    Southern US cold snap?

    Just to make all you "Suhthunus" feel warm........ we've had a high of around -10 the last 4 days, going to warm up to a high of around +4 today, and the wind quit blowing. Heat wave coming next week though, we might even get above freezing during the day.

    Daily Chuckle

    WAIT A MINUTE! ................ We ALL got it wrong................... including D2................... there's not a pipe delivering water to that durned faucet! None of the cups will ever fill.... because there's only that one single drop to come out of that faucet!!!! Silly wabbits! Don't...

    2 can also never fill because the pipe to 3 is slightly above the top of 3... so 3 will run over and 1 will never fill to the upper pipe that runs to 2. And even if the pipe to 3 was down low enough to be below the top of 3 so that it was down in the water when that one filled, 3 would still...

    Anybody drink water from PVC pipes?

    1. The "report" comes from environmentalists.............. not saying that they're wrong, or "always wrong", or that they don't have their place...., just saying you need to look where the information came from and consider it's "factual merit" with a recognition of whose presenting it. A...

    Neighbor looking at Solar Farm

    But think about when those original leases got signed... were the landowners savvy enough to forsee far enough into the future to see that they'd have to protect themself from this kind of thing in the lease language? Probably not. The industry was still just developing... just like the leases...

    The other thing to remember is that as an individual landowner, in a large multiple landowner project... you have VERY little leverage to try to get the leasing company to accommodate desired changes. However, if you all, as a group, work together to achieve more landowner-beneficial changes...

    Neighbor looking at Solar Farm

    GoWyo is right on the money. These leases ARE complicated... and you have to remember that unless there's someone pushing those writing the terms incorporated into those leases, they are being written ENTIRELY by the developer, for the developer's benefit. THAT'S why you need to work with your...

    Neighbor looking at Solar Farm

    Brute is right on all counts. I was on the community advisory board for a wind project that was attempted here. Our sole purpose was to have community individuals on that advisory board to guide the project and help to ensure that we ended up with a "good" project in the end. We worked to...

    Dimmitt Tx Dairy Farm Explosion

    Methane isn't as concerning LONG TERM as they want to make it out to be. Doesn't change the fact that it is a flammable gas that should be concerning when concentrated (manure pits, sewer systems, etc.) Livestock, Methane, and Misinformation

    Neighbor looking at Solar Farm

    1. Solar panels DO radiate heat back out into the atmosphere... they do NOT reduce the amount of heat in the area they are installed in. 2. IMO, solar panels covering a whole field are NOT aesthetically pleasing. I think they're "ugly"... but that's a matter of personal preference. As to the...

    Sustainable Agriculture?

    So, if I've got 100 acres of pasture on converted cropland, and I'm going to be running 50 pairs on that 100 acres... and don't have ANY more ground at all, you're suggesting that once the "herd" has learned to stay together AS a herd, that they'll consistently move around that pasture all by...

    Sustainable Agriculture?

    As I said, "but of course you have to manage the cost/benefit, taking into consideration the labor requirement of this more rigorous strategy. What I hear you saying Brute, is that you feel there is a better "cost/benefit" ratio to a strategy that uses longer graze periods followed by much...

    Sustainable Agriculture?

    Anytime you leave the animals on a pasture for more than about 3 days (the longer this graze period, the more pronounced will be the impact), they will tend to selectively come back to regraze (take a second bite) on plants that they've already taken the "first bite" off of, as they recover...

    Stock dogs

    Exactly right Travlr. The headers (which a border collie is) will always want to work the herd TOWARD YOU... as you are the Alpha... natural instinct. They have been bred to go out around to the other side of the "herd", gather them up and keep them gathered, and then bring them to YOU. With...

    Chutes

    Yeah, I got an SO-1 for "the right money" ($1500 and it was absolutely just as nice as if I'd bought it brand new, never sat outside, always cleaned up after use, very small producer that had it, and he only had it about a year or so), so I couldn't pass it up, but I definitely would have...

    Chutes

    Cafe' door type... don't like 'em. Straight in/out like the Priefert or ArrowQuip/Lakeside is much better, IMO.

    Stock dogs

    I had a Border Collie from one of the most highly recognized breeders in the world... Jack Knox. Awesome dog. If you're getting one as a pup, it's alot easier to train them on sheep, or for starters, ducks actually... because they won't challenge the dog nearly as much because of their strong...
