In a previous post, Northern Farmer said “Go buy the high priced seed that produces a crop that nothing can eat, yea you heard me, feed that GMO corn to some hogs and see how well they do. Or GMO soybeans where the testing labs over in Europe found that second generation rats were all [...]
OK, some folks think I’m pretty smart and full of all sorts of wisdom. So let me share some of my wisdom today! Went to church today and locked the doors of the house for the first time in years, cause there’s a crime spree going on around here the last week. Two homes [...]
Saturday evening on the farm and things are wrapping up for the week. Sunday morning chores are about three quarters in place so I can do them in the fast version, racing to get done by nine o clock in order to head on out to church for services. This past week the [...]
