I don't even mind wrong observations as long as I learn something. May we all improve our operations.
Hope everyone got some of the recent rains. Definitely put a spring in my step!
Seems a bit too emotional for me. Won't disagree that those with practical experience often get frustrated with the academics, but I like to try to put both together. There have been times when I have been shown that the cause/effect relationship wasn't as I had assumed from what I observed. And the academics saved my farm from the current drought.He stated an opinion, he didn't say he was going to build a university level class on that basis. Looking around and seeing things, taking to people from those areas, then forming an opinion doesn't require an exhaustive study supported by links and peer reviewed papers. I really don't need a link to tell me my barn roof gets wet when it rains, my grass grows better if we get rain, the grass in some parts of the country provide more nutrients and are of a better quality than other places, or if my hayfields do better after a year when we have snow, I just see it and believe it, and if someone tells me those things and they have experienced I tend to believe them. If you don't believe them then it's you that needs to provide the links and reports providing empirical data proving it's wrong
