    But if gas skyrockets we will see even more gas captured from the oil wells that are drilled. Increased prices would also make a boom for drilling gas wells. If I was in the coal industry I would try to jump on the gas bandwagon sooner rather than later. Coal may be a cheaper fuel but as the...

    Bad deal. That mine is struggling already, not a good future ahead for coal. - - - Updated - - - Bad deal. That mine is struggling already, not a good future ahead for coal.

    Updated SB 2315 Online

    I agree if this doesn’t end up passing it will come up again in the future. The thing is that the vocal minority will not stop until the entire state is no trespass. They are still not happy with the burden being on them to have to post even on this database. They will not compromise forever and...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    I had a great conversation with Oban over emails and I hope she can get some of my concerns addressed. As a republican it’s sad that I had such a good conversation with her, but not as such with a senator from my own party.

    Unfortunately this plant must not have been producing cheap enough power because they are replacing it with a cheaper source of power using natural gas. The maintenance of the coal plant must have been the reason it got so costly to run. These smaller coal plants are not as cheap to run with all...

    Yes you should be fine. I run mine on a Honda 500 and have no issues. Someone said they run their machine in low but I don’t think that is needed on all machines. Dealer said there is no issues running it in high. - - - Updated - - - I don’t have power steering on mine and it does just fine...

    Camso tracks are pretty bullet proof and provide great floatation over snow. They cost a ton but you really don’t have a choice when the snow gets deep. Initial installation is a pain if you don’t know what you are doing so I recommend a dealer does it. Taking them on and off is not too hard...

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    He was by far one of the rudest legislators that replied to my email to him. I told him my concerns with the database and what they should fix. I also proposed other ideas to fix this issue. All he did is chew my ass by saying I had a bunch of excuses to not help landowners and said because of...

    I think someone else asked but I also wasn’t jumping on you to say you are wrong . The Coal Lake WMA is kind of a thorn in my side because of how that project was announced. Dalrymple annouced this project as an alternative to measure 5 to show that measure 5 is not needed because the state is...

    The farm bureau hates each of those conservation orgs and if they could they would gladly ban them from operating in ND. - - - Updated - - - I don’t believe the farm bureau supported this project or put up any money to make it happen granted I can’t think of anytime they have advocated for a...

    2014 for Coal Lake WMA. 2016 for Raab WMA (not sure if it’s open yet). Unfortunately that is not enough and for the record these farm groups are against projects like this. They are even against private landowners being able to choose whether to voluntarily sign up for long term conservation...

    You can thank the same groups who support this bill for less government spending on conservation. The NDFB doesn’t want to conservation to be any part of the farm bill. They don’t want the competition for land between them and conservation. Laws like 2315 will only booster support for more land...

    This is probably one of the biggest exaggerations I have ever read. It currently is very difficult to find a working phone number for many of the posted fields I have tried to gain access to. To say that it takes nearly no time at all to track down a phone numbers is a straight up lie. It will...

    I have not heard one reason from a legislator about why this needs to be put into law immediately before this app is created and proven to work. They can propose a working committee and funds to create the app and not move to change the law until a later session. I have also not heard from a...

    And what’s even better is that they think they have no reason to keep sportsmen happy. You alienate that group and you will lose one of the biggest supporters of their tax breaks, programs and exemptions that the rest of us non landowners and non farm business people don’t receive. Rural...

    Listened to the replay from this morning. As expected the reporters failed to ask the right questions that have many of us concerned. One interesting thing I heard was that this database was opt in and that landowners are not required to participate in the app, but the lawmakers said they can...

    Anybody seen the pictures of the massive walleyes they have been pulling out of ft peck? I heard they just broke the new state record and many other 16 pound fish have been caught. Sounds like they are targeting them off the back bay channels. I may to schedule a trip over there instead of Winnepeg!

    The "NEW" SB 2315 - Pucker Up Buttercup!

    The app could work perfectly if the only goal was to reduce the burden of posting land. To sell it as a way to prevent most unintentional trespassing is a stretch. Yes it would be easier for landowners but supplying metal signs or allowing paint to represent posting would also make it easier on...
