    I might get roasted for this but... Do you know if Rokslide has ever considered a paywall?

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    Ag extension agents round here typically get a few years of experience then bail to a big ag company or a higher paying job at a university. Which is fine. Its their choice. I've gone through about 6 in the last dozen or so years for my area. Lifecycle is typically 2-4 years. None have had...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    You think that is weak while suggesting running a multi-million dollar operation from a fresh out of college ag extension educator? or a pamphlet rack??? Know what other pamphlets are in that FSA rack? Ones on farmer suicide.

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    You're right. I've only been on a farm for 20+ years now. What do I know what I've been told/not told to do. I must have just missed that erosion training class.

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    I think that is a reasonable approach. I think a growing number of farmers want to do right by the environment. But I think most just follow the status-quo. If a practice is generally accepted, most will consider it as a viable option. Remember, up to this point no one has told them any...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    So this is my working understanding of nitrogen "stabilizers". Take it with a grain of salt. It kills the bacteria that transforms the ammonium form of nitrogen (which is less leachable) into the Nitrate form (which is more leachable). Supposedly it at most buys a week or two before the process...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    No-till is seeming to gain popularity every year, but its slow-going. But cover crop is another story. Some years its good, some years it is a total disaster. It all depends on rainfall. When soil moisture is limited, you can't be wasting water on a "crop" that doesn't make you a dime. If this...

    Hands will be forced eventually. Look at what is happening in the Netherlands and lesser extent Canada. It will find its way to the US. I understand the desire for better environmental practices, but you can't obtain it by collapsing the food chain.

    Big Buddy problems

    Hows your pilot flame look? Nice blue flame or does it look like a bic lighter? I've had to take mine apart an clean it out several times. Spider webs, other misc debris can build up in there and cause all kinds of issues. Every time after cleaning, it runs like a champ.

    Idaho Tag Site Already Crashed

    I didn't realize how many people are not present when they are buying these tags at a in-store retailer.

    I'd scrap this system. End "OTC" and just roll everything into the NR controlled hunt draw. If they want my $ before the draw, so be it. -No more hoping you have to refresh your page at just the right time -No more wasted hours staring at a screen or on hold. -No more waiting outside...

    They will repeat the call back number to you before you hang up.

    Uhhh...that's not hunting dude.

    I'd rather spend that 20k going to AK and so would most on here, but its his money and his choice. Is he some spectacular hunter? Heck no. He just has a big wallet. But at least he is doing that and not spending it on a Bentley or something. He had a good time, and wants to brag/tell people...

    There is no government check. The subsidy is in the form of tax credit. You have to produce something of benefit to qualify. If you end the subsidy there would be no production to collect tax on. And yep pay people to stay home. Brilliant idea because it worked so well in 2020-2021. I'd start...

    Probably wouldn't go to ANY news agency if you want to know how the ag industry operates. Especially an article written by a Washington insider. "You know, farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field." Dwight D. Eisenhower I can't say...
