Episode 10 Equipment prices and working in the shop

 

Transcript

 

Speaker 1: (00:00)
Hey guys. Welcome back to another episode of an earful, the podcast about farming and country life. Zach, what’s going on today?

Speaker 2: (00:08)
What’s going on today? Well, we’re getting set up to start running stuff through the shop here at the farm. Try to fix all of our, uh, in season, uh, patchwork. And, uh, just thinking about here, the colder months, getting ready to haul some grain, uh, bring some seed in, start some seed, treat in, talk to some guys out on, out on the road a little bit and just, uh, kinda getting into the, getting into this time of year.

Speaker 1: (00:39)
Didn’t December or January used to be boring?

Speaker 2: (00:43)
Yeah, yeah. See, yeah. We used to have a slow time of year, but then we decided to just ruin it.

Speaker 1: (00:52)
Right, right. I guess, I don’t know. I guess that’s just what we do now, but

Speaker 2: (00:57)
Yeah, I mean, it’s just kind of how she goes. Um, yeah, I mean, back before easy custom ag services was a thing. Yeah. I mean, we, uh, you know, spent this time of year just thinking about what we’re gonna do to the machines and doing service work and hauling some grain driving truck, doing things like that. And, you know, as we’ve got into this business, it’s, uh, this is definitely not a slow time of year anymore here, while we’re still trying to do all the stuff on the farm, but also, uh, getting into the, you know, moving seed around, treating seed and, uh, going out there and talking to guys, having meetings. It’s, uh, it’s definitely not a slow time of year, but, uh, I do appreciate the, this time of year for the fact I can, I can be home at a reasonable time most of the time. Right.

Speaker 1: (01:53)
Yeah. You’re busy during the day, but you actually get to go home, you know?

Speaker 2: (01:56)
Yeah. Which, it’s nice to do that a couple months out of the here, I guess.

Speaker 1: (02:00)
Right, right. So now we’ve been out, uh, combine shop in the past week. Ours is starting to get to the point where it needs replaced or needs some parts. So we been out, combine shopping and Lord have mercy of the price of this equipment. It’s terrible.

Speaker 2: (02:17)
Yeah. And I mean, it’s always been that way, right? I mean, as long as you can remember it’s, um, it’s always been, wow, that’s crazy high. It’s crazy high, but I mean, realistically now it’s like, it’s unbelievable how much it is to get into, uh, you know, even a, a, a two, three old, two or 3-year-old machine, you know, be that attractor a combine, anything.

Speaker 1: (02:41)
Well, yeah, a 1-year-old, seven 80 John Deere seven 80, uh, with a 45 foot draper, you’re looking at almost three quarters of a million dollars. That’s like real money. I mean, we, we were looking at, you know, half a million for combine in both heads. When we traded last time for a bigger machine, we got a a six 90. So, I mean, that was, that’s been, you know, 10 years ago. But man, that just seems outrageous to be

Speaker 2: (03:13)
Oh, yeah. I mean, it’s unbelievable. I mean, it’s, it’s definitely a whole different territory than what we were dealing with 10 years ago in this equipment market. Uh, you definitely just have to definitely just gotta shop around now and do the best you can, you know, to make the best deal for yourself. I mean, it’s just, it’s, uh, a lot of sticker shock

Speaker 1: (03:35)
And interest rates aren’t fun. Don’t make it fun either. You go and play with, you know, seven, eight, 9% interest depending on where you’re at. That’s not a, it’s not a cheap proposition on a, you know, a four or $500,000 machine.

Speaker 2: (03:50)
No, man, this money’s expensive.

Speaker 1: (03:51)
Yeah, it is. Uh, no, we’ve been been doing some combine shopping, seeing what we can find. It’s amazing the automation that they’ve put on these things.

Speaker 2: (04:00)
Oh, I know. It’s crazy. I mean, we, um, we had to get a rental machine there at the end, uh, for ourselves. And, um, you know, taking a, taking a step 10 years into the future and, uh, new-ish machine, it’s, it is unreal some of the automation they got in there. But it’s also interesting to see the things that they’ve left aligned, the things that obviously have worked for them, um, you know, over the years.

Speaker 1: (04:27)
I tell you what was really interesting to me, um, is the things they’ve fixed that we’ve had problems with, you know, like the long single belts, they’ve now, you know, shortened up a little bit and made double belts so they’re not twisting on your, or breaking, um, the, oh, it was the knives in the back that are always, you gotta have a hammer and a guy underneath to push ’em in. Now they’ve got little hydraulics or little electric cylinders on there that’ll put it in itself. You know, you’re going through the field and it’ll automatically switch based on your, uh, slope. I mean, there’s a lot of different things that that thing can do, but it comes with a cost. That’s the issue.

Speaker 2: (05:08)
Oh, yeah. I mean, that’s just everybody, it’s all about progress, right? So, I mean, they’re always trying to build a better, uh, bigger, better machine. Uh, I think they’ve capped out bigger with the, with like the X nine combine, but, um, the, it’s always trying to make constant improvement. At the end of the day, somebody’s gotta pay for it.

Speaker 1: (05:28)
Right? Right. We deal with a lot of smaller farmers, um, just seems like those guys can’t afford it. I mean, on a per acre basis, how, I mean, even if they’re running a, a seven 60 mm-Hmm. , a guy that’s running a thousand acres just can’t afford a combine. I mean, he’s gonna have to stay in a pretty old combine. It’s gonna be hard for him to trade up, is what I’m trying to get across.

Speaker 2: (05:53)
Right. And I mean, there’s a, there’s a used equipment market for that reason, right? I mean, you just have the guys that’ll stay in an older machine that’ll stay in a 10-year-old machine, you know, when they go to trade up, they’re trying to trade into another 10-year-old machine.

Speaker 1: (06:08)
Right. Right. Yeah. That just, I don’t know, it just seems like it makes it tough for those guys. But, um, you know, that’s the way of the world. Everything’s consolidating. I mean, if you look at the, the big ag companies, you’ve got, uh, cases bought up a bunch of different people. Yep. Deer seems to be buying up a lot of technology. Um, and you look on the other side, you got BSFs and Jenna, uh, bay and Corteva are basically the only ones making, uh, chemistry.

Speaker 2: (06:39)
Yep. It’s consolidation. I mean, that’s just how it is. I mean, we’ve been seeing this, you know, you know, we’re younger. I mean, we’ve only, you know, we’ve been in this, you know, ag retail space for five years now. And, um, just even in that span of time, the, you know, the companies that absorb the next one and, uh, you know, selling, selling off different portions of the company, it’s just like, that is wild. Just how all that goes, how money moves around.

Speaker 1: (07:06)
Yeah. I mean, you got, uh, what, four seed breeding companies? You got, uh, bear, uh, Corteva AgReliant and Chris Jeffries.

Speaker 2: (07:21)
Yeah. I mean, it’s not, it is, it is wild. But I mean, think back to, I mean, I mean here talking to your dad and just, you know, see that they’ve planted over the years, I mean, how many small companies have just been wiped off the face of the earth?

Speaker 1: (07:35)
Well, yeah. I mean, when hybridization started in the close, the early 19 hundreds when they started doing all that stuff, Mm-Hmm. you had, you basically had a seed company for every county. Yeah. I mean, we talked, they had Mark Hybrids, which got bought by Seed consultants down there. Um, one of our customers, uh, was it Father-in-Law started Mark Hybrids, Jim Garland.

Speaker 2: (07:59)
Oh, gotcha. Yeah. And I mean, again, I I, that part of it blows my mind. I mean, all the, all the small, you know, the smaller seed companies, they just, that doesn’t exist anymore.

Speaker 1: (08:12)
No, no, it doesn’t. But it’s, uh, I don’t know. It’s just interesting all the consolidation and the way money moves and the way that things have been pushed towards bigger, bigger agriculture, bigger, you know,

Speaker 2: (08:26)
Monopolies.

Speaker 1: (08:27)
Right. You don’t have the, the guy and the 200 acres anymore. ’cause he just can’t make it.

Speaker 2: (08:32)
No, no. And I mean, just like anything, I mean, now, nowadays, you know, even you just see this across the boards. I mean, even if Evan and I, you know, started, let’s just say blended fertilizer, and we just had the, the greatest fertilizer blend of all time. I mean, somebody, if, if you get enough attention and move enough volume, you are going to get attention. I mean, how many times have you seen somebody get bought out? Yeah.

Speaker 1: (09:01)
Nutrient is the king of buying people

Speaker 2: (09:03)
Out. Yeah. I mean, and even and, uh, like these smaller, you know, custom applicators and stuff, I mean, you do good enough work, somebody, it is just inevitable in this business. Like somebody’s gonna try to buy you out at some point.

Speaker 1: (09:19)
Well, and there’s rumors of, you know, co alliances merging with somebody and all these, all these little co-ops are getting merged together,

Speaker 2: (09:28)
And then they all get to come up with really fun names. Right? Well,

Speaker 1: (09:30)
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if they’ll be like, sunset.

Speaker 2: (09:34)
Oh my God, yeah, that would be great.

Speaker 1: (09:36)
But no, um, they all come up with these names and then they, it just takes the competition outta the market. And that is not, that’s not good for anybody.

Speaker 2: (09:45)
Yeah. ’cause I mean, competition’s good for the customer at the end of the day.

Speaker 1: (09:49)
Oh, yeah. I mean, there’s no doubt about that. I don’t know, you know, as a, as a farmer, it just, it makes life kind of difficult.

Speaker 2: (09:59)
Yeah. Yeah. We’re, you know, used to have, you know, say 10 different fellers you could choose from to go try and shop for seed, or you, not necessarily 10 people, but say 10 companies and now, you know, you’ve got less than half a dozen.

Speaker 1: (10:14)
Right. And I feel like it’s moving towards the Amazon model where you buy the stuff and good luck. Like Yeah. You know,

Speaker 2: (10:23)
Service, service, I mean, we see this, we’ve seen this in the past five years. I mean, service for these bigger companies has not held up through all of this transition and growth.

Speaker 1: (10:37)
Right. Like Sunrise has started that commodity ag deal where you can order your chemicals online, pick ’em up there. Mm-Hmm. I mean, it just, I don’t know. That’s, that’s great. I mean, we have a website you can, you can’t order online, but you can see our stuff online. Yeah. And tell us, but I mean, yes, the internet’s great, but I feel like when you’re making recommendations for your entire year, it’s kind of important to, you know, at least have a little bit of agronomic backing. I mean, yes, farmers know what they want, but to have somebody there to just help you through the decision making process.

Speaker 2: (11:13)
Exactly. ’cause guess what? You can’t return it once it’s in the ground.

Speaker 1: (11:16)
Right? Well, you can’t return it once you pick it up.

Speaker 2: (11:18)
Oh, right. Yeah. Most of these places, right. It’s all, you know, cash and carry. Um, but really the biggest piece of it for me is the service portion of it. I mean, it’s just like anything, right? You’re probably gonna get a better experience and a better service at the mom and pop shop in your small town than you are going to get at Walmart. Right? Right. I mean, it’s all the same idea, right? So going from these smaller independents, they get ate up by the big guys. So you’re dealing with these, these huge entities. I mean, just nutrient for example. I mean, they’re, they’re gigantic. And, uh, at what point do you get lost in the fold?

Speaker 1: (11:52)
Right. And we’re, I mean, we’re just two guys out there trying to spray. Yeah. And it seems like, I mean, we try our best for customer service, but guys really appreciate that. And it amazes me that the bigger companies have not tried to, um, hold a certain level of customer service.

Speaker 2: (12:10)
Oh yeah. It’s crazy to me. And I mean, we go out and do what we do without even thinking about it. It isn’t that we’ve sat down and had a meeting, well, here’s where how we’re gonna treat the customers, right? I mean, we just go out and do our job. I mean, as a person, should, you’re gonna commit to doing this job. You’re gonna come out and spray my fungicide, or you know, I’m gonna sell you fertilizer. It isn’t, it isn’t about just going out pounding out the job and getting out of there. It’s about having the connection. It’s about, you know, taking care of the customer. ’cause you know what, what you want customer retention and it’s not just an assumed thing.

Speaker 1: (12:43)
Right? Yeah. I mean, you gotta work for that business. And today, um, I always like going out on sales calls in person. I hate the phone ones, but Oh, yeah. Today I’m going out on one of my first, uh, in-person sales calls for the year. And, uh, the new guy, like I, I’m interested to see, you know, what I, I gotta hear what his operation’s about. Yeah. Uh, where his goals are. You know, he might be wanting to raise 200 bushel corn and he’s just happy all day long with that. Or maybe he’s a guy that wants two 80 corn. I don’t know.

Speaker 2: (13:13)
Yeah. You never know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Speaker 1: (13:15)
You know, given the blanket recommendations that we’ve seen from specific companies that almost spell nutrient, uh, are just insane.

Speaker 2: (13:27)
No, exactly. And I guess our thing, you know, one of our biggest, I mean, everybody’s in business to make a profit. I mean, clearly, right? Well,

Speaker 1: (13:36)
Yeah. I mean, if you don’t make a profit, you’re out of business and you can’t help anybody,

Speaker 2: (13:39)
But you’re not making a profit if you’re losing customers. So really it’s not going out there and like, like Evan says, making these blanket recommendations on products that you’re gonna get a better margin on. It’s about getting the right product on the right acre.

Speaker 1: (13:54)
Right? Yeah. I mean, and I can get it wrong. I don’t have any idea what the weather’s gonna be next year. Oh, no. And if I did, I probably wouldn’t be doing this podcast and farming. I would be, you know, sitting on a beach somewhere,

Speaker 2: (14:07)
Uh, where that’s what you’re gonna do next week. Hey,

Speaker 1: (14:09)
Don’t, you don’t have to tell anybody that

Speaker 2: (14:10)
No Evan’s gone on vacation for a week,

Speaker 1: (14:12)
. But yeah. I mean, even no matter how hard you try, you can still miss, but I feel like you’re set up for success a lot better if you try to put your goals down, you know, on paper, and then try to match, you know, hybrids, varieties, chemical programs to that goal Yep. And matching things to the equipment that people already have.

Speaker 2: (14:35)
Exactly. And that’s just getting to know your customers. And, um, you know, that’s a big thing for us is, is, you know, understanding a grower’s operation, how he likes to do things and trying to throw products in that really that fit, you know, what he is doing. And, you know, over time working with somebody to maybe change things, maybe get a guy doing some, uh, a starter system on their planner or something along those lines. But I mean, it’s all about having that relationship and it’s important. I mean, that is direly important and we’ve had so many complaints, especially in the past year on customer service and lack thereof from these bigger cooperatives.

Speaker 1: (15:16)
Right. Um, yeah. That’s just, I think it’s a lack of manpower. I

Speaker 2: (15:21)
Honestly think,

Speaker 1: (15:22)
I mean, there’s how many millions of acres in this country that have to be covered? I honestly don’t think there’s enough people Right. In the agricultural workforce, whether it be on the farm side or the sales side or any of that.

Speaker 2: (15:34)
Yeah. Just across the board. I mean, that, that, I mean, I think that’s a countrywide problem as far as, uh, people goes. But yeah. And, and so you take, you take these bigger cooperatives and you get big and, you know, if you’re making slim margins as a salesman, I mean, you’re just trying to pound acres and they’re just trying to have less people out on the road that they’re paying and giving a benefit package to and, and everything else. And it’s, it’s not to say, you know, there isn’t some good salesman out there for these bear cooperatives. ’cause there definitely is. And I’ve met ’em and they’re

Speaker 1: (16:07)
Great. Oh yeah, there definitely are. But,

Speaker 2: (16:09)
Um, it, it, it, it is just getting to be more of a problem, I could say. It could, could it be more of a manpower thing? Yeah. I think it very well could be. And I also think that you get to, you get a certain type of salesperson out there who, you know, this has worked for years, we’re gonna keep doing this. I’m just gonna write you this. I’m not gonna come out, I’m just gonna send this to you. You’re gonna send me a check. And then that’s what I do.

Speaker 1: (16:41)
Right? Yeah. There’s, there’s some of that that goes on. Um, there’s so much technology out here Mm-Hmm. , you know, we’re gathering so many millions of data points with the planter, with the combine, with the sprayer. Yeah. I think everybody in the agricultural industry needs to go through a training course on what all that means.

Speaker 2: (17:02)
Oh yeah. Because we are all farmers nowadays are impeccably good at collecting data. And the whole point in taking data is to utilize it to change and improve. And I think that’s kind of where we’re at the tipping point of now, right. I mean, we, we are able to gather so much information. I mean, you think about these, uh, what’s the, the seed, the smart farmers? Yeah. Like the, like look at everything, something like that. I mean, you literally both don’t, you know, your soil mo moisture is, doesn’t that give you a CEC because

Speaker 1: (17:37)
You, CEC, soil moisture, organic matter, uh, temperature, clean furrow, uniform furrow, and probably other stuff that I

Speaker 2: (17:49)
. Right. So, but, but my whole point in there is that like we get very in depth looks at what is going on at just figuring out how to utilize that into, uh, your program on your farm.

Speaker 1: (18:04)
Right, right. And I, it, there’s just, it just blows my mind how much data there is and how much is just sitting on computers in different places. I think we’ve really missed the boat on using that data to analyze stuff. I know that there’s companies out there now that are, you know, helping farmers out with that. Oh yeah.

Speaker 2: (18:24)
Um, ’cause there’s a lot more companies out there to collect data than there is to utilize it,

Speaker 1: (18:29)
But it doesn’t take long for those companies to be sponsored by Loveland and then start recommending those products.

Speaker 2: (18:34)
Yeah. And that’s a slippery slope.

Speaker 1: (18:36)
Yeah. The inde, the, the independent agronomists are the ones that are making the good decisions. You just don’t see a whole lot of independent agronomists. No. At least not in our area.

Speaker 2: (18:45)
No. And I know there’s, there has to be some, right. But no, it’s definitely not a big thing here. I mean, uh, getting an agronomist like that, it’s almost like a, like a benefit to working with a bigger cooperative. Yeah. And that’s, that is kind of how it’s done here really for the most part. Anyway.

Speaker 1: (19:05)
I think it’d be a fun job though.

Speaker 2: (19:07)
Oh yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1: (19:08)
I love the agronomy side of it, so I think that would be super fun to walk around and, you know, look at .

Speaker 2: (19:15)
Oh yeah, for sure. And I mean, that’s a big thing too. I mean, as far as customer service goes, I mean, just going out there and walking a field and just, you know, making that second stop showing a guy, you know, I’m not here for the check. I’m here to make sure this worked and you know, that there’s nothing else I can do to help.

Speaker 1: (19:34)
Right. Yeah. It’s, uh, it’s an interesting world we live in.

Speaker 2: (19:38)
It is. And it’s, it’s crazy. But I mean, uh, all we do is work at it and keep on trucking. Yeah.

Speaker 1: (19:47)
Yeah. So what, uh, what piece of machinery you think you’re gonna bring in the shop first?

Speaker 2: (19:52)
Well, I think we determined that we’re gonna bring, uh, a couple grain trucks in and get them a hundred percent service as we’ll. Probably start trying to move grain here the first of the year.

Speaker 1: (20:04)
Makes sense.

Speaker 2: (20:05)
Yeah. So get, try to think about things as in order as what we’re gonna use them. So try to flow some semis through here. And then, um, you know, as long as we’re able to move grain and whatnot, that’s the big thing at the moment. And then probably delve into, delve into some planting equipment. Yeah.

Speaker 1: (20:25)
Yeah. It takes a while to just a lot of repetitive motion on the planters though.

Speaker 2: (20:30)
Yeah. Yeah. Um, you definitely going into it, you get a planter in here, you just, you just gotta get a whole box sparked laying there, and you can get the re planter pretty quick. Yeah. It didn’t, no big deal. But, um, especially if you’re not making any huge changes now, if you’re gonna, you know, put it, you know, change your in row fertilizer system or, uh, you know, add a two by two system of corn plant or, you know, something like that. That’s, that’s time consuming. But as far as coming in here, rebuilding wear parts, you’ll get you. That’s not too bad. Yeah, it ain’t too bad. Just gotta get everything out there and take a look at it and see what the damage has been done. You know, a lot of this stuff we, you know, you get done with it in the spraying, blow some water across that sucker. Get her in the barn. Yeah. Because we got to go spray.

Speaker 1: (21:17)
Yeah. I’m hoping, uh, I wanna put clean sweep on the clean planter.

Speaker 2: (21:21)
Yeah. Yeah. Um,

Speaker 1: (21:22)
Lifting row cleaners is not a good time,

Speaker 2: (21:24)
Lord. Yeah. Row cleaners highly recommended. I mean it, row cleaners are worth having, uh, especially, I mean, we’re no-till, so no-till situation. Get you some row cleaners out there and wipe that trash out. Well they do a great job, but, uh, the worst thing about ’em, especially on the bean planter where you’re dealing with 32 of ’em is, um, picking ’em up, setting ’em down and adjusting. That sucks. Especially if you’re a piner operator as a, you know, an older guy. He is got a, he ain’t going, you know, crawl underneath that planter and lift them heavy things up and pin ’em. The pins get seized up with junk. Uh, yeah. That clean sweep system with the, you know, that air pickup that is incredibly handy, especially when you’re going through variable ground.

Speaker 1: (22:04)
Well, yeah, I mean if you’re, if you work the ends and you didn’t work the middles,

Speaker 2: (22:08)
Oh lord, yeah.

Speaker 1: (22:09)
Yeah. That was, that’s a game changer.

Speaker 2: (22:11)
It’s unbelievable how much, how much dirt, uh, those things will move around. Oh

Speaker 1: (22:17)
Yeah.

Speaker 2: (22:17)
It looks like a chisel plow, right? Like if you have ran a field cultivator through a portion of the field, whether you worked in a washout you, you worked in, you know, some ripped up ends or it could just a couple of, you know, rougher areas or something, you run a road cleaner through that thing. It looks like you just dropped a chisel plow straight down to the ground. Yeah. It’s unbelievable the way those things ridge. But I mean, what are you gonna do? You gonna get out for, for say the washout in the middle of the field that you work 40 feet of it. Um, you gotta stop and make your planter operator get out and spend an hour, potentially an hour setting up road cleaners practic to call somebody, come help. You know what I’m saying? It, it’s uh, it’s just like anything else, it’s just adding a convenience. It’s all right. It’s all kind of that. So

Speaker 1: (23:02)
Yeah, that clean sweep system is slick when we put it on the corn planter.

Speaker 2: (23:06)
Oh yeah. Well and it goes both ways. It’s not only just picking it up for the dirt, but it’s also slamming some pressure to it when you’re getting into some heavy areas. So you’ve got a lower lying area in the field that had some water standing and you’ve got a pile of corn stalks that’s six eight inches deep. Them suckers will supply them outta there right now.

Speaker 1: (23:20)
Or your stupid combine operators stopped for some reason and piled up fodder right behind the combine.

Speaker 2: (23:26)
Yeah, exactly. It’s nice to be able to open that up with them row cleaners and throw some pressure on ’em and really move that stuff. It’s definitely a, definitely a move. I would, I mean, if you’re no-till you gotta be running ’em.

Speaker 1: (23:37)
Oh yeah, for sure. For sure. So I’m glad we went back to strip till this fall though. I think that in corn that’s really gonna, it’s gonna alleviate a lot of our, you know, trash problems. We can get some heat on that bare dirt.

Speaker 2: (23:54)
Yeah. And um, you know, going in there and having that, you know, that nice strip basically just, you know, planting into a stale seed bed. I mean, you’re dealing with less trash. You got row cleaners on that strip till bar to help push that trash away. We, uh, at least this year, you know, it was cool, we got a, we broadcast all that cover crop, so the row cleaners on that strip till bar push that cover crop seed out, or you know, if that’s cover crop’s already, uh, sprouted, you know, growing it, it’ll shove that stuff right outta the way. So you’ve got a nice clean strip, you know, you end up with a stale seed bed in the spring and that’s a, I think that’s gonna be a move.

Speaker 1: (24:32)
Yeah. I, I’m, I’m looking forward to spring. I think we got, I think we got some good things going on. Yeah,

Speaker 2: (24:37)
Yeah.

Speaker 1: (24:38)
We able to spread our fodder better this year.

Speaker 2: (24:40)
Yeah. That, yeah, that was a big, a big win this year I think.

Speaker 1: (24:45)
So I think that’s gonna be super helpful. There was one piece that was on wrong, um, on our spreader on the combine and we flipped it around and it helped throw the corn fodder a lot farther this year. So I think we’re gonna be super happy with that, uh, that situation. So we’ll, we’ll see for next spring, but I know we got a lot of, a lot of shop work to do between now and March.

Speaker 2: (25:10)
Yeah. I mean, in a year’s time, man, we’ve, you got a lot of stuff that wears out. Got a lot of things to change and just a lot of things to get ready because I mean, the whole, the whole thing in the spring is you just, you’re on such a time crunch, especially now that it just seems like our weather patterns giving us such small allotments of good planting time that you can’t be sitting on your hands dealing with these problems you could have solved in December and January. Right,

Speaker 1: (25:38)
Right. Yeah. You gotta definitely change your planter parts now and not wait until you know you’re in the field.

Speaker 2: (25:43)
Yeah. Sometimes it worked when I put it away. That doesn’t, that doesn’t work. Sometimes

Speaker 1: (25:49)
It’s okay. And most of the time

Speaker 2: (25:50)
It’s not most I’m gonna, I’m gonna say most of the time it’s not.

Speaker 1: (25:53)
So. Well, uh, we’ve probably gone on long enough here.
