  1. enough that your teachers don't decamp for other states and leave no one to teach your simpletons their ABCs and 123s for 12 years.
  2. It’s always fun for me to see the Brangus talk as they do not thrive in the climate up here. There were a few attempts 30 odd years ago, but it worked as well as they guys who tried cotton.
  3. I really enjoyed that one, and Janesville: An American Story, and Glass House in similar books.
  4. It's really hard to understate how great the Nebraska Sandhills are for cows. You might have a shorter grazing season, but you have spring fed hay meadows to compensate.
  5. It’s been a little but stuffs still not great. The only place that guys seem happy is SW Nebraska for now
  6. I am in SE Nebraska. I work with and have cattle with a number of operations in KS,NE,SD and IA
  7. If I can get a place bought this fall, I'm hoping to get a much more permanent grazing feeding set up put together. The idea is to convert an old dairy into the base of operations.
  8. I’ve got my fats locked in for early June movement and I’m going to buy a set for summer mob grazing, and then another set in the fall.
  9. I’ve seen ads where they suggest issuing the 50 dollar buckets to hold stuff while you work cattle, as if the average guy didn’t already have a bunch of buckets just sitting around already
  10. The Oak Ridge Boys at the 100th Diller Picnic, I was 14, and sold drinks, and helped disassemble the stage as part of the Local FFA chapter
  11. Since I consider Larry McMurtry one of our greatest living Americans, and as such was inspired to be a book collector, I felt like we should have a non-fiction reading thread. Currently I’m reading Pandora’s Box by Jorn Leonard, which is a WWI history just translated into English by one of Germany’s top historians. I’m also starting on A.G. Hopkins’ American Empire, with high hopes.
  12. The end lesson is that you got keep the blackmail out of the sex cult right? Otherwise, everything was above board.
  13. A high priced durable good that fills a somewhat small niche has to be kind of a bitch to keep going, doesn’t it?
  14. That’s when it pays to be able to distribute the written word then, where people can consume it at their time and pace. Too much emphasis is placed on the act of speaking rather than the distribution of thought.
  15. Why shouldn't people be able to shout down views they find abhorrent? I think a bigger problem with society is people expecting headpats for their dumbass views, than a preponderance of safe spaces.
  16. Your going to have to move all the soy crushers and grain terminals then too, along with the rail heads.
  17. Well I'll disagree without about levees for New Orleans, as the port remains very useful, and a lot of out commodity exports flow out through the gulf, especially with the new Panamax vessels.
