ICE crossed a line in LA

Don't ever forget this.

Wheat today $4.62. 40 years ago I was excited when wheat rose to $5. However, green wheat waving is mesmerizingly beautiful.

Just looking at grains tank again. The market was up a few days ago, but the uncertainty gives such wild swings. And a picture of an iris just for tranquility.

I workout in the early morning- 2 mile walk, weights my PT mapped out for me. But…nothing is as exhausting as weeding, tilling, and planting. I need a beer.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... For those who are interested in the effect of tariffs war on farmers this episode is telling. Put aside the “the farmers deserve it”. It is rural people that need to be won over and wishing us harm will not win votes.

open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz... This article encompasses this farmer’s fears. I am in the 22% that read the ag section of 2025. We will not recover our markets even if tariffs are removed. Wheat will be cut in June and soybeans will be ready in the fall. Then the real pain will begin.

Sign of the day…

Knock knock jokes for Grandpa and grandson. Thanks to google we are not running out of jokes.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Happy Good Friday from my granddaughter. May your day be joyous in the middle of any chaos you are experiencing.

1/ Today's @farmpolicy.bsky.social News Summary covers how "#China said Tuesday it will ‘fight to the end’ if President Donald Trump imposes an additional 50% #tariff on Chinese goods as many countries rush to negotiate trade with the United States." farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2025/04/trum...

bsky.app/profile/kans... This man was giddy at the Fall Farm Bureau dinner after Trump was elected. My husband and I just shook our heads. I would enjoy the moment of “I told you so, you idiot.” But I am in the same damn sinking boat. 🤬Trump.

Today wheat is down -15 cents, soybeans are down -33cents. This is what we can expect from a president that enjoys others pain. And his list of pain inducing tariffs are long. God help the people bc Trump will not.

A bit of levity. My grandson,age 5, asked his dad, “Dod you think my arm is longer or your arm is longer.” They compared and dad’s arm is longer. lol. Grandson said, “ Then would you reach under the couch and get my ball?” 😂😂
