Hope this is the best place to post. Opinion on these heifers, Thanks

With this widespread drought how does it affect BLM leases? Are they ended for an indefinite period of time? What do you do when and if your lease is ended.? It was very dry in Minnesota last year and I and others sold many head,

I have a 3 point snow blower with one large auger across the back. I have a chance to buy at a good deal one with two augers across the back. I was told they chew thru hard snow better, yes or no?

I have posted concerning this last year. What has the widespread drought done to your BLM leases? How soon after a drought will BLM leases return to normal? Looking at maps I see how widespread the drought is. What do you do with livestock under such conditions? Is hay available? Thanks, as we...

Just stopped in local coop. Fertilizer and chemical prices more than doubled since spring. Seed up some. Some seed scarce.

As you know it gets cold in Minnesota. I have used anti gel products in the past but always added #1 diesel when the cold gets serious. I am having a hard time finding #1 to blend in. Maybe just a local short term fluke, My question is the product I use says it will be good below zero. Will it...

I live in central Minnesota in an extreme drought area. I am also going 0n 74 years of age. Anyway I have a herd of 40 registered Hereford cows and two registered bulls. I am going to have to have to sell the cattle in a few weeks. The calves have been weaned, cows vaccinated, poured and over...

First of all I have a 200 mile charger, a Zareba fence doctor and my three ground rods are actually buried in a trench underground. It has been dry so I periodically run a hose over that trench. Now I check the fencer ever day. In the morning the fence doctor will read 5700 volts. Many mornings...

I am in central Minnesota and very dry. Sale barns are overwhelmed with cattle coming in. Pairs are coming in large numbers. I myself will have to make tough decisions unless it rains soon. I will be 73 in a few weeks so not as tough for me as younger guys. Land will stay in family but kids all...

I have a 1086 international I don't use much. Fuel is two to three years old. Runs nice but starts hard. Any additive I can ad? thanks farmguy

Yesterday morning had a new calf. It did not look quite right. Laying kinda funny but alert so I tagged it. Went on to another new calf but thought maybe I should try to get wimpy calf up. So I went back and tried to get it on it's feet. All four legs were down an almost vertical hole, probably...

I purchased a used big bale wagon recently. It is a Harms wagon with two railroad rails length wise and treated wooden beams cross wise. Works great. It came up in a discussion how much weight before those RR rails would bend. Wagon 16 feet between bolsters. Thanks farm guy

I went into the bank today to get some cash. This is a small town and everyone knows everybody. The cashier said " you farm" go see the manager. I went to his office and he mentioned some program where using 2019 taxes, form F, you get a govt loan and then they forgive it. I said I don't want a...

We had some Amish kids over yesterday to help cut strings for bale grazing. We make it a party with grandkids etc. Anyway the Amish family quit dairy farming but kept one jersey cow, The kids said the cow would nurse other cows which I have heard of. Now they said unless she is in a stantion she...

I think I remember someone here being good with Vermeer balers. I have a 554XL baler and I wish to add a full bale alarm. Are they hard to install? Best place to get an alarm? Dealer? thanks

I want to replace roller chains on our Round baler and Haybuster drill. I got burned on some chain, didn't last but cheap. Where is a good source? thanks

I do not usually do much talking on my own feelings but stick to facts. This morning I heard a speaker say we are closing in on 200,000 covid deaths. but what does that mean? It would mean one Covid death for each 1650 Americans. Now also remember that some states do not require a Covid test...

I know we have producers from across the nation here. Curious if we are seeing a reduction in cow numbers due to drought. In my area of Minnesota we had very dry conditions early but that has changed. Also wondering if producers relocate cows for awhile or not. thanks farmguy
