Trump another terrible statement

Its Friday, and really I cannot say that I am surprised.  A few days ago, the internet was agog at Trump's latest and greatest, which was to basically say that a 2004 dead American soldier was a traitor, that his father was a ISIS sympathiser and that his wife was afraid of her husband -- as all good muslims women should be; that was the end of Trump.

Guess what not even close:

In the last few days and in no particular order:


  1. ISIS was created by Obama and Clinton
  2. That if Clinton wins then those who support the second amendment (guns) should do something, maybe.
  3. The NYT should lose its accreditation ('cause they've been such strong supporters of Clinton...not)

That's in seven days; its not really important but the facts are that ISIS was created in the late 1990 and became what it is today in the early 2000 -- so maybe Bill Clinton -- but Hilary was only his wife then!  As for inciting violence against clinton -- second amendment remedies are usually meant as armed revolved -- the whole point of the second amendment (a well organized militia...).

The point is that nothing sticks to Trump because his supporters just don't care, they don't read the papers they are not interested in mainstream media -- they like Rush they like their crazies that it.  David Frum said it best, bottom line Trump is not speaking to us.  He is talking to they tired the (feeling) oppressed white blue collars who feel they got a raw deal (not entirely false).  Although they have no share in the greatest economy, if they had they would have made a fortune, they have little education and what they do have has not prepared them for the new world -- because in their mind the world has changed and has left them behind.  

Some compare Trump to Hitler, probably the right time frame but the wrong country my thinking is that Musolini is a much better "example" of Trump.  As a friend always says:  look it up on google!

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b) ground beef requires process

21st century milk parlour

When we first looked at building our farm in 2018, we made a few money-saving decisions, the most important is that we purchased our milk herd from a retiring farmer and we also purchased his milking parlour equipment.  It was the right decision at the time.  The equipment dates from around 2004/05 and was perfectly serviceable, our installers replaced some tubing but otherwise, the milking parlour was in good shape.  It is a mature technology. Now, we are building a brand new milk parlour because our milking cows are moving from the old farm to the new farm.  So we are looking at brand new equipment this time because, after 20 years of daily service, the old cattle parlour's systems need to be replaced.  Fear not it will not be destroyed instead good chunks will end up on Facebook's marketplace and be sold to other farmers for spare parts or expansion of their current systems. All our cattle are chipped, nothing unusual there, we have sensors throughout the farm, and our milki

So we sold surplus electricity one time last summer...(Update)

I guess that we will be buying an additional tank for our methane after all.   Over the past few months, we've had several electricity utilities/distributors which operate in our region come to the farm to "inspect our power plant facilities, to ensure they conform to their requirements".  This is entirely my fault.  Last summer we were accumulating too much methane for our tankage capacity, and so instead of selling the excess gas, that would have cost us some money, we (and I mean me) decided to produce excess electricity and sell it to the grid.  Because of all the rules and regulations, we had to specify our overall capacity and timing for the sale of electricity (our capacity is almost 200 Kw) which is a lot but more importantly, it's available 24/7, because it's gas powered.  It should be noted that the two generators are large because we burn methane and smaller generators are difficult to adapt to burn unconventional gas, plus they are advanced and can &qu
