    It opened for me. Here you go: GUIDELINE #4: Terminate failed, outdated, and irrelevant programs.President Ronald Reagan once pointed out that "a government bureau is the closest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on earth." A large portion of the current federal bureaucracy was created...

    Ronal Reagan jokingly said, If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” gst, I had forgotten about the US Forest Service being under the US Department of Agriculture. OK, Plains asked which bureaucracies should be cut? I remembered something...

    PG said, Hypothetically "if".............there is no substance or fact in this sentence worthy of discussion.......... Trump was elected President because the people are fed up. But Trump speaks in generalities and I myself would be most amused if he went into the trenches and held up an...

    PG, I believe you are talking about IRS Section 179. If a business, not only farming, made some good money during a year they can direct expense an equipment purchase. Most people think the Section 179 deduction is some mysterious or complicated tax code. Essentially, Section 179 of the IRS...

    Coyotefoll69 said, I'm planting "spring" wheat right now. You read that right. Got over an inch the last couple days and it will make fall grazing. I usually leave a field of something standing for fall grazing. This year it was supposed to be sorghum/sudan but the weeds got ahead of it. At...

    Watson said, Yep, I remember that. You guys lost half your producers. Today at $5 dollars hanging weight and $5 dollars per pound live weight for calves, how many "new" producers do you have?

    Attended an Ag Coalition meeting and afterward was listening in on two bankers. They have grave concern. Two years ago fellows borrowed money for $3200 dollar cow calf pairs. Today that same cow is $1600 w/ calf at side. Half. OK, it's going to take a little longer for that cow to pay for...

    Constitutional carry oops

    In the story I believe Rep. Rick Becker means what he says that it was an oversight and it will be corrected next Legislative Session. During the creation of this Law, any citizen following along could have noticed this error and could have brought it forward during testimony or sent their...

    They are both beneficial. Grasses need herbivores to rough 'em up a little and fire gets rid of a lot of weed seeds leaving the grass roots zone intact. Right now all the private land around me looks over grazed. The biggest problem grazing public ground is when it's wet, a rancher is...

    Caught this tidbit from PG's revealnews.org thingy: Environmentalists complained that the BLM rewarded the ranchers for violating the law, allowing them to run cattle on a drought-stressed range that they said already was battered by decades of overgrazing. “The livestock industry enjoys...

    In the article Jim Fuglie writes: For several years Curly Haugland was the Chairman of the NDGOP National Committee. I can picture Haugland smiling at Fuglie not saying much. He knows Fuglie drives up a bunch of gas from Bismarck to and around the Badlands every month looking for a story why...

    Don Knots played Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show. I can still picture him trying to draw but his gun would get stuck in the holster and go off into the floor. Or he would point but was shaking so badly nobody wanted to be on the receiving end of that. Sheriff Andy Griffith was...
