Some truth. It’s not that bad. But certain stuff is too real to be funny.

| 00:00 - 00:03 | On AgTalk, farmers across the corn belt |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | are reporting tarspot |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and southern rust in these fields of corn |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | The fungicide effectivity has dissipated |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | The diseases are emerging here and here |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | What does Chip say about |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | the corn they've stolen while trespassing? |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Farmer... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | Chip... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Chip is matching the USDA's record yield |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | Their end goal is personal profit |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone that thinks the USDA needs to be defunded, leave the room |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | The USDA keeps making up trend line yields |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | growing year over year, forever! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | It's not at all agronomically possible |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Mother Nature will keep throwing curve balls |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | We should of sold the farm last year! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | And now our X9 1100 value has dropped 30% |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Deere, CNH, and AGCO continue raising prices thinking we'll just |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | continue buying their unreliable chinesium garbage! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | According to Grok, they only import about 2% of the parts |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | 2%? Wake up, Grok is always lying to you! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | But the CEOs and shareholders need the money |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | When does the farmer get to make a profit? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | It's always the same... |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | When farmers have money, they spend it on new paint |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | like six-month-tour submariners on weekend leave |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | But the farmers first need to make a profit |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Next you'll be telling me fertilizer, herbicide |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | and seed prices are going up for 2026 |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | and the combine parts we need are backordered from Shoup |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | I'm done with all these ridiculous expenses and recording a loss |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | Next year we are planting corn with the 4440 and Cyclo |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | I like the Dickey John blinking lights...lights always blinking |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | Farming doesn't get any better than that |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | And no more autosteer |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | It's just another annual subscription bleeding us dry! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | and next they will say you need to upgrade your hardware |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | to continue using RTK |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | making what we have now worthless |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | You probably don't even remember how to steer! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, you can use WAAS with the steering wheel motor |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | On second thought, call the banker and auctioneer |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Going to sell the land and equipment |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | And retire in Arizona |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | My farming career...is over |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Next door neighbor says he will hire me to drive his tractor |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | and actually pay me |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Finally, a way to make money farming |
