    ***2025 UFL Season Thread***

    Would you ever be in favor of Ames making a bid for a UFL expansion team for the state of Iowa? It could result in significant rental income for the AD and be a popular way to leverage CyTown. I think given Ames' location (nearest pro football teams several hours in every direction), fans would...

    Dealers don't go through stuff any more before offering it for sale. Everything everywhere sells as-is. They're just Internet jockeys like everyone else. In farm equipment, it's always buyer beware, and if you have a good enough relationship with a dealer you may be able to get some parts for...

    Ross Dellenger report on SEC spring meetings

    It all boils down to television wanting to purchase content without having to pay for it, and strategically buying off a couple conferences with bags of cash and sweet talk about their dominance and then just letting their egos do all the damage so the TV guys don't need to get their hands dirty.

    Finished up last night. It always feels good to cross a big job like that off my list and be able to turn my attention to other projects for a few months.

    2025 field work

    I would say that if the weather is nice, we work part of mom's day most years. It's really unusual for me to be this far along, but weather really cooperated this week. None of our kids can be home this year, but I'm like a child, so she gets what she gets.

    Making sure my wife feels well cared for on Mother's Day today. Not enough to plant left that it can't wait until tomorrow, 110 acres of no-till corn left to do, a half acre of sweet corn, and we can be done. First corn was planted April 29 and is spiking now. Soys will be a bit. Sounds like...

    There are flexible rent options available as well. An arrangement where you get a base rent for the first half year's payment but the second is determined by how the crop does, on a previously agreed upon revenue formula at a publicly posted price at a certain date. If you are familiar and...

    I normally wean and finish my own but I'm finishing a few extras this year. Corn futures were poor enough last fall that I figured it made sense to walk more of it off the farm, so I put up extra feed instead of drying all of it. I have a sale barn with positive basis over the board in my area...

    Yes, cattle feeding is a high roller deal these days. But what do you want to do, just sit at home on the iPad when you could be on your hands and knees in **** working on a waterer? (I bought some last week too.)

    Help: I’m going to be a father

    Congrats! It is daunting when you find out at first, isn't it? Just remember your job is to love and protect your wife and child, in every little way you can think of. If you can do that, it all sort of sorts itself out. Teach your child good manners starting as soon as they have the capacity...

    "All he does is catch touchdowns." Hakeem Butler's stat line this season: 3 receptions, 3 TDs. Right after they showed Butler talking to his QB about making a play for him.

    2025 NFL Draft

    Did Hunter Dekkers ultimately sign somewhere as a UDFA? He was focusing on the NFL draft when taking a shot at the UFL was maybe a clearer path for himself.

    2025 NFL Draft

    Interestingly, the Browns were one of the hypothetical teams being discussed when Deion mentioned the potential demand for a trade if the "fit" wasn't right. So that's an interesting dynamic. They already had a rookie QB coming in, and it isn't like there's a bunch of reps for two of them...
