    Once Again

    Here in Minnesota we have more wolves than the other 48 combined. My incident. We have registered cattle tagged and weighed at birth. Wolf spotted on our land by a neighbor. A calf was born, tagged and weighed. Next day no calf on that cow. No big deal calves are hidden. After a few days...

    Robo calls

    Now they can use YOUR number to make calls. I have returned calls and people said I called them and in turn I have dialed missed calls and been answered by another local person who had no idea. farmguy

    THE WAYFARING STRANGER by Steve Moreland, November 21, 2017

    From photos I have seen and people I have talked to the west prior to the Taylor grazing act was not all that wonderful.

    Question on seeding alfalfa into grass stand

    Here in Minnesota I have good luck grazing very short in late fall. Then go in with a no till drill in early March or as soon as possible and no till in red clover and alfalfa. Then let it get some growth before again strip grazing.

    Final Thoughts on Cherry County Wind, by Steve Moreland December 10, 2016

    I suppose I am going to start a row here but here goes. This reminds me of Ted Kennedy, a very vocal advocate of wind energy. Then when a project was announced for Old Cape Cod his tune changed. Cape Cod was such a special place (where he lived) that while wind energy was still a great idea just...

    Final Thoughts on Cherry County Wind, by Steve Moreland December 10, 2016

    So the issue is reduced property values. I do know a little about that. I have a close neighbor across the road who has 7 acres, 2 horses and 100 plus junk cars and other scrap. I own land on 2 sides and a son owns land on the other sides. This eye sore does not enhance our property values. Down...

    Final Thoughts on Cherry County Wind, by Steve Moreland December 10, 2016

    I am curious about the negative effects of a wind tower on adjoining land. I have one of the largest wind towers in the nation about a mile from me. I have not been following this thread so help me and no I have no desire to have a wind tower. I have seen no ill effects nor have I heard anything...

    I hope none of us need one of these this winter

    Makes me glad for winter grazing and bale feeding. That snow isn't even deep, add 3 more feet on the level. But I must admit it would be fun to own. farmguy

    Bale Grazing

    I have bale grazed. Works fantastic and a couple years ago drifts around buildings were 15 feet high. Bale grazing worked fine. Hard part was getting out to bales to move wires down to next setting. I just followed the cow trails. No way a tractor could have navigated the fields. Bale grazing...

    one question on Bundy

    I let things calm down. I have only one question. Call it biased if you will but I would like an answer, if there is one. I read the Taylor grazing act of 1934. In 315B the law states that granting of a permit creates no right, estate or interest to the land. How did that go to what we have now...

    Bundy Ranch

    For Pete's sake stop name calling and answer a simple question. I have had no answer to a simple question. Why does he state he owns the land? Many years ago I found out that if you can't answer the question. Attack the person who asks the question. Next take your toys and go home or in this...

    Bundy Ranch

    Ignoring comments on my "hidden agenda" Bundy made a comment that he owns the land. Help me understand how he can believe this.

    Bundy Ranch

    Help me understand. #1 Mr. Bundy does not own the land, we the people do. #2 Is it true Mr. Bundy was given compensation for his loss of grazing on land he does not own? #3 Mr. Bundy has illegally grazed cattle on land not his and which he paid no rent or fees for 20 years? #4 Mr. Bundy paid...

    Bill Cosby Comments, refreshing

    BILL HAS GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN... They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And...
