The difference between the Tories and the Republicans

 Grift!

Everything you hear about the GOP are lies.  Time and time again, it may take a while, but you discover that the principles of the GOP were driven by grift, the con the scam.  Always the objective is to separate the idiots from their money.

Consider the amounts Trump has raised to show the election as fake, or other PAC to support conservative causes. Again and again, the money was used for other things, private planes, luxurious vacations, or even buying in bulk biographies to boost the standing of the writers.

Then there's the religious right a near fascist uneducated mob, ready to do almost anything to follow some deranged preacher's vision of the bible.  Usually, that preacher is in it for the money and leads a sordid life.

Take the founder of Mothers for Liberty, an anti-LGBTQ+ movement that is pro-book-burning because of too much sex, and then they find sex tapes with homosexual and group sex.  The truth is that they don't care it's all a con,  From Fox News all the way down to George Santos.  There are no principles just money.

The vast majority of Tories are true believers, few are in it for the money.  they could do better in the City if money was the key.  For some, it's the spotlight, some I have named and shamed, but again there are general principles which remain.

You can say that Farag is a dishonest man, but he only made money as an MEP, hardly the real graft.  

No Amiercan politics is about money and little else.  Power sometimes but the real focus is money.

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
