Cinton: Shadow President?

I mean, its been almost a year, Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump, and yet she's in the news all the time.  She gets the kind of free publicity that did so much good for Trump. There's even a senate investigation committee, that started yesterday and is in full swing, if you consider that the Russia Senate investigation committee has been at it for nearly 9 months with virtually nothing accomplished:

One is about a sitting Presdient!
The other is about a private citizen!

Guess which one is being followed with the more zeal...

It starts with Fox News asking almost every day: What would Hilary do, in Trump's place -- when the real question is what would Mike Pence do in Trump's place!  Anyway that's what the constitution says, and Clinton is not in any succession plan to the White House.

Very strange, the GOP won but is acting like a loser.  Its hard to fantom what's up with that.  The only thing I can come up with is that the GOP is having real issue with Trump, and by using Clinton almost every day they are saying "look how much worse it could be"

Of course the on-going saga of Clinton and Comey -- that latter almost certainly cost the former the election, is a Republican nominee (yep) and is still seen as a collaborator (use the word with purpose) of the Clinton White House.  Now there's a possibility of nefarious payment in 2009 to the Clintons.  I shit you not.  This is what the Senate is doing these days, ancient political witch hunts -- I guess it beats doing real work.

Anyway, enough with the rant

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
