Actually good insulation helps no matter the temps. Dogs shed heat by panting, not so much through the skin. Lots of water would be the key.

Does he want to kill a bird ?

I agree with the dicamba thing. That wasn’t thought out very well. This coming year will be my first for planting GMO soybeans. I just can no longer withstand getting dinged by the neighbor’s drift, They all do it according to label, I’m pretty certain of that. But it just can’t be predicted how...

I’ve read were the urban landscape has more chemicals applied than farm country per acre.

Federal crop insurance would be the place I would start. Many of those large operations couldn’t get the funding if crop insurance didn’t guarantee a certain level of income. There would be too much risk for lenders. Sorry if that steps on toes, just my opinion.

That’s pretty much what the current economic system has done to small businesses throughout the economy. I’m in agreement with you.

If what you say it true then we agree. I have no first hand knowledge, only speaking for the programs I have participated in here in IOWA.

Birdbuster: Reading comprehension was always a problem for me in school. I learned to slow down and not assume anything while reading. It has worked for me. Get to the point: Regarding “working the system“, I don’t think you are saying that a producer who signs up for a program and follows the...

“And for the pool reference, what if you spent your time and money to come out to my pool the state said was there but when you showed up it wasn't cold but drained?” I guess if I knew that was a possibility I wouldn’t complain. If I didn’t know that was a possibility then I would take that as...

Get otta here with those reasonable explanations. Not Kansas but when I was enrolled in Iowa’s walk in program any and all agricultural practices were allowed on the land. It was simply “This private land is open to public use.” Whatever was there is what you got. Birdwatchers, asparagus...

I don’t think so. The violation is clear, charging or not is up to the officer. Law enforcement don’t like “is this or is this not a violation”. They can handle “should I or should I not write a ticket”.

Laws need to be black and white. The less they are subject to interpretation by the officer the better. One guy, one truck, 7 birds, that’s it, you’re over. My opinion. Now, a good officer should be able to have options as to if he will charge, but whether or not a violation has occurred...

The topic of making laws and such is interesting. I have acquaintances in the UK, they can’t believe the things we get away with here on the farm. They have rules and regulations for everything, always the possibility of an inspection. I‘ll try to explain it thusly: In the UK with all the rules...

I have always known the rule. Why, I have no idea. I was surprised other states allowed it. I think it’s a good rule.

Some of you might want to change the “glory hole” terminology to the more correct “honey hole”. Maybe your autocomplete function is showing it’s stripes.

Probably go east of Miles City, west is government land.

Closest I’ve come I guess you would call a report triple. Rooster got up and dropped him, another, and another. All from the same spot, flew the same direction and fell within maybe a ten yard circle. Hunting alone and I was done within half an hour.

We are conflating two different situations. I’m not that familiar with the South Dakota situation, I have farming family out there but don’t get into the various program rules. One situation is privately owned land that is enrolled in some sort of public access program. Haying and grazing on...

I totally understand the frustration. I make a good portion of my income from selling hay, the government releases this CRP and the hay market reacts. Only one year in the last several have I been able to hay CRP, and I followed the rules about not being able to sell it. I gave it to my...

Nice shotgun.
