Harry -- more lies

It now emerges why Piers Morgan hates Harry so much, a court case initiated by Harry against the Mirror Group (where Morgan was editor-in-chief for nearly a decade until 2005) seems to expose that Morgan was a liar and that he was instrumental in spying on Harry and others for years.  the lawsuit that the Royal Family tried to stop is in full swing in London, needless to say that the gutter press will not look good.  This is something that the entire establishment has been trying to sweep under the carpet, unsuccessfully.  

As for Harry, more lies from the Daily Mail that Harry spent 30/40 minutes at Buckingham Palace.  Considering that Harry left Westminster at 1:15 pm (theur are time stamped photos) and arrived at Heathrow at 2:00 pm (again there are photos) it's not entirely clear how Harry could have spent 30 minutes at Buckingham Palace ---unseen by anyone.  Because even with a police escort, 40 minutes to make it from Westminster to Heathrow is amazingly fast in London traffic.

BTW one of my favorite election websites 1538 talked about the popularity of the Royal Family -- it quoted a poll by YouGov (not very scientific) of Americans and their sentiment about the royal family...yeah, I know Americans are stupid and don't know their history, it's entirely possible that many Americans believe they live in a monarchy under Charles III.  Seriously, who cares what Americans think about the King of England?

Anyway good fun

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
