Little boy in KC was sent home under hospice care from Children's Mercy. His wish was to see some cool cars and trucks.
This was just one of the parking lots used to stage the car parade for him.

India has shocked the global #urea world by cutting their purchase in half, down from 724KMT to a now 340KMT. World is left scrambling and shows why it is so important to wait for the final results before building a market POV.

My aunt also wants it so have to outbid her.
Dad is willing to help to get me started.
Honestly scared to death but would love to put my advice into practice.
OK, I want a post do-over:
City folk: "farmers are just a bunch of dumb hicks living in flyover states that have no idea what technology is."
Farmers planting the 2023 crop: "this is my view every day..."
There, that feels better!
In Kansas City, the current temp is -3F and with the wind, the wind chill is -27F. News agencies continue to warn about the dangerous conditions of this artic blast. Schools and businesses are shutting as a result.
Northern Plains and Canadian farmers call this a Thursday.
This is where solar should be placed. Every parking lot. Every city building. Every ground between the roads on the interstate systems.
NOT ON FARMGROUND.
