Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.

I can’t imagine putting those heavy combines on my fields. Wow, completely ridiculous weights. I will keep my Gleaner all day long.

Updated combine specs for 2025. Added the Gleaner. Interesting stuff if you are in the combine market.

If you look closely at this ear you’ll see some red kernel streak. Indicative that wheat curl mites are present. No threat to the corn but, of interest to know the pathogen is around. Correct me if I’m wrong ⁦@LucasAHaag
