On January 20th, 2021, a gallon of diesel fuel cost about $2.70 a gallon. Today, a gallon of diesel will set you back more than $5.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. The year was 1918 and the deadliest war the world had ever seen was over.

I was shelling corn the other night when I looked down at my monitor—322 bushels per acre it read. My jaw just about hit the floor. But they say not to count your chickens before they hatch. They should also tell you not to count your bushels before you get to the elevator.

The 2019 Flood was among the worst we’ve ever seen in North Missouri. It didn’t hit as many folks as the 2011 Missouri River Flood or the ‘93 Flood, but unlike many of the floods we’ve seen in the past, the 2019 Flood stuck around for what seemed like an eternity. It took the better part of a year for the floodwaters to fall in some places.
