    Just watched the Dust Bowl By Ken Burns

    I didn't like the ending. Sounded too much like Allen Savory in this talk; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpTHi7O66pI A guy in the Dust Bowl story said the Ogallala aquifer averaged 100 feet deep but since the dust bowl we had used about 50 feet of that. He also said that at the rate of use...

    What do you use to trim under fences?

    I have been using a Husqvarna brush trimmer but I'm looking for something faster that's less work. Maybe that way more of it will get done. What do you use and how do you like it?

    Grass seed mixed into loose minerals?

    I read once that if you put about 50 - 50 loose minerals and grass seed and let the cows eat it free choice that the cows will spread seed as they eat the minerals. I am sure some seed does go through a cows gut and is still viable just think of mustard seeds in your garden when you use cow...

    Who makes a good rock picker?

    Who makes a good rock picker? We're looking to lease one and then, if it does a good job, buy it at the end of the lease. I looked at a Highline 6084 Rock picker on you tube that looks pretty good but want to hear from guys that have used a rock picker and what they think.

    Obamacare - my story

    Owning and operating a farm has it's pluses and minuses. One of the minuses, at least in Maine, is health insurance. Last time I checked before Obama care it was over $900.00 a month for me and my wife and that was with a $2,500.00 deductible. Needless to say we did not have health insurance...

    sure cure for the Cold or Flu

    What I am about to tell you is no joke. It has worked for me and has worked for the rest of my family many times. When someone around us comes down with the flu or we get a cold we will take a whole head of garlic, not one clove but a whole head (one head for one person) peel it, chop it up...

    corporate welfare fraud?

    Did a search on corporate welfare fraud and found this. So who's doing anything about this? Sounds to me like we have thieves on the top as well as the bottom and we're only addressing the bottom. Just scroll down a little to read article. http://thinkbynumbers.org/government-sp ... tatistics/

    The year was 1955

    "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?" "If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store." "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon? Guess we'd...

    I was at the farm show in Augusta, Maine last week and saw a Massey tractor 2wd no cab 61 hp no bucket loader. I can't remember the model number but it was a full size rugged looking machine. They were asking $34,000.00 for it. I bought the exact same size tractor and package only a New...

    Mob grazing- Anybody clean up after the cows go through?

    I have been grazing at about 100,000 lbs/ acre. They do a pretty good job knocking down and eating everything but I am noticing milk weed increasing in my pastures so I have started cutting behind them. The only other option I see is to increase the stocking rate. Anybody else have this...

    How do you feel about the Farm Bill without SNAP?

    Sounds like after 30 years of being part of it, food stamps are out of the Farm Bill. I have read food stamps was one of the reasons there were enough votes to pass the bill in the past. The SNAP program grew by 70 percent between 2007 and 2011. I know the New England Farmers union wants...
