Thanks for sharing the video Russ. Good feeling being done with planting. Hope you get good stands. Yes sir I am with you on the government programs and substitutes. I've used them through the years too and they have always bit me in the end. So I don't try to use them anymore. That's just me and I am a little fish in the big pond. God Bless Y'all too.

I completely understand the feeling that things are getting caught up. I got the hay in last week and just need to get the beans sprayed. I od th neighbor kid I. Would come down to help him with wheat next week. He has had a rough spring.

It used to be the government was there to help people but now they are there to control. As a former Republican official, I’ll say that the GOP is crooked, just not as crooked as the Democrats. There will be a special place in eternity for those people. Blessed wishes with your beans Russ. Take care Russ and have a blessed week my friend.

Howdy Russ, you’re absolutely correct, something about baled hayfields and also wheat stubble that seem to add 10 degrees…lol. Hope the rodeo was good and God Bless all y’all🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

Hello Russ enjoyed your video. Had a hard rain here today thunder lightning crazy storm about 2cm came down. Had such a loud crack of thunder think the house would fall. I thought the straw was going to be baled up there? Have a great day thanks again entertainment

There’s no such thing as government money. It’s either tax revenue or monetized debt (fed reserve buys treasury securities). Either way regular folks get screwed by taxes or by inflation. The Mises Institute at Auburn is giving away copies of Murray Rothbard’s “what government has done to our money” if yall are interested. It’s a quick read.
@ThomasfarmstnАй бұрын
Yep it’s money we pay in for them to use to control. I’ll look into that book.

Non farmers think it is flowing. I think the general consensus is farmers live off the government.
