    Property Tax Credit

    No I'm not , you don't have a clue about my situation. First off, I'm now retired but I've paid full taxes on my house and outbuildings since day one just like you have. I had to work full time off the farm to make ends meet and my off the farm income was more than my farm income...

    Property Tax Credit

    I honestly hope this measure fails by a very slim margin and the next time it comes to vote there is somewhat of a plan in place. Some of you guys have short memories and way to much faith in our leadership with the "lets pass it and let them figure it out" mentality. You're forgetting...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's been a good growing conditions up here except for the cool weather early on. So far the deer have stayed out but that might change after the electric fencer quit working and waiting on warranty. Been eating like rabbits and freezers are full. sweet corn is still a ways away

    Property Tax Credit

    I'm not complaining about anything, I'm comparing . There's a hell of a difference in the two. FWIW I own roughly 400 acres , 150 tillable and the rest is native woodland. Are you suggesting my taxes should go up and you don't pay any taxes or what are you getting at ? Are you willing...

    Property Tax Credit

    No thank you ,I built on high ground for a reason but It'll be interesting to know how they raise the remaining $30 million locally. Senator John Hoeven has been working with FEMA to fund the projects and keep them moving forward. He said it’s a $122 million endeavor, and he was able to...

    At least not without a plan in place , the buggy is in front of the horse on this one IMO.

    Property Tax Credit

    I am a small farm owner, do you realize that if this passes these small operators who live a frugal life could end up paying more than they already pay ? I'm NOT ok putting my property into a tax pool amongst million dollar lake homes , large farms and large house owners. I get the...

    Property Tax Credit

    Not me, I live out in the boondocks and don't want to be part of a decision how a big city will pay their bills for the exact reason you just listed.

    Property Tax Credit

    I haven't read back through all the comments so maybe this has been addressed but I'm skeptical how the tax will be replaced. It seems to me the guy with a 150k home will end up paying his fair share plus a portion of the million dollar homeowners property tax liability in one way or...

    Bad News - Ash Borer

    It might turn out to be beneficial here. Oak and Ash compete against each other in the native woodlands and the Oaks are winning.

    Bad News - Ash Borer

    They are loaded with acorns this year , and bigger than usual. The old timers used to claim it's going to be a tough winter when you see that.

    Bad News - Ash Borer

    Same here, I quit heating with wood at the wrong time. Neighbors have hauled away about 10 pickup loads a year for the last 5 years. I'm clearing trails and cleaning the dead fall. If they are standing I can push them over with my backhoe and dig out the stumps so easy clean up . You don't...

    Any Birders here?

    Looks like the Purple Martins flew the coop . Old house was at full capacity and new house had 4 or 5 pairs and at least 1 pair of sparrows. I found out that they can and will live in the same house. It must have been pretty crowded in the houses by the end. I should have taken a...

    Bad News - Ash Borer

    Has anyone tried planting Burr Oak? Or are there stands of them on the prairie ? They are abundant in my neck of the woods and the toughest , longest living tree on the farm. We have lots of ash but they have a short lifespan when compared to the burr oaks.

    Canada Smoke

    Funny how people will start a fire and sit next to it till their clothes reek of smoke and it's fun but a whiff of wildfire smoke is so unhealthy .

    Canada Smoke

    I'd guess 99% of the smoke is from an act of nature. It's how forests regenerate themselves.

    I'm surprised there isn't more settling of foundations in some areas down there. I've seen 3 feet of topsoil and soft wet clay with the consistency of pudding or butter below that.
