It’s over - Have they just gone way to far?

$40.   I mean they could have made the bun a little bit longer.   Could you house one?   Would you house one?   More importantly have you housed one?  Would you house it again?

I am no Slim Jim, but 16 inches of spicy wiener isn't exactly my thing. Also $40!

it looks gloriously disgusting enough to try once.   I feel if the dog itself is quality the whole dish will be quality.   I’m from Chicago so I’m afraid of hot dogs from not Chicago tbh.   But it sounds like something to try once 

 

I liked the dramatic subject line here though.  Thought it fit the theme of threads here lol

How much are the tickets to watch the game? Talking about the playoffs. How much is parking? The hotdog is probably a bargain in comparison.

My memory may be off a little bit, but do you help your brother with harvesting this time of year.

Yes.  Switching between corn and beans now.

Are you in Indiana or Illinois? How do the beans and corn look this year? What are your duties during the harvest?

Kansas.  Beans and corn are good this year. Finished some irrigated corn then irrigated beans.  Now dryland beans and then will need to go back to irrigated corn.  I'm usually on semi trucks for irrg corn then combine on beans but sometimes on grain cart if gotta load and run semi.  

We've had a couple rain days.

We are also drilling wheat now but not my job.

Is the yield on irrigated corn around 230 and the irrigated beans 65? My daughter and her family live in Manhattan KS. Her husband is in the Army at Ft. Riley.

Pretty close on corn think irrg beans were a bit higher but dont have final #.

My last harvest in 1980 was in Ohio. I had 130 bpa on non-irrigated land. Harvested it with a John Deere 55 corn special with a 2-row head. The land (150 acres) had been very poorly taken care of for years when I rented it. At one time it easily produced 160 plus bushels. Times have really changed with all the advancements. I hope the harvest goes well for you and your brother. If you care to share any updates that would be great.

I'm opening this up but the hot dog I can do, a brat, no way!

Irrigated corn was under 200, dryland corn was decent, irrg beans 65-70. On dryland beans now looks like a lot of 40.  Wheat in June was 60.  Good year with rain but price sucks.  Fall harvest running Deere s680 12 row corn head and 40' flex drapper for beans ?& milo.   Brother has a second drapper use both in wheat and rented s780 combine from Deere so running two machines.  A year ago the rental machine cost $25k this year Deere uped the rate and changed from separator to engine hours and was $50k.  After wheat harvest one of the drappers needed $25k in repair parts, $50k with labor.  Impact of steel price, labor shortage etc.  Did I mention commodity prices suck.  Using the other drapper in beans, repairs will come later.

That 50k seems like a pretty steep increase over last year. Back in the day for 50K I could have bought 2 nice used 6600 combines with 6 row corn heads and bean heads. 75K to repair the draper head. Wow. Do you sell to nearest elevator or do you have a lot of storage on the farm? It's too bad the markets really suck. Farmers have enough variables to deal without prices being so low.

I think I am listening to the break between 157 and 165 on a Hawkeye Wrestling Radio broadcast.  I might as well be listening to the Canadian French radio broadcast that comes through from time to time on the AM dial as well as I understand all the jargon!
