Not sure I know the answer! I am not for censorship, believe in free speech. But this site is Private property of Macon's, so he has the right to do with it as he chooses. Politics are a controversial subject, and this is a very controversial time in our history. Lots of things are happening...

Guess we could call it Global Change, but really we could just go back to whatever it was called before Al Gore was born. Not sure what that was, maybe just referred to as seasons, mother nature, or good year and bad year of weather. But you can be sure the name will change ASAP because this...

Talk about Ironic, Germans are causing an increase in green house gases that cause Global Warming because their record cold winter caused them to burn more Coal. :lol: :lol: Global Warming the Greatest Scientific Hoax the world has seen since they believed the earth was flat! :roll:

I am so confused, the end of time must be upon me. I agree with Kolan and Mrs. Greg both at same time all in one day. :shock: Ps. Nonothing, sorry for the brown nosing to Mrs Greg and Kolan. But I found it interesting that I agree with both their opinions. :wink:

Found this interesting for those that think ethanol will rid us from sending our dollars to the towel heads. since corn needs much more fertilizer than crops like soybeans, not only is the price (up 35%) of fertilizer going up but Much of that fertilizer will be imported. It takes natural gas...

Wood, hemp, straw, corn, garbage, food scraps, and sewage-sludge, natural gas and Coal can all be used to make diesel. The diesel engine and bio-diesel offer a lot more than ethanol in my opinion. Diesel engines were originally designed to run on coal and vegetable oil, it was not until the...

Yea and that is why I believe in looking at a whole other avenue instead of trying to figure out a way to keep things the same as they are currently. Why try to find other ways to keep us dependent on Oil? Why not go a whole other direction were we use no oil? Like Battery power? We have to...

Ethanol contains less energy than gasoline per gallon. This is a matter of science. Auto makers can not change this, anything they can do to make cars get better mileage with E85 would also increase the mileage on regular gasoline. E85 has 72% less energy than regular gasoline rather it is in a...

That is why I am so against the ethanol movement, once the government starts mandating ethanol as the answer for the future then all the other avenues that might have developed begin to dry up. In a free market the best system would win out, rather its ethanol, battery power, Hydrogen...

I agree, there might be a short gain in Corn farming but in the end it will still be the Oil companies making the money off of the ethanol, if they add 10% ethanol (E10) as many states are mandating, 10% will wash out because of the lower efficiency and the energy it takes to produce it. In the...

This is my problem with ethanol, once the Government gets involved things get screwed up. Years ago when people here in KS were talking about building ethanol plants and selling stock in them as a free enterprise. I was for it, but now that the Government is mandating it be in all gasoline and...

They should have made him finish the plate, and eat the whole dog. No reason to be wasteful. :lol: Sounded like he did not have the stomach for it.

Heck I might sign up also, can I get an application and do they take 42 year olds? :lol:

I agree! The money is in the types of professions you mentioned. If a person goes to college just to get training to go be a cow hand on a ranch it might not be good money spent since they do not generally pay very good. But there is a wide range of Ag related professions that hold their own...

FH.....I can just imagine all the guys on here going out and looking at flat brimmed hats and white shirts... :lol: Maybe Mr. FH should get a set up like that for Christmas :wink: A little Role playing never hurt anyone :lol: :lol:

Not sure if it was mentioned, I did not have time to read every single suggestion. But one thing you could consider is trying to get a Job at a Vet Clinic. Would help you to be around animals, hopefully a vet that works on cattle and horses. College for sure is a good choice. Moving to an...

All these secret identities, has me wondering who I use to be? :lol: Or maybe I am the split personality of Kolan that has been fighting for years to get out. naaaaa even if I had split personality and a mental disorder I do not think I could get it as wrong as Kolan does :lol:

Sounds like a good idea to me. Hard to beat Black Baldies in our area. I am wanting to go the direction you are in future. You could go with either a Hereford or Angus bull on the Baldies or you could throw something like a Simmental into the twist also in my opinion. I am going to rotate...

Bet people were really talking about the best dang Angus they ever saw! :lol:

Not sure your point of the post, unless just trying to stir some political talk over here on ranch talk. I blame it on general cost of living increases. The extreme gas prices over the last year. And the boost of ethanol in our area. Wondering if corn prices will go back down if they keep...
