    ***Official St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Getting rid of Aeranado, Goldschmidt, Contrearous and Donovan has turned out so far to be the overhaul that was needed. Weatherholdt has been the big difference at lead off, Church looks like a player. Noot is back. 3rd and Catcher will be interesting to see who rises to the top. It's obvious...

    2026 crop year

    Here in the Southern Iowa swamp, we've had another rain today (Saturday 10;30 am). March was very dry and warm. April rained every week 10", May first two weeks dry then rain every few days the last two weeks totaling 5". June it's rained 9 of 12 days totaling 8+". The corn is a normal stand...

    2026 crop year

    A band about 10 miles wide including Hwy 34 got hit very hard out in the country not so bad in the towns where the trees got hit but protected buildings to a degree. North of Lenox, 50 plus grain bins along with legs will need replaced. Hail as usual was terrible in places that got hit. Lot...

    ***Official St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Gorman’s situation is a disaster, they’ve given him a ton of bats with no positive results. He looks lost at the plate and his once value as trade bait is gone, which is the only reason I can see for why they’ve been sending him out there. Noot’s return sent Victor down but outside of Fermin, I...

    K-State Podcaster Says Ames is Worst Road trip in Big 12!

    Went to an ISU FB game at Morgantown and told the locals we were headed to the Shenandoah Valley for a week after the game. Asked what was the best highways to take and they were unanimously aghast that we were headed east over the mountains. None had ever been to Virginia. West Va is an...

    2026 crop year

    ‘93 was a dandy. Only year I took prevent plant option on 300 acres of cornstalks. Ended up baling 1,000 excellent big bales of foxtail which the cows preferred over good alfalfa.

    2026 crop year

    Crop scout/agronomist after inspection recommended complete field replant of all April planted corn. Sophomore grandson started field cultivation last night. Two weeks of wet & cold post planting was culprit.

    PETERSON: Gambling headlines aren’t what nationally irrelevant Big 12 football needs

    An outside source's reaction was that the SEC/Big 10 is feeling pressure from TT and somehow this individual was targeted out of the masses of college age athlete's doing the same thing. Who knows. As long as the Big 12 keeps national eyes during the basketball season, irrelevant is an...

    2026 crop year

    We're 3rd county over from the SW corner of Iowa and it rained every week of April, 10 times for a total of 8". Some guys got after it in late March and early April planting SB's and I'm glad we didn't. Planted corn on April 20 & 21 just starting to row it and have fingers crossed. Started...

    20 Ribeyes for $40 Scam

    Probably off an 8 year old bull and cut is 1/3".

    2026 crop year

    Off subject a little but when I take my deer to the locker and donate it to the Iowa Hunger program, my thought is that those folks are getting a non-gmo, organic, fat free protein that is as close to ideal for those that are in to a healthy eating life style that is possible. Probably missing...

    It's Amish, closer look might be weeds.

    2026 crop year

    Total amount is 7.35" in 8 events in each of the four weeks of April. With the cool nights forecast and a 95% chance on the 27th, additional field work in April is doubtful. Ever the optimistic cattle feeder, I filled a pen of 600 lb heifers at a custom lot this week. Freight went up to $5...

    2026 crop year

    Started planting corn on the 21st and got two days in, it's been too wet. It's rained every week in April including last night. I delivered last year's corn on a basis contract which was rolled yesterday for 2 cents, priced by the end of June. The contract holder stated that he expected the...

    PETERSON: How much was money a factor in Crooks’ transfer to Oklahoma State?

    Hope is and never has been a strategy that is where one wants to place a program. Money was always "under the table" for the top programs and now that it is legal, the dam has burst. I predict that when the Texas, Ohio States and Alabama's realize that NIL has actually allowed the Texas Tech's...
