That place in Nebraska might already be under a bunch of snow. Big blizzard up in that part of the country: http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/national/weather-radar

CJohnson, in your experience has availability mattered in cattle's willingness to graze? From my experience, if they are not limited by smaller paddock or a hot wire they will tend to roam into the woods and look for something green. Their roaming decreases their intake and their intake...

Here are a few of the gems; it is pretty scary the way some people think: pescetarian on Oct 2, 4:57 AM said: @TheMerc: The animals aren't eating grass, idiot. They're caged in factory farms living in their own waste. EAG on Sep 30, 6:38 PM said: @AA: I'm never sure if your logic includes...

Not only is producing meat important, but so is the communication of how beef cattle are raised important. If you don't think that it is important to communicate this, then you should read the comments of the following article: http://www.businessinsider.com/reasons- ... 055a40fda6 It is...

It's called the Haber Process. Now do some reasearch on the price of corn, price of natural gas, and the price of the source of N of your choice. It follows corn*. *Or whichever is "high". If natural gas was high, anhydrous would be high. But if corn was low and NG was where it is today...

Neat.

Of course it is ethanol that has used up so much of the corn to take ending corn stocks to low levels, pushing up prices. Some interesting news though, the amount of ethanol produced has seemed to top out. And, sooner or later corn could have more competition in the ethanol conversion process...

Chicken litter goes up with the cost of chemical fertilizer and feed. Year round grazing either requires fertilizer (N dependent and dependent of the price of corn) or a lower stocking rate, or if you are a mob grazer, more labor. If you do not fertilize or at least put a higher priority on...

Actually Australia is a decent indicator of what the weather will be like in the southern U.S. When it floods in Australia it is dry here and vice versa. They are talking about how easy it is to put their fence posts in on the Australian talk thread on the Coffee Shop board.

Yes, that is my experience too. What did you do with the big charred logs? I have a JD650 6 way blade with a root rake and a JD850 with a 4 way. Both have limb risers (sweeps). I started out with just the 650. While that can get a lot done for its size (just under 100HP), the amount of...

Did you finish picking up limbs, roots and sticks by hand or with a root rake? Ah, I see you used a root rake on a tractor. Did you have problems with flat tires while you were raking? How did you burn off the wood piles? After you burned the wood piles a few times, what did you do with the...

People who are grass farmers think that by grazing they are detatching themselves from the price of corn. Acutally though, this is not so. Fertilizer follows the price of corn and not the price of natural gas. If ammonia or urea (N) followed natural gas, fertilizer would be cheap. (Nitrogen...

He has about a 5 month drought every year.

Don't you have guinea grass there? How long is the wet season in the part of Venezuela you are located?

I drove through the South Dakota Badlands in July. It looked amazing. People told me they had never seen the Badlands look like they have this summer. I-29 from Omaha to Sioux City was underwater, along with some Iowa corn along the Missouri river. I still wasn't impressed with the Nebraska...

I have sold over half the cow herd; the older girls that were not going to breed back. I am still grazing the rest. The others I will test to see if they are open pretty soon. Biopryn has been wonderful for this. I am hoping to be able to graze sheep all the way through and keep all of my...

At $80 a roll for hay and feeding 8-10 bales until grass starts growing, you are upside down on your cattle. And on the prospects of high replacement prices when the drought ends, I am not counting on that. I haven't worked out the numbers myself, but I understand cow slaughter is actually...

The 116 year average annual rainfall for East Texas is 46.48". Specifically for East Texas, since 1895 the annual rainfall has only been less than 30" on one occasion and that was in 1917 with 28.28". Tyler, TX year to date rainfall is 12.83" versus 29.63" average year to date rainfall...

I think Cow Creek is interested in getting heavily and quickly into RFI efficiency. They are probably hitching up with them because they have the necessary infrastructure instead of making the investment themselves.
