One of, if not the worst call I have ever seen. Those refs should be told to turn in their whistles.
What a mistake by the linesman. Incorrectly calls icing on an empty-net goal, so they put ensuing faceoff at center ice. Iowa gives up tying goal after and loses in a shootout. Would have been Stu Bickel’s debut win. Rieger Lorenz scored twice, by the way, after a great MN camp

Cale will be done with beans before I can even start. Some of the beans in gray pods have seed coat splits. Getting whole beans in the bin maybe tricky.

Landowners across Wyoming and the West say they are encountering a new breed of "entitled trespassers" who think gates and No Trespassing signs don't apply to them. They believe if they have a good reason for being there, they have a right to be there.

Grain quality problems are raising red flags in parts of the Corn Belt. Timing a call to your insurance agent could be just as important as timing your harvest this year.

As of September 28, a big jump was made in durum harvest in Saskatchewan ➡️ 79% done, up from 55% of last week 📈
Quality not quantity remains the main concern ⚠️
Only 143 samples from Saskatchewan analyzed by the Canadian Grain Commission as of September 28**, but the first results show protein levels below average on CWAD N.1 at ➡️ 12,9% and overall at ➡️ 13,2%
Likely a combined effect of high yields and rains
Main dowgrading factors (until now) are Test Weight, Vitreous, Fusarium Damage and Shrunken Kernels for the lowest grade... 👀 👇
45% of samples was graded as N.1 and 30% graded as N.2, while 25% graded as N.3 or lower ***
Much more samples to come and final percentages destinated to change...so stay tuned! 🤠

As of September 21, only 55% of durum was harvested in Saskatchewan (and only 32% of spring #wheat) 👇
It's the second slowest harvest (until now) in over a decade, very near to 2016 and surpassed only by 2019
Quality continues to be the main concern ⚠️
@SKAgriculture released also their second prelimary yield estimate at 46 bu/ac 📈 up from 44 bu/ac of the end of August
Great disparity between different estimates ➡️this is noticeably higher than the yield reported by Statistics Canada at 40,9 bu/ac in the satellite model-based estimate at the end of August... 👀
Stay tuned with the durum report at➡️ black-silo.com/

What is your favorite auger tractor(s)?
Many vintage iron tractors across the Corn Belt continue to earn their keep at the bins.
A quick trip through the countryside will reveal a rainbow of different tractor brands still working away on farms.

The average DTN spot price for domestic distillers dried grains (DDG) from 33 locations reporting for the week ended Oct. 1 was $195 per short ton on average, up $1 versus one week ago.
Prices came off recent highs as corn and soybean meal prices fell since last week.

Tankers bypass Hormuz transfer bottleneck as direct India deliveries emerge
⚓️Lloyd’s List Intelligence identified 13 former Hormuz shuttle VLCCs delivering Saudi crude directly to India or conducting transfers off India’s west coast during September
⚓️Lengthening delays at Gulf of Oman transfer hubs are encouraging charterers to seek faster alternatives as VLCC earnings remain near record highs
⚓️The emerging trade route could help relieve congestion, improve tanker availability and strengthen Middle East Gulf export flows as Indian refiners seek alternatives to Russian crude

If you can drive through MN and pronounce every town on this sign without pausing, restarting, or quietly googling it at a stoplight, congrats, you've passed the North Star State's unofficial citizenship test!

We’re getting it while the getting is good. It’s still a terrific 74 degrees, keeping the dew mostly away.
One final semi to the elevator tonight and we will put the rest on wheels for the morning. Yes, you read that right, it’ll be past 11pm and are still taking grain.

Natto beans. A non-gmo, food grade soy. These go right to Japan, we grow for a dealer in MN. Nattos have quite a yield drag vs traited soys, but free seed, trucking, and $5 over Jan board makes up for it and some, more often than not. These make up 20-30% of the farm depending on the year
