00:00.500 --> 00:03.250
On AgTalk, farmers across the corn belt

1
00:04.000 --> 00:05.500
are reporting tarspot

2
00:05.650 --> 00:07.500
and southern rust in these fields of corn

3
00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
The fungicide effectivity has dissipated

4
00:12.900 --> 00:15.500
The diseases are emerging here and here

5
00:17.500 --> 00:19.000
What does Chip say about

6
00:19.000 --> 00:21.500
the corn they've stolen  while trespassing?

7
00:24.750 --> 00:26.500
Mein Farmer...

8
00:27.500 --> 00:28.500
Chip...

9
00:31.000 --> 00:33.500
Chip is matching the USDA's record yield

10
00:34.000 --> 00:36.000
Their end goal is personal profit

11
00:53.000 --> 00:58.500
Anyone that thinks the USDA needs to be defunded, leave the room

12
01:13.000 --> 01:15.000
The USDA keeps making up trend line yields

13
01:15.250 --> 01:17.750
growing year over year, forever!

14
01:18.750 --> 01:23.250
It's not at all agronomically possible

15
01:25.250 --> 01:28.000
Mother Nature will keep throwing curve balls

16
01:29.250 --> 01:31.000
We should of sold the farm last year!

17
01:31.500 --> 01:34.000
And now our X9 1100 value has dropped 30%

18
01:34.750 --> 01:37.750
Deere, CNH, and AGCO continue raising prices thinking we'll just

19
01:37.500 --> 01:40.500
continue buying their unreliable chinesium garbage!

20
01:40.500 --> 01:42.750
According to Grok, they only import about 2% of the parts

21
01:42.750 --> 01:46.250
2%?  Wake up, Grok is always lying to you!

22
01:46.500 --> 01:48.790
But the CEOs and shareholders need the money

23
01:48.790 --> 01:52.000
When does the farmer get to make a profit?

24
01:53.000 --> 01:54.500
It's always the same...

25
01:56.000 --> 01:57.750
When farmers have money, they spend it on new paint

26
01:57.750 --> 02:00.500
like six-month-tour submariners on weekend leave

27
02:00.500 --> 02:03.500
But the farmers first need to make a profit

28
02:04.500 --> 02:08.000
Next you'll be telling me fertilizer, herbicide

29
02:08.750 --> 02:13.500
and seed prices are going up for 2026

30
02:14.000 --> 02:16.750
and the combine parts we need are backordered from Shoup

31
02:17.500 --> 02:21.750
I'm done with all these ridiculous expenses and recording a loss

32
02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
Next year we are planting corn with the 4440 and Cyclo

33
02:30.500 --> 02:34.000
I like the Dickey John blinking lights...lights always blinking

34
02:34.500 --> 02:36.500
Farming doesn't get any better than that

35
02:41.000 --> 02:42.500
And no more autosteer

36
02:43.000 --> 02:47.500
It's just another annual subscription bleeding us dry!

37
02:48.500 --> 02:53.000
and next they will say you need to upgrade your hardware

38
02:54.000 --> 02:56.000
to continue using RTK

39
02:56.500 --> 02:59.750
making what we have now worthless

40
03:00.000 --> 03:02.500
You probably don't even remember how to steer!

41
03:04.750 --> 03:07.500
Don't worry, you can use WAAS with the steering wheel motor

42
03:14.250 --> 03:16.250
On second thought, call the banker and auctioneer

43
03:19.250 --> 03:23.250
Going to sell the land and equipment

44
03:25.550 --> 03:26.750
And retire in Arizona

45
03:31.500 --> 03:33.750
My farming career...is over

46
03:40.750 --> 03:46.250
Next door neighbor says he will hire me to drive his tractor

47
03:46.500 --> 03:49.000
and actually pay me

48
03:53.750 --> 03:56.000
Finally, a way to make money farming
