Fox "News"

It is amazing what legal discovery can achieve!  I mean in the case of the lawsuit between Fox News and the voting machines companies, it is all there, so much so that the lawyers for Dominion, one of the voting machine company, has asked for summary judgment, without going to court because the evidence is so overwhelming.  Every single talking head from Fox knew that the election fraud was false, they knew it was BS and told, in private text and email, that every guest that mentioned "proof" of voter fraud was a flake, and in fact over the past two years, it has been shown that every single case of electoral fraud has been perpetrated by GOP supporters.

So Fox is almost certain to be found guilty and will have to pay the $1.6 billion, but it gets worse because there are two voting machine companies so the total bill for Fox may be in the range of $3.0 billion.  That's just money.  Now think of the ridicule, even if you don't care about the news (and most Americans don't) a good egg-in-your-face scandal is always appreciated.  It makes them look foolish and weak.

More importantly, what does it say about Newsmax and OANN who have been even more extreme than Fox in talking about voter fraud and other bits and pieces?  What even the most ardent pro-Trump supporter will understand is that the people they respected lied to them, sure they gave them a "safe space", but from now on, every time some blowhard mentioned something from Fox news the rebuttal will always be "they lie about everything, knowingly admit it"

So next time Uncle Fred talks about what he's heard on Fox the reply is always going to be, "hey they lie so much that they paid two companies $ 3 billion for their lies, I don't believe anything they say" end of discussion.  

BTW no one sued Newsmax or OANN because they are broke -- Comcast will probably now have an argument for reclassifying Fox from its cable service with these lawsuits -- "they are not a news channel, purely entertainment"

Finally, they've even found emails from Rupurt Murchoch stating that the role of Fox news in 2016 was to support the GOP...I mean how can you be "fair and balanced" when the CEO tells you that your job is to support the GOP against the democrats.

I have no idea how these cases will affect FOX's broadcasting of the 2024 elections or even the GOP.  Lachlan Murdoch's son has two choices (a) stay the course and hope no one notices, (b) re-invent the network.  If I were a betting man, I would guess he will go for "a" and hope that the great American electorate will forget these lawsuits -- as a concoction by the twisted left leaning courts.  That would be my bet.  After all, the GOP keeps on supporting George Santos...this is a man who has lied about EVERYTHING, and the GOP still supports him

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
