    Land prices.

    So it was aliens then. Science is pretty much an open book, there aren’t that many different sources of energy in the universe. Reversing gravity would be way cool. I’d like to see a link that you have available, the pyramids are an interesting topic.

    Good deal. Weren’t the turkey and deer folks interested in helping ?

    Land prices.

    Recent history has shown that farmland bought at nearly any price has been a good buy. With appreciation, prices one day are seen to be bargains five years after. That works until it doesn’t. Folks with cash in banks try to get “that one next door” and hope to make it work before the bottom...

    Can you cut the breaks just before you burn ?

    Rem 105 CTi questions

    I think Remington of old could have made it work, it was about this time the accountants took over.

    Rem 105 CTi questions

    I’ve always looked at them as a left handed shooter. I wonder with the bottom ejecting pumps being successful they couldn’t make a gas operated slide work ?

    Corner crossings

    Nah, takes all kinds. Anyone who is influenced to trespass based on one person’s views is going to trespass anyway. My opinion only.

    Rem 105 CTi questions

    They are interesting shotguns, parts are nearly unobtainable from what I understand.

    Future of CRP ?

    Our first piece enrolled was a pilot project, we have a very active NRCS here. The five year enrollment is confusing, in addition it can not be reenrolled. Kinda odd. Our first patch I didn’t see any seeding requirements so I put down some native grass thinking at the end of the 5 years it might...

    Future of CRP ?

    No, we looked into the grassland program, it is more for the western states. In our area alfalfa is treated same as corn and beans for cropping history. If I had no tilled orchard grass into the pastures and treated it the same, the fields wouldn’t have qualified. Interesting note. One 25 acre...

    Future of CRP ?

    I’m not sure it is uniform across the country but alfalfa is considered an insurable crop here and counts towards cropping history for CRP eligibility. We always rotationally grazed our pastures, every five years we no tilled alfalfa into the old pasture and cut it for hay a couple years, then...

    Future of CRP ?

    Just got confirmation my EQIP application got accepted. EQUIP set aside is primarily a water quality program, the acres are small and need wetlands. This one is five acres and has a vertical intake on it. Those are the orange tile things sticking up in fields for those who don’t know. Every one...

    Early 1950's Browning Light 12 Gauge Shotgun Potentially for Sale

    It’s a shotgun that would have more than a few folks interested, but you will really need to get some quality photos of every little bit of it. When I buy on gunbroker there needs to be a dozen or more close up photos before I really consider a purchase. There are lots of these available, I...

    Early 1950's Browning Light 12 Gauge Shotgun Potentially for Sale

    That’s a reasonable price for two barrels and that condition. I can’t see from the photos what the condition of the metal is.
