta have people that are willing to fail to figure things out because I'm not as, uh, religious of community centric as maybe I was three years ago. Cause I see the pain involved, but we've got to get more food on a local level of distribution infrastructure wise.
So we bought a company during COVID that basically is called Muncie Meats from 1957. They had the McDonald's contract. They had the Burger King contract in the sixties. They were doing like 15 million in the seventies. And then the guy stuck around and,
