Mankind has been lifting heavy objects since the beginning of time and an online video shows a man using a tractor to provide weight resistance.

In the 1995 video, then 46-year-old Jaako Pessinen, a Finnish lumberman, drives a Valmet 33 tractor in place.

After parking the tractor, Pessinen approaches the 1600kg (3527lbs) tractor and tries to lift it, using one of the rear tires to secure his grip.

He gets the rear wheel off of the ground with relative ease, but after a few attempts to re-grip the tire and flip the tractor over, he puts it back on the ground.

The video quickly cuts to a shot of Pessinen’s back as he stands ready to try again.

He again gets the rear wheel of the tractor off the ground and slips his hands underneath the tire to get a better grip.

With a few grunts, he powers through and leaves the tractor flipped on its side.

Before the video fades out, Pessinen is seen bent over and panting heavily from the lift.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
