America, religion and social distancing

There was always something "special" about Americans and their religion.  For years, working with Mid-American fundraisers coming to Canada I had to actually tell them that "no, you cannot start your presentation about your religious beliefs"  -- seriously they were appalled that they could not discuss their belief in JC!

Now in a number of states are having constitutional fights with churches (not catholic you will note that since Gallileo are slightly more pr-science) that want to be able to "get together to pray.  Some "moron" even said that "she did not believe that you could catch Covid-19 in a church.  There no comments to that level of stupidity

As a not particularly aggressive guy with regards to religion, I take the view that if they have a death wish -- who am I to stop them.  It is well documented that a number of Koreans were infected in a religious service (supercarrier) -- at the time no one knew of the risk of covid019 still...

America has become a place of death wish for principles; (1) "socialized medicine is clearly cheaper and has, as a whole, better patient outcome -- everywhere in the world this has been proven...but in America despite the widely available evidence... (2) Guns kill it is evident that guns are a problem in America school shooting aside America has more death by guns than anywhere else in the world -- and that includes war zones! (kidding on this last one).  Still, there is a large percentage of Americans that believe that a gun will save them, (3) That Jesus will save them -- if they go to church (BTW there is literally nothing preventing anyone from praying in the privacy of their own home.  But clearly, America's Gods need s good turn out otherwise they will not listen.

Three clear cases where America has gone mad, but there are more,  These are just the low hanging fruits.  I take the view that a majority of the "must go to church" crew are "pro Trump" and that on that basis they also hate math.  So all I have to say is stay away from these bastards...and save yourself, they, on the other hand, they can be the ones that go and meet their God for real.

Hey maybe that's the driver -- it is the end of time and they want to go and meet their maker, why stop them?

OK THIS WAS MEAN -- STILL, EVANGELICALS ARE LOOKING TO THIN THEIR FLOCKS WHY SHOULD WE STOP THEM

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
