    Army Worms are Marching in GA

    I'm about ready to bale army worms instead of hay. We've been fighting these critters for over six weeks and they are winning.

    Kubota RTV 900 CV Joints and Axles going out

    Fixing crack in Rubbermaid stock tank

    Anyone have a good method to fix a crack in a Rubbermaid stock tank? I have tried silicon, and gorrila glue. The latter worked fair, but the crack is back. I was wondering if using pvc cement (after priming) would work - the one that can be used on wet pipe? Tell me your secrets. Thanks. Billy
