    The obligatory: "I once caught a fish so big the picture weighed 4 pounds"

    Local Sweet Corn ready?

    Back in the day I had a neighbor that planted a patch away from the building site in the middle of a commercial field but accessible by a waterway. He would take 2-3 marshmallows, soften them up in the microwave on a 6" paper plate and stir in about a teaspoon of Counter insecticide. The smell...

    Official Fishing Thread

    Went to a local park to fish last weekend and came across a one-armed angler fishing from the bank. His technique was rather refined as he casted his lure, tucked the rod handle under his arm pit and cranked the reel with his good side. He was a friendly sort so I thought I'd engage him in...

    Truck tires

    A major construction company in my area always used Wranglers, then switched to Coopers (while I was farming). I doubt creature comfort entered their decision equation but more so economics/durability. There is a major difference between rolling down the highway and pulling 2 anhydrous tanks...

    Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread

    I will preface this by saying I am not a birder per se. A few days ago I was cleaning up a hosta bed on a remote area of my acreage. As I pulled and piled the weeds, I came across a nest on the groundthat I thought was abandoned. I moved a couple of feet away and mom came to investigate. I...

    2026 crop year

    I'm guessing this is a trick question since corn maturity has to do more with physical maturity of the kernel than silking date. Either that or the field is farmed on 50/50 shares and the landlord is going to get the poorer yielding variety :) :) :jimlad:

    2026 crop year

    I’ve always used YouTube videos if I needed to replace a car door handle, fix the washing machine or how to route a lawnmower deck belt but I don’t know if I’d put too much faith in them to guide me in a farming operation

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Not a soccer fan but am enjoying this in the same vein as the Olympics. Rules are the rules so play by them rather than change the game. My only change would be to make the accumulated stoppage time part of the scoreboard, Maybe there is some strategy to not doing that but I haven't figured...

    My FIL is a plumber and before he realized it was not in his best interest to lock horns with me he tried to convince me he could make water run uphill

    Sounds like somebody used poor judgement with the kids drowning. The barn incident reminded me of the song "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    That's definitely a possibility. In order for the drainage tile around your house to function at its best it has to have some air in the lines--think pouring gas out of a can without venting it. When the ground gets overly saturated the tile will work as intended just not as efficiently as...

    Shower Thoughts

    Couple thoughts I've had in the shower: Teach a man to fish--yadda yadda. Build a man a fire and you'll keep him warm for a night. Set a man on fire and you'll keep him warm for life. Also, two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

    I just think this is so awesome and I'm not even a fan of soccer. It's great that people from all over the world will leave here with a positive experience in our country--something that a few Americans can/should learn from

    I think this guy is hoping for a revival of the men's Great Alaska Shootout so they can sell their own brand of "barley pop" now that it is more acceptable than when that event was discontinued

    Putting a tray of ice cubes in your BVDs works better than ceiling fans, but doesn't address the problem of the difference in temps between the upper and lower levels

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    If you have forced air heating, leave the furnace fan running 24/7. If the registers are balanced properly, this action should help even the temp throughout the house--may not completely solve the issue but will certainly help. I have geothermal which is slower to correct temperature...

    Fortunate to get 1.15 rain (with a WU prediction of .03) ahead of the predicted heat event, Should be beneficial in that crops/plants can draw moisture from a deeper/cooler area of their root system where the fluctuations in temps will be more moderate than at the surface. Above 85 degrees...

    Two goals for the rest of the day: Finish mowing my acreage so I can park the mower for a couple weeks and put the window air conditioner in the shop so I can hide from the wife next week in comfort.
