If I was king for a day we’d create a department of the government dealing with farming and food. We’d appoint a person in charge of that agency.

I think I’d name it United States Department of Agriculture and call the person overseeing it the Secretary of Agriculture. lol

We got our money out of that tire. My guess is brand new in very early 1990’s. 14 ply 15.5 x 38. New one will be $585.

Think we’ll get thirty years and 5100 hours out of a new tire?

One of the remaining regional USDA poultry processors quit doing turkeys for farmers this year.

We’ve got lots of calls for turkey processing.

It’s sad where we had to quote per bird processing prices planning on our employees being in overtime.

The sheep grazed across the grass over our drain field for our constructed wetland.

Interesting thread. I was on there podcast a while back…….

Could not agree more that our society is lacking in the civil nuanced discussions.
