[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 904954, member: 3739"] I mentioned to you before in the other thread that started all this: it's not BS if it's something that can be made to work and you (or rather I) believe that can be made to work in an operation. The government may not sit well with you, but with me it's a bit different since, from where I come from, they have a lot of good programs and information that encourage producers to do better in their operation and try to achieve more sustainability. To you it seems as if all this is from environmental wackos, but really, SL, what's wrong with improving farming practices because of concerns voiced by these "environmental wackos?" We don't have to completely listen to their wishes about what they think agriculture should be because, as we all know, 99% of the time they don't know how to run a farm and 99% of the time will fail in trying to do so. It's up to us producers to choose a happy medium that works both for the business and for these so-called "environmental wackos." I don't understand how or why you are trying to argue my and everyone else's points about water and watershed/riparian conservation as being mere propaganda and not actual fact and merit to something that is truly great and good for the land, animals, soil, plants, etc. I am not being spoon-fed anything Sir Loin, I've done a lot of reading and research on this and had personal experiences with such things as this and I agree with working towards having healthier and actual wetland habitat (also another term for watershed) instead of having a low spot that adds nothing to the farm other than being a muddy, boggy water-filled shyt-hole to get the tractor stuck in and to pull animals out of if they get stuck up to their necks in it. FYI the area in the corrals at the farm here is just that, and quite a lot of the land that these corrals cover is 70 to 80% slough, or ancient wetland that should've been left as a wetland instead of being turned into a really ugly and highly unproductive mud-hole. There's no need to go on like that and say that I've been spoon-fed bullcrap about this from "environmental wackos" and the government. From where I'm from, the government from the country I live in (Canada) is a bit different from yours (USA), and consequently a bit more informative and supportive of agriculture than what you've had experience with (or lack there of...). To answer your question, it's obvious from what I wrote above about what your mission statement should read that indeed, we are talking about the same thing, just in a different way and with a little more emphasis on my part. Alrighty, I think I've wrote enough of an essay for tonight. Hopefully I don't get any dislike-mail from you tomorrow. :) [/QUOTE]
