Races were pretty good, no rainouts this time. Had both my daughters there as well as my nephew from Germany.
On a happier note, I have a job offer from John Deere Des Moines! They are even starting me out higher than I was asking for, but that is one of the benefits of using the talent acquisition companies. They get paid a commission based on the wages that I get, so they of course shoot for higher wages for me as well. The gentleman I interviewed with has taken a similar life path as I did, so understands quite well what I can bring to the table.

The one from Des Moines is choosing to pursue other candidates, the one in Monticello has been notified if they want in, they best do so. I do like the job itself more, it isn't pigeon holed into one spot, but will be a variety of positions actually. They also are aware and unafraid of having to train/teach me a bit more, but I have found that to be true of Deere in general.

I am in the electronics field and have found that true on many aspects.

Estimate is already 14% lost. I saw a field the other day that all of the end rows are a couple feel tall and all burned up. Not sure why it was just the end rows, and nothing more...

Good morning Iowa! Another hot one up here in the NW corner too... We had some good rains a couple weeks ago so the crops are hanging on for now.
Congrats on the job Roger, when does it start?
