Trump in court

 Saw images of Trump in court in NYC. He looked sad and dejected probably because they didn’t do either a peep walk or take a mug shot (although I hear the trump t-shirt are on sale for 47$ with a made up mug shot).  Perp walk only necessary when the accused is arrested and trump came voluntarily to the court room. And everyone on planet earth knows what Trump looks like! 

Of the 34 counts about 22 relate to the same “crime”. Which are the 11 invoices from Cohen and 11 book entry so it means there are 14 accusations. 

The worse relate the to the scheme Trump, Cohen, National enquire to find the stories about Trump’s mistresses (and a doorman) buy the stories then impose gag order and kill the stories.  Trump then used campaign money (apparently) to repay cohen and the National enquirer of business.  It also appears that it’s Cohen and National Enquirer that went looking for the stories.  

All this is really small potatoes Trump’s real problem are the Jan 6 investigation and the vote tampering attempt in Georgia (not to mention the false electors list that were produced by team Trump after the election.

Tuesday evening Trump using inflammatory language agains the Judge in the case, his name wife and his daughter… he probably wants the judge to impose a gage order!  

Interesting a little bit, but not fascinating

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
