So I'm plugging away and my monitor beeps and says "No GPS currently available." About a minute later, my brother calls. He's running the 2nd planter a few miles away and his GPS went to hell at the same time. Turning things off and on ain't done anything so we're thinking it's a satellite issue submitted by /u/sharpshooter999 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello. I live on a farm, and we focus mainly on making silage to sell/feed our sheep. We were talking about bale wrapping during dinner, and someone brought up the color of the bales.

This is oddly specific. CT USA startup farming operation. 2 acres of vegetable farming just turned into 2 acres of vegetable with the opportunity of 5 additional acres of an established hop plant farm. I need to incorporate like in the next couple days. I had made this logo for my business plan, but it was a ... Uh ... Working title. Plays off of my last name and the whole catalyst for changing careers with the eclipse totality. But who cares about any of that except me lol. I was probably more excited to use my blurry totality photo than anything. Not sure what would be a good name. Old ..read more
