Are you sure that isn't really "the mean STREETS"? Isn't that where the urban farmers reside? I see California is kicking in taxpayer money to save marijuana growers (who aren't an endangered species in any state that I as aware of). It would be funny if we weren't paying for it all with...

I'd sure like to know if that works. Sounds less labor intensive the the old cut-and-paint stump approach that seems like it slowed, but did not permanently cure the problem. Where did those things come from, anyway - some foreign lab funded with our tax dollars? :)

Can access this link: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAFARMERS/bulletins/2e4116a Kind of cryptic and a lot confusing, at least to me. Headliner says USDA is about to may "loan payments" to certain "disadvantaged" groups - but text says not a single word about how/what/when. I...

Not sure locust is actually a tree, but certainly agree that the only good locust is a dead locust! :-) They are, however, not all that easy to kill from what I've seen. Cut them then individually paint the "stump" with stump killer - let me know if you know a better way. They are tenacious.

Concur (even though I suspect that Willy sometimes forgets Willie these days). Nevertheless, Still Not Dead is my personal theme song.

I've already been disqualified - Browning web cite states clearly that the 16 is "the gentleman's gauge".

Does the one you got have a sister? That thing is just plain pretty.

Shelter belts are good. So is burning, but you probably won't eliminate many mature trees unless you get a fire hot enough to be difficult to control. And you don't need a hot fire anyway to yield maximum benefits. Please make sure you have really good insurance before you torch dry trees!

Bad plan - 20 gauge ammo is still easier to find than 16. A true masochist would seek out a 16. Thats why the one I have just isn't enough!

Beautiful. Ignorant question but what makes it a "lightening" vs "regular" A5? I presume reduced weight - but how? Milled out sections inside the receiver? I must admit that I have developed a severe "new gun I don't need" itch since viewing - thanks a lot!

IRT the $4 billion real dollars to be diverted from actual conservation efforts, I don't think we are actually looking at "incentives". The beneficiaries aren't folks looking to get into farming. Nor, in most instances, are they being forced out of farming because people stopped eating during...

I don't think the issue has anything to do with business practices, or the South (which hasn't seen the kind of "mostly peaceful" protests sparked by racial issues that, say, Minneapolis is undergoing for quite some time). The implication seems to be that the US Government has placed minority...

It appears that USDA intends to proceed with this program, judges be hanged. Scratching my head as to what agricultural or environmental objectives will be served. Seems like there is no shortage of beneficial efforts that this effort will divert billions away from. What am I missing...

I suspect your comment on trees was tongue in cheek but I just noticed the very relevant input just 7 lines or so down in this very string. Lots of outstanding reference material out there on nurturing quail habitat - let me know if you actually are in search of such information.

I'm old and easily confused, but wasn't suggesting that you promote forestation. Rather that you cut some trees down, leaving the tops hinged over to provide cover - particularly from avian predators. Sounds like found yourself a very nice place, and plan to serve as a good steward to the land.

No guts, no glory. So here are my bold prognostications with which you may beat me about the head and shoulders if I prove to be wrong. However, you must refer to me as "Mister Nostradamus, AKA KS native" if I'm in the ball park. However, you must stake out your position now - not after the...

No takers?

This isn't going to help matters, at least in the short run - unless they get "sold back" to the US: https://www.breitbart.com/border/2021/06/13/gunmen-in-mexico-steal-7-million-ammunition-rounds-headed-to-texas/

We need to stand together here. It never was a lie, since time spent reloading is time not spent engaging in more costly vices. Of which there are many.

Congrats - but are you sure you want to clear that brush? Hinge cut some trees instead, maybe?
