[jrsiajdranch]

IF you give me a bucket of water I am gonna bring it home and put it on my fields not waste it on Mike!

I'll say. That is a much better use of water.

You all have a great time in CL tomarrow.  I'll be thinking about ya, from the combine seat.  Either I'm too slow, or the meeting was scheduled too early, lol.  Guess I'm too slow.  Thanks for the invite, hope to read some details tomarrow night.

Mark, ncIA,

Just let the hired man run the combine for a few hours. You would be our local expert on this year's crop conditions in northcentral Iowa. Live up to your screen name. Hope to see you tomorrow. Stop by if you can.

Thanks,

Mike

I almost certainly will not be able to make the meeting.  I am shipping corn today and want to finish soybeans before the rain hits.  I had a combine breakdown that cost me a couple of days - it didn't break all winter in the shed.  🙂  I have another minor breakdown now that is easy to fix but I had to wait for parts and couldn't run last night.  So........to much on my plate.  I'm sorry to miss it and know you'll have a good time.

[giolucas]

Have a great time fellas.   Can't break away.  I will try next time.

That was great guys! Thanks alot.  New friends and old alike it was awesome.   Great to Meet Marketeye, Dave and Jeff again. Al had some good comments. THe folks from Brazil were very interesting.

All in all the rest of you missed out.

Totally agree Jr,

Al led great market discussion and Jeff slowed him down enough we could all understand.  🙂   His Q & A was very appreciated.

The Brazil presentation was very interesting.  I got some good ideas on combine modification and a great "pick up line" I'll never get to use.-----------------the wife already made that clear.  🙂

I got a very personal and interesting tour of Iowa from a new friend who convinced me they got a lot more goin for them than new green paint.------------------Wow------  I lost count off all the new grain storage bins we saw in central Iowa.  Todays trip across Iowa was special.  It is sad to see the stressed corn being harvested this year where we normally see our best.

The ecomomy and Drought are creating stress and change we will deal with for a while----it was great to discuss it today.
