How many farmers,(livestock/crop), do we have on TBH?
Exclusively.

and I had 1 of the worst days in my farm life today

Care to elaborate? I grew up in a farming family and am still around it, but not involved in it, and have seen some pretty horrible days for a few farmers.

we are putting out 11 27 07 on all grain cotton and corn landabout 20 gallons in a creeper preplant some fancy nitrogen fertilizerxxwas mixed into the applicator with a little 1127 on the bottom it had a chemistry affect that kind of fertilizer into sludge

I was also trying to plant white corn at the same time on the other side of the farm we ran short of seed I'm planting double row and I think that Roundup Ready white corn is about 250 bucks a bag.we went 32 bags over what we're supposed to pan across 400 acres it will probably pay off but I'm thinking we could have got by spacing it further apart once again

spend the afternoon cleaning out fertilizer applicator trying to find places to dump 600 gallons

I'm in the process of taking over another farm and I don't know why

[BTGuard]

Not on the farm now, but I probably will be eventually after I get out of school. If not farming, then Ag related
