    NDGF: Steinwand Retiring

    No. I am a farmer. Born and raised In ND. Bachelor degree in agronomy. Have worked on the farm since I was old enough to walk and still do to this day. I don’t know how it’s arguable that there’s less dust from the wind nowadays then there was in the 80’s and before. Farming has changed a lot...

    NDGF: Steinwand Retiring

    July 2020 through March 2021 was the driest stretch EVER RECORDED in Bismarck ND. Of course there’s going to be dust blowing. You have any idea how bad it would be if farmers would still be farming like they did 50 years ago? You seriously want to sit here and argue that there’s the same amount...

    Guywhodoesntknowanythingabouteconomics: Haha, First off I’m not GST. I just find it funny how a lot of you guys act like if you had the chance to improve the value of an asset and in turn make more annual income, you wouldn’t do it cuz it hurts the sportsman. Think about it. If the crp payment...

    Oh great, this discussion has morphed into “it’s all the farmers fault for destroying habitat” territory again. If you guys think CRP is so great and make so much sense put your money where your mouth is: buy some land and put it all Into CRP. And then of course, DO NOT put a no hunting sign...

    BB gun

    I shoot the shit out of blackbirds with a .17 HMR. Man is it fun watching those things explode when you hit them. I hate them damn things. Sunflower eating SOB’s. A buddy of mine and I would go into his barn and shine sparrows with a big spotlight and kill handfuls of them with a BB gun. Man...

    used boat prices

    Well put. I think it’s all about keeping up with the Jones’s! Some guys try to justify putting themselves in debt up to their eyeballs so they can make memories. Pretty sure your kids don’t care if they are fishing in a $5,000 boat or a $50,000 boat as long as they are with you and making memories.

    used boat prices

    I’m just curious if it’s possible to make the same kind of memories with your family in a fully paid off $15k boat as it is in a 90% financed sparkly $80k boat? Or are the memories that much less sparkly?

    used boat prices

    I understand the whole thought process behind “enjoy your money and life is short”. Honestly I do. But I also know there’s a lot of guys out there that live in a $500k house, and have a $70k diesel pickup pulling a $45k camper with a $70k boat behind it. All of it financed. Those people survive...

    used boat prices

    I agree. I sold my boat in May of 2020 thinking I would easily be able to find an upgrade in my price range. Nope. Everything seems to have taken a giant jump in price and if you find something you like you better be there with cash in hand or it’s gone a day or two later. I mean 2-5 year old...

    Rush Limbaugh past away this morning

    I grew up in the early 90's riding around in our farm vehicles with my father listening to Rush. Never understood back then why my Dad was always listening to him. As the years passed on, I found myself tuning in to his radio program and nodding my head in agreement as Rush would talk. It got to...

    Lost My Hunting Buddy This Morning

    Sorry to hear that. I'm a firm believer that God put dogs on this earth to be man's best friend. No other thing will show you unconditional love like a dog will. They really become a member of the family. My Condolences to you and your family

    Robinhood App

    I’m sorry if this is a stupid question so please don’t roast me too much. I’m honestly interested in learning about all of this.... If I download Robin Hood and I buy say $50 worth of John Deere stock, there are no margin calls if the value of the John Deere stock goes down correct? In...

    Things an adult should know how to do without Youtube

    I carry one everyday on the farm. I call it my sidearm. You’d be surprised how many times I reach for that thing on a daily basis! - - - Updated - - - Not to go off on a rant here but people need to know how to drive their vehicle when they are in close proximity to a semi. It’s amazing to me...

    Boat dealers

    I’m not here to drag anyone’s name through the mud when they can’t defend themselves so all I will say is I also had a horrible experience with a boat dealer in the Bismarck/Mandan area. I will never go back to that dealer again and I have darn near sworn off that brand of boat as well. I...

    Vacation homes

    My family and I are contemplating purchasing a vacation home in the Black Hills of SD and renting it out when we are not using it. Anybody ever do this? Curious to hear if anyone has experience with this. What did you like/not like about it? What area are you in? We work in the agriculture...
