    Fixed income

    NVIDIA stock has gone up rapidly, but it also had a major drop recently. I own some but I also have an indefinite expiration sell order at a target price. It is a very volatile stock. I would not recommend unless you can stand the potential risk of a downturn. They are the AI leader but the...

    heads up Windows users

    Doubters are gonna doubt. Horseless carriages are never going to catch on. The basis for AI is that it doesn’t need the algorithms written for it. It “learns” as it interacts with other computers and people. It basically writes its own “algorithms” or in other words learns. I saw an example of...

    Hydraulic hiccups with JD tractor

    That is called good luck. Add enough gas and the engine changes to a gernade. With no spark plug gas detonates inconsistently hence the bucking & jerking. Enough gas & eventually it will detonate prematurely & destroy the engine. That is apples & oranges to a hydraulic system. At the price of...

    Hydraulic hiccups with JD tractor

    I would never put anything but the HyTech hydraulic fluid in it. Change the fluid, the filter, clean the screen again and use it. If it doesn’t stop the noise after a few hours the pump has been damaged by the restricted flow. Usually the cause for the jerky feeling & noise is air in the system...

    Night time calving?

    My cows generally calve during the day. I usually feed at night if I feed. There is research to back up the theory. Doesn’t work 100% but for the majority. https://texasfarmbureau.org/feed-at-night-calve-during-the-day/#:~:text=Feeding%20cows%20later%20in%20the,total%20cows%2C"%20said%20Dr.

    Tractor recommendations

    I have 2 in that range. New Holland T5070 & JD 6135E. I favor the JD, just feels more rugged, easier to work with.

    No bureaucrats disturbed

    Any hay is better than no hay. But those bales are very soft. Time to up the density on his baler or buy a new one.

    Hot Hello from North Texas

    Welcome from SE Texas.

    Baler recommendations wanted

    Sorry I can’t speak to the brands you mentioned. All balers have their quirks and you have to learn how to conquer them. I have a NH BR-560. It will eat anything you can drive over and makes a bale as solid as a boulder. However it also saves chaff in numerous cracks & crannies. I blow it out...

    What grass is this

    The flip side of JG: Johnsongrass is toxic when under stress, including for about 72 hours after a "killing" frost. After a "burn back" frost, it can be toxic for at least 10 days and possibly longer.

    Looking for hayfield advice

    If you want pasture Bahia will be fine. If you want hay use something else. 60% of Bahia’s protein content is in the bottom 3 inches of the plant, so no matter how tall it grows you will only get 40% of the plant’s protein.

    Looking for hayfield advice

    Spraying with Pastora will give you 2 for 1. It is effective against grass burrs & Bahia. Then put in the grass of your choice.
