No Changes To drought This Week

 

 

The latest Drought Monitor released this morning shows no changes in the drought status across the Southeast from last week’s map.  It’s not unusual after a big rain event followed by a dry week for the DM authors to take time to catch their breath, work on other areas of the country, and wait to see what happens before they make further changes.  Temperatures well above normal are increasing evaporation and has started the growth of plants that are usually dormant this time of year, which increases demands on water, but it is just the beginning of February so there is much more to come before the next growing season officially gets underway.

 

Video: This Grain Bin Was SUPPOSED to Pay for Itself… Did It?

Did this grain bin actually make money… or did it just feel like it did?

I break down the real cost, payback, and financial performance of a grain bin using actual 2025 corn prices, real payments, and real math. We walk through when the bin paid, when it didn’t, and why timing matters when storing grain.

This isn’t theory — this is a full-year look at cost of ownership, cost of carry, harvest pricing, and test weight, all laid out on the whiteboard so you can run the numbers for your own farm.
