Need Rain!!

[Allen]

My gage a little ways outside of Lincoln had 0.93" of rain in it this morning. First legit rain my place has seen in over two months.

It's dry as hell here too, we've had red flag warnings for a week now. The USFS started a controlled burn the other day in 20 MPH wind. You'll be surprised to hear its burning wayyyyy better then they planned. They have 2 hot shot crews "tending" to it right now and more standing by.

If I had started any fire not to mention one that needed "tending" to I'd be knee deep in fines by now.

.80" Jamestown. Another 1"-2" with this afternoons front would be nice.

Yep worked called off until further notice, doing a 10 mile overlay on highway 5 east of langdon. That drain tile is some amazing shit duel purpose use. Fun Fact, Did you know that during the drought in 1930's corn was the first GMO crop to grow in areas with very low precipitation.

GMO corn was not available till the 90's. What have you been smoking.

Errrr the first GMO crops didn't exist till 82 and field tested till 86.

Damn it you beat me to it. I'm assuming he's just confusing GMO with the general selective picking of plants to survive certain conditions. mind you every single crop plant has been doing that since they became a crop so it's been going on for thousands of years.

You single-handedly could probably keep the Google search engine alive...









(yes, I had to use Google to spell "single-handedly)

Category 3 today. It just doesn't seem to be warm enough but we will wait and see no hail please

You are wrong gmo and geo are two different sciences of altering a plants DNA genomes. Everything is a gmo in one shape or form. But geo is combining two different species into one. Corn is an amazing plant which actually started of as no bigger then a piece of grass, This genetic engineering is what some people are afraid may cause problems.
Almost all of the corn and soybeans in the United States have genetically engineered genes that protect them from insect damage or herbicide damage. Genetic engineering is a short cut to get a new genetically modified organism that would be time consuming or impossible to achieve through hybridization.throughout centuries of harvesting of seeds of certain characteristic which the grower wanted.

Everything on this earth is a result of genetic engineering, either by we as humans, or nature itself. Survival of the fittest.

Not sure I agree with this DM...as it relates to humans. We haven't had to be "fit" to survive in a long long time! Pinch of sarcasm and truth I suppose...

My son...

haha.

I guess I didn't go looking at my own family tree at the whole vagina thing...haha

in what Imaginary Land of what the hell are you talking about now is he wrong!?!? You posted 1930's for GMO corn not GEO or YMCA or down with OPP! Like Mike said pretty much everything other than chickens are GEOS at this point.

 

[Traxion]

Over 2.5" in the last three nights here in far W SD. We needed it but not as bad as further east and north. Gonna be an ugly summer for the crops.

Dean gmo and hybrid could be considered the same thing:The genetic modification may be either through human manipulation or as a result of traditional plant breeding methods like selective breeding or crossbreeding between plants within the same species.
Also in Canada they call GMO, GEO so with that said its all how you define gmo, geo, or hybrids.

Well, not really. A GMO is when you insert a specific protein into the cell of a plant to get a desired trait. Selective and cross breeding Is not the same by a long shot.

 

[dean nelson]

Only if that crop has had its DNA manipulated for the change not just breeding it with a different crop! GMO is a very specific term used for a very specific type of science and last time I checked we are not sitting in Canada or Guatemala for that fact or any other random country you want to name off and what someone else calls it is of no concern to this conversation. So now I going to go back to eating my Kraft Dinner sitting on my Davenport! Eh

And GMO's are awsome! Who hasn't wanted a glow in the dark pig! Now just need to breed this into deer so we can hunt them at night.
