GOP blame Democrats for Covid-19..how does that work

 For the past 4 years, the GOP has ruled the US, they've done a little governing, but mostly they've bitched and moaned about the world in which they hold all the reins of power.  Why they've done nothing about Social SEcuiryt, Healthcare, Medicaid, European Union, China (ok but what they did do was mostly ineffective).

Now, after a campaign rally, were Biden said that he would follow the advice of scientists, then suddenly COVID is the Democrats problem, why is it that the highest instances of COVID are all in GOP states.  Sure things were bad in NY and NJ, and they are still very bad in California -- but they don't come close to Texas, Florida, Arkansas and many many other red states!

The idea of the GOP has, since Obama, been the ideal of victimhood, not so much as a political party (with you know policies and solutions) but a branch of FOX news -- because victimhood plays well with the crowd.  I mean Trump has been in charge for four years you think that by now he would "own the economy" but no -- its some else's fault.  healthcare, police brutality (no nothing) and it's not like they like the cops, they like the cops when they arrest minorities or "others".  Bannon screams of political set-up (BTW there is a recording of him complaining about one of his co-conspirators to take the cash from the "build the wall fundraising" to buy a boat.

The GOP is out of ideas, never really had principles, I mean FOX news that talks about Biden's lack of religiosity (when he's a well known practicing catholic) is just amazing -- especially when you consider that Trump has probably never even opened a bible, and has probably broken every single commandment.  


Anyway, it continues to amazes me that 40% of the country thinks that Trump is a great leader!  How can it be so many?

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
