Anybody want to invest in my company?

I appreciate the concern, R2. Like I told faster horses in the "violent homosexuals" thread, I've been very busy. Perhaps this is a more appropriate place to talk about my offer: I've recently written a few articles on farmers who directly market their meat and produce to restaurants and...

I'm working on an article about how to avoid getting stiffed for livestock. The main case I'm looking at is a guy who sold livestock to a company several times successfully before they didn't pay him and then stopped returning his calls. What kind of precautions should people take so this won't...

Fred and his wife went to the state fair every year. At the fair was one of those open-cockpit biplanes. Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Edna would say, "I know, Fred, but that airplane costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten...

I've got some huge chunks of wood from a tree we recerntly cut down. I want to chop them down into firewood, but don't have a reliable ax. I bought one at Home Depot not too long ago, but the blade actually bent and warped after a few good chops. It must have been a shitty blade, unless this is...

I'm doing an article on no-till and reduced tillage operations. Do any of you use these systems? Why? How has it helped? What are the drawbacks?

I originally posted this in "nevermind", but I think it's worthy of it's own thread. Read further at your own risk: A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats...

I bought some eggnog at the grocery store, and was planning on heating it up and adding some whiskey. But then I read everywhere you serve eggnog cold. Do you guys have any tips? If I heat it up, will it cook the egg content? Also - how much whiskey to add?

I'm working on an article about reducing your diesel bill. Do any of you have any fuel-saving ideas? I won't quote you or mention your name, but your ideas could be helpful when I actually begin interviewing people (probably from university extension services.) P.S. The article will be written...

There's been some mentions of whiskey, so I was wondering what everyone's favorite booze is. I've been drinking Old Crow for a while now, but am looking to expand my horizons. Drink recipes also welcome. Usually it's just straight whiskey for me, maybe w/ a splash of lemon juice.

I'm doing an article on rBST and I'm curious about what any dairy farmers think about it. I realize most people here are probably meat producers, but what's it hurt to ask? All comments are off the record, so feel free to speak your mind.

I was sitting here in front of my computer thinking about article ideas, when it struck me that I could be staring at one. Ranchers.net is a pretty thriving internet community, with ranchers and others from around the U.S. communicating with each other. How open would you guys be to having...

I wouldn't have a problem with that guy, but he seems like an egomaniac every time he's on TV.

I received this joke from my editor. It's pretty clever, so I figured you guys would get a kick out of it: An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his potato garden, but it was very hard work, as the ground was solid and he was getting on in years. His only son, Fred, who used...
