    Corn and the Drought

    Exactly. Here a link to WSJ which calculates an increase in food prices of 3-4%. Drought Effect on Consumer Food Prices Likely Muted - Real Time Economics - WSJ Whereas gas prices would increase more dramatically without ethanol. Where do you want to take the hit. The food side is...

    Corn and the Drought

    Interest will attach on Nov 1. But I'll bet you an acre of corn that 50% of the claims won't be worked by then. I worked for a crop insurance company in 2008 and that year losses were heavy due to price decline. I think maybe 20-30% of the claims were closed by November. However, if we catch...

    Jantz, Barnett still battling for starting nod

    I agree with you but you omitted the fact that Jantz was throwing balls 12 yards over guys heads in that game. The flash of Jantz in the come backs is impressive and what we think about. But we need a guy to run the offense so we're not buried and need a Houdini act to win at the of the...

    Jantz, Barnett still battling for starting nod

    I think your man crush on Jantz is border line disturbing. He is the biggest threat on the field, for ISU to lose. The turnovers last year were flat out demoralizing. You could see it in the teams body language. Watch the debacle of the Mizzou game. I agree with others, we shouldn't be...

    KXNO's Miller & Brinson ratings low again?

    I have no idea what you're talking about but if you call the Pinstripe Bowl, Insight Bowl, and 6-7 win seasons anything above moderate success, you need your head checked. And I'm fine with being competitive. When I fork over my money for donation and season tickets, I just want to watch a...

    KXNO's Miller & Brinson ratings low again?

    Sounded to me more like they were killing time because they have nothing else to talk about it. And it was clarified that it was second hand information from a media member saying "we're gonna come after your coach". Get used to it unless you want ISU to suck. Teams are going to come after...

    Big 12 Announces Men's Basketball Schedule

    That's good, I asked JP to keep the home games to a minimum while I'm on my honeymoon in Costa Rica.

    Road Trip to TCU with The Gridiron Club

    It's threads like these that clearly shows we should have negative rep. I swear some of you would complain if someone walked up and handed you a $20 bill because it wasn't a $50.

    Google Fiber

    +1. I could write a novel complaining about ESPN. I would only miss HBO, and only for awhile. Hopefully this will come to Central Iowa soon. Plus you could get on ESPN 3 (with someone else's password) anytime you want to watch a sporting event.

    Drought

    I don't know, but I never understand waiting for a magical number. Right now, you can get close to 8 and I hauled a decent jag of $8 corn in the last week. From $8.00 to $8.25, you're only talking about 3% increase. If you aren't selling now, you should be waiting for $9. Just my opinion...

    Here's something new (weather 7/25)

    Actually, I would take a nice hail and wind storm on my corn. Sounds crazy, but as far gone as my crop is, it's going to be the best way to maximize revenue. But I probably got the snub like the Norwalk guys...

    Spanier: I was abused as kid, wouldn't ignore Sandusky allegations

    Can't remember all the details of the emails, but it came off to me as Spanier was leaving it to Curly and/or Shultz to take care of it (report it to the authorities). Then the two underlings didn't do anything about it after they talked to JoePed... It may save Spanier's *** in court, but he...

    That's longer than Pancheros. I actually consider just flushing it down the toilet and saving 5 minutes.
