    Y’all should look up Corn Warriors on YouTube. Hula is on that show. He puts as much into micro nutrients as he does macros. Pretty interesting series to watch.

    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

    My non hunting uncle lived up there working for NOAA- he had giants eating in his garden. I asked him once why he didn't hunt- said that after Korea he was done killing. Wouldn't let me shoot one either.

    He’s got over $800/ acre in his contest corn fields.

    I’d venture to say it’s more like he lost $800 an acre. Setting yield records ain’t cheap.

    You are missing a 1 in front of the 8. It is profitable on those 10 ac but doesn’t work across the farm because of the time devoted to each acre. If he booked for July delivery today no basis he grossed $2,464/a.
