Kamala Harris

In less than 100 hours the fight for the 2024 election has entirely changed.  Sunday's bombshell now looks like the only reasonable outcome as Biden's numbers were in freefall.   As I mentioned a week ago, people were no longer listening to him, but just watching for a fall in mental acuity.   

Sunday night Harris was obviously the favourite, for several reasons, first, she is already the #2 on the ticket, but also she has direct access to nearly $300 million in war chest reserves since the money was for a Biden/Harris presidential ticket.   On Monday Harris moved from "one of several" possible choices to the only game in town.  All the other potential challengers supported Vice President Harris' bid to replace Joe Biden.

Monday night it was announced that Ms Harris had raised nearly 100 million dollars, in less than 24 hours as the presumptive Democratic party nominee.   Tuesday she did her first stump speech and she killed it.  Vice President Harris had an annoying tick (she made a constant clicking sound with her mouth when speaking), well that's gone.   She sounded prepared, ready and to the Trump/Vance campaign very young.  Vice President Harris is two decades younger than Donald Trump.  Trump's game plan was to show him as the Alpha male to Joe Biden's frail posture.  That doesn't work with Vice President Harris.   

Trump's even bigger problem is that he is undoubtedly racist surrounded by racist white men, and they will attack Vice President Harris for being a black woman (it already started on Wednesday -- it was plain for all to see on Fox News, no dog whistle straight out anti-woman and anti-black).   Finally, Donald Trump has tried to block the transfer of cash from Biden/Harris to Harris/???, with the FEC in a lawsuit.  

The reality that Kamala Harris is walking into the Democratic convention as the presumptive nominee will make the convention boring, but it will make the election interesting.   The Trump campaign is trying to pivot, but their entire battle plan was built on Joe Biden, an old man.

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

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will slap them with no-fly status. Update;  It seems that what they threw on the airc

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
